Description This is what i would like to call a " quickie"

quickie because it only took me 1 day to make, probably due to the fact that it was part of a prototype for use in my previous piece called "effulgence."

I went for a simple composition and complex objects. my favorite part of the whole thing is the lower planet. I really like how the 20+ layers for the sucker turned out to make what, in my opinion, is a nice planet. The bigger one is nice but not as detailed, which was done on purpose so that the viewer focuses its attention on the smaller one. The big sun coming from behind the big planet is there for the same reason, which is complemented by the size of the image. You will probably get your eyes away from the sun and focus on the smaller details.
Starfield came out better than my previous ones, a LOT better in my opinion.
I noticed that the average space scene barely uncludes blues anymore, as opposed to a few months ago, where anything that wasnt blue would be considered off-the-hook. So i decided to bring back some of the peacefulness that blue brings.

That beind said, the city lights show signs of civilization, maybe human, which portrait the chance of intelligent life on another worlds.

This piece was done entirely in photoshop, no 3d studio max at all.

This is awesome. I love the details and I agree; I like the smaller planet better. Seeing as that was the goal, that's probably a very good thing.

Yeah, I am commenting on your work about 2 months after it was made, but still this is one awesome piece, if i could i would definately buy a print of this, it's just stunning.

This is just breath taking.
The colors are so coming alive on here.
The small details are so well ... done!
I can't find one fault.
I think I might buy this actually. It would be a good gift from me to me

a wonderful piece! i love the sunburst! truley inspiring... although im not too keen on the city lights, i dont think from that far out they would be that bright or that distinguishable (sorry for spelling) i think it would be alot more blurred and dull.. but overal great textures! and brush work.. keep it up

What a freaking great piece! Down to almost everything. Ofcourse there is one thing I don't like. The bigger planet seems oblonged. And well, call me stereotypical or uneducated in astrology. But I like my planets round like a sphere damnit!

I figure I would drop and suggest something on this piece, model a space shuttle or a space station and add it to this piece I personally think it would add some spice to this one instead of your usual just planet's, sunlight, and gases. again just a suggestion don't take my reply the wrong way, people often do when they read my ascii

this piece is as you said...peaceful. i really like that it's blue, and simple, sometimes people make space scenes that just seem cluttered, i mean by the time you get a planet or 2, or 3 and some moons and a nebula, and a comet and some stars, and on and on...you get the picture, it seems like the only thing that got left out was the kitchen sink. sometimes simple is good, and in this case it's very good. awesome job

tapius [2003-10-22 17:36:17 +0000 UTC]

I don't want to knock the picture because it is very good. But I have a problem with how close the planets are. Is one about to crash into the other? It seems like a common thing for space artwork to have everything too close though so I'll shut up now.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

dinyctis In reply to tapius [2003-10-22 20:20:02 +0000 UTC]

more like an optical illusion if you will.

or maybe they have independant orbits and in this shot they happen to be the closest, like it happened with Earth and Mars back in august.

However, from a realistic point of view, if one wanted to show two planets, one would have to be humongous and the other would have to be like a circle thats like 50 pixels in diameter.
