Description
This is an illustration of how I imagine Gliese 581g.Gliese 581g is a planet discovered recently in 2010, it has a distance from earth of 20.3 ly. We also call it "the second Earth" because searchers and scientist think that there is an atmosphere, water, a habitable zone, life and a surface temperature just like Earth.
The two planets in the background are representing Gliese 581c (+moon) and Gliese 581b.

This is one of my favorit artworks. It is my desktop backgound for a few years now. I just love this scenery, the girl watching the spaceships fly away. There is so much meaning, so much emotion you can interpret into this. I realy like it.

This is a beautiful picture and all, but Gliese 581 c/g is a tidally locked planet. one side always faces the sun, one side faces away, and the strip in the middle is all that can support life. Under such conditions, the sky would be blood red, and due to lack of photosynthesis, plants would also lack chlorophyll, making them black and carnivorous.
Not to mention that it's twice to for times the size of Earth, so 2-4 x gravity would mean all land animals would be short and stocky.
So essentially, it would look like Hell and be... populated by... imps. o_O
...I like your way better.

Earth will die in who knows how long from now, depends how people use resources responsibly. If humanity reaches that planet, I hope they learn their lesson and be smarter to take care of nature with respect cuz everything in the universe has limit.

Il y a de l'importation en masse , la qualité du premier plan n'est pas aussi exceptionnel que le fond. C'est bien cherché j'apprécie le jeux de couleurs, mais ça reste trop contrasté , et le format et beaucoup trop grand !
Bref en résumé bravo mais essais de faire moins "bling bling" la prochaine fois, plus sobre peut être et pourquoi pas mois surréaliste , mais ça ça reste un avis fondé sur mes propres gout

très belle image l'artiste
ta story me fait trop penser au film Pendorum

Merci Romain
Pendorum je connais pas, c'est quoi ?

y a pas de quoi l'artiste ^^
Film science fiction ou des hommes "colons" à bord d'un vaisseau sont envoyer sur une planète presque semblable à la terre
c'est le lien que je fait avec ta création
après,plus de rapport mais un membre du personnel qui se réveille après un dodo de plusieurs années ne se souviens plus de rien mais fait face à un grave problème, la plupart des personnes ont disparues et des créatures horribles sillonnent le vaiseau
(en fait ils se sont déjà crachés sur cette fameuse planète)
bon j'ai fini xD
