Description Nevus III is an uninhabitable planet because of the gas in the atmosphere which is unbreathable, however the planet contained elements not found on any other planet in the system. Research and expidition teams were sent to study the planet and gather the element which was used for the hulls in spaceships as well as vehicles of many different types.

When a large asteroid was spotted by both Nevus I and II and was projected on a collision course with Nevus III, communications were sent to the teams on Nevus III to evacuate. Most of the Research teams left with plenty of time to spare but the expidition teams didn't leave until their quotas were full, almost causing their demise.

Edit: Edited some stuff after it had been pointed out to me and now I think it looks much better hehe ^_^ No change to the impact because I'm happy with it so yeah haha >_ This is also being submitted as a print now...hehe ^_^

Comments and Favs are always appreciated and part of a healthy artists balanced diet!!! ^_^

My only crit. would be the sharpness of the pic-not enough IMO; the tex. on the planet in the foreground is too smooth/blurry...hopefully you still kept the PSD ! But other than that it's awesome. The sun is definitely one of the best part of the pics, I love the swirling flames. The nebula kicks ass too.

Sorry but I dont really like it
Im always impressed with space landscapes because they seem so real and youre not too bad at it either, but this one, in its composition and style, doesnt do it for me
It's too random imo, the elements seem scattered this and there without much attention to composition
Plus, it's pretty loaded, the sky looks.. yeah, loaded.. too many stars (once again, imo) and the asteroids are kinda scattered strangely too.. is it like multiple rings or just little lonely groups (which is weird)
And finally, the explosion... the dust at the end of it is pretty nice but the explosion itself, we can see the brush strokes..and its a redondant subject.. someone else did a similar exploding planet.. I think it was alyn maybe.. anyway

Sorry for the long critique, dont take it too personnaly, I'm not too fond with the image, thats all. Tried to point out some stuff, Think whatever you like of it.
And keep it up.

Don't be sorry, everyone has an opinion and no matter what you do, someone somewhere will hate it...you're just one of those people for me haha ^_^ Besides, I have the opinion that you're not a real artist if someone doesn't like your work...You think everyone liked the Mona Lisa? Or the ceiling of the cistine chapel? Someone probably walked into the chapel right after it was done and went, "OMG Fire your interior decorator!!"

As for it being random, that's probably a reflection of me, I'm very random o_o And yeah, it is a redundant subject, I already have a piece with a meteor crashing into a planet called Finale, which I'm working on redoing a little bit, but anyway, and yeah, I think Alyn's done several pieces with planets being destroyed LoL But the entire concept of destruction is really just a reflection of the human race. We love to destroy shit...o_O Sucks don't it? LoL

As for seeing the brush strokes, I'm guessing you mean in a bad way, but I myself don't see that As for the composition, you shoulda seen it before...there was a ring around the upper planet, so meshed with the sun, so I took it away...And as for realism, well, two things, first, the sun wouldn't really have a flare like that, at least, everyone seems to think that would be impossible, but I know no one's been all over the universe and back so I don't think anyone really knows what exactly is possible in space. And second, it's art, it's not always going to be realistic...This being addressed to your meteor comment by the way. But yeah, they were meant to be random meteor groups in space

Thanks for commenting and letting me know whatcha think!!! I appreciate that you didn't outright bash the picture without any constructive critisism, and I thank you!!! As I always say, ALL comments are appreciated and part of a healthy artists balanced diet HAHA

Sorry for the long reply lol >_

khorask [2005-06-24 00:38:33 +0000 UTC]

I luv the space.. really nice, especially the sun and the gas around it.
My major crit it the yellow glow on the planet, it looks like u just whacked a blurred color on top, and the actual terrain underneath is undisturbed.
I think an asteroid that big would be knockin over mountains, causing massive dust clouds and dirt to be blown into the air.. etc.

Great job

GieGie In reply to khorask [2005-06-26 10:27:29 +0000 UTC]

The terrain underneath is on fire o_o

khorask In reply to GieGie [2005-06-26 21:14:18 +0000 UTC]

Obviously the terrain is supposed to be on fire …

what I was trying to get at is the terrain that’s on fire looks exactly the same as the terrain that isn’t (minus the change in color). Wouldn’t such an impact cause a bit more damage to the planet ?

Just trying to help.. this will be the last u hear of me on the matter

A few general comments -

Glow extends too far down the side of the main planet.
The glow should be deleted off the dark side of the upper right planet, as well as darkening it.
The second biggest (in the lower left) planet would do much better at half that size.
The background is most excellent.... absolutely no crits there...
I have no idea what that swirly thing around the sun is - but the flare is done excellently.
You should add a large white round brush in the centre of the sun, because I can see through it. (I assume you used a linear dodge layer at a lowered opacity? It often has that effect).
Stars are beautiful, but they're all green. Maybe some blue/orange stars would be nice?
I'll be honest with you; I don't like the planet rings. Planet rings are extremely difficult to get right, because if you mess up the angle/texture/colour even a little bit off, it screws up the entire effect. Either redo (and redo very well), or delete (this is strictly "imo").
The little ships are wonderful, but if they varied much more in size it would be incredible. Try making one (a ship) a brush and using different brush effects to vary the sizes to extremes.
The centre of the explosion is brilliant, but the shockwave needs some serious revision. Imo, I don't beleive it needs to extend that far across the planet, or have that many layers of shockwaves. In fact, If you simply lowered the opacity of the biggest shockwave layer to around 20%, I think this would work much better and help focus the explosion, making it more intense.

That's about all I got to say about this! I hope you take note of what I've said, and make a few changes... in fact, I'd love to make them myself, if you feel like emailing me a .psd...

Other than these changes, the art is excellent, the composition and most of the colours are wonderful - it's not oversharpened/overcontrasted/oversaturated... so it's all good!

Keep up the great work.

TY for all that...now...in response...

OMG I DIDN'T NOTICE YOU COULD SEE THROUGH THE SUN!!! ARGH!!! I must fix this o_o And no, I just set the layer to screen and didn't lower the opacity haha >_
I DID make one ship o_o Guess I just didn't vary the sizes as much as I could've...o_o

The shockwave I'm happy with actually LoL ^_^

The planet rings pissed me off too and I'm currently working to revise them and make them better, as well as the planet hehe >_
TY again!!!

no your absolutly right. bit i just think you should avoid using sentaces like
"The glow should be deleted off the dark side of the upper right planet, as well as darkening it."
it comes across as very dominating. but no i congradulate you for leave constructive criticism ^_^
