Description should be titled "RagnarΓΆk", but Deviantart doesn't want me to put an Γ– in the title.
I try to upload it the second time now, didn't work first time.

FULLVIEW please!

Tell me what you think about it.

Nice, very good work. Is it only me seeing a dragon's head in the nebula?

this is a really great piece of work, I love the colours alot and the detail is great... The only downside I can see is that the light source seems to be in a slighlty different direction when you look at the planet, then look at the mountains and the shadows that are cast, same with the small green lit planet the shadow from the green star seems too high... but that is me being picky, sorry.

I really like this

Gorgeous colours - they're really rollicking - like a big party! love the contrast with the green too. Your planet textures are amazing because they actually corerspond to how clouds would look under those lighting conditions.

this is great man, you have real sense of depth here. The only part im not sure on is the fire/flame part on the terragen. Just looks like it need reworking or more detailing. Get taht right and i would definately fav

Anyhoo nice job

mmmmm.... the battle of the norse gods i think is what ragnarok means, im a bit rusty nice work here i love the battle of the red and green makes for good contrast, the terragen is a nice touch, if its a photo same applies! well done nice work no crits!

thx.
well, a word to the nebula.
I wanted it to look like fire, as if the atmosphere is burning. This was the main idea of the picture. This was more imprtant to me than a realistic looking nebula.

The main planet is a 3d-planet, just some post-work with photoshop, used some bump-mapping, maybe a bit too much.

nice composition man! the terregan (i think ) and the photoshop come together nicely! the main planet could have been a little less embossed though maybe? it just seems a tiny bit chunky. It's a nice texture though, you've done well there!

my only real crit on this piece would be the sapce dust/nebulas. They seem too solid. All of the red brushing down thebottom looks soo good and blends so well, but when it gets to the yellow part i cant really tell whats goin on. If you blurred these a little then added some minor chunky or sharp bits i think they'd come out a lot more realistic. i know i'm not an expert and im not trying to be really harsh to ya or anything, but the nebulas just look a little bit solid.

But overall the piece is good! the intense colours contrast on each other but at the same time they blend so well. Well done, and keep brushin!

Beautiful work! Lovely colours. I agree with floydier's point, however. Not only do the rings seem to lack perspective, but the plantry shadow actually makes them look thicker on the far side.

Lovely, the lighting works well. only thing I see that could use some correction is the planet's ring. Dinyctis wrote a little article on ring correction over at SolarVoyger - [link] src="https://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w /winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";P" title="Wink/Razz" />N=1

hope it helps..

thanks.
well, already knew about that during making. the rings.
but I thought, there is so much distance tothe planet and the ring, there would hardly be any difference in size between front and back of the ring.
well, maybe I'll fix it up tomorrow. Depends on how difficult it will be to change it in the final picture.
