Description
Collab between andhypnotic made the landscape in Terragen
sumopiggy made the space in Photoshop 7
Totally out of the blue hypnotic asked me if I wanted to collab, and gave me a link to one of his awesome terragen renders, so I thought I would accept, since I'm starting to get into terraspace now anyway.
Heh, i dont know where my inspiration came from tho, I used lots of colours in the nebula without having to force myself to, like in some of my previous work.
Anyway I think it turned out great
Both the terrain and the space go so well together.Thanks to SamODJ for the help with the name
Comments, feedback, favs etc etc are always appreciated.

Amazing work... but the problem is on the texture of the big planet, well, but the nebula is fantastic

Your nebula work is stunning, and the planet work is impressive. There are a few things that get to me:
The orange in the nebula does not agree with the orange in your sunset... perhaps it should.
The noise stars don't really do it for me, but this is a matter of preference.
Many of these photoshop-terragen colabs have stunning compositions, but fail to account for perspective and/or neglect the importance of a focal point. Any of these "components" make sense when you look at them dead-on, and provide interest sufficient to sustain a piece in and of themselves. When you put them all together you get several foci vying for attention and complex (often nonsensicle) perspectives.
Very nice overall. That nebula is ~grrreat~

this is good, the design and composure are excellent, as are the colors
but the bottom planet doesnt seem to fit just right like the other planet does, and the faw-away stars need work, they lookmore like grain than stars, maybe less of them and more bright?
but overall a nice peice, keep it up

This is a very attractive image, the colors are very warm and glowing, definately brings to mind the feel of the divine. I am not very expereinced with these images, how they are made, ect, so I will just critique some technical aspects. Pardon me if I'm lacking in termanology, space is not my area of greatest interest.
The colors are very vivid and fit the title very well. The terrane and the space both fit together very well. I would have loved to see more of the terrane, however. It feels as if it were cropped short when compared to the massive ammount of space above it. The angle of the clouds, as they drop off the page, leave it feeling somewhat uncomfortable, as if you want to either see a curve of the earth or you want to be able to see 'under' the clouds, see that they have an edge and get a view of the earth below. The moutains combined with the clouds make it feel very 'trench' like, not like a rounded earth which would make the image more 'comfortable.'
The blue hues used 'under' the... nebula, I believe it is, is a wonderful addition. It contrasts nicely with all the orange in the image and helps it to pop off the page. I'd love to see some slightly bluer shadows added into the mountains, as well.
The nebula is nicely rendered, but the placement is very centered. The nebula and the 'valley' on the horizon, the single bright star placed just above the horizon almost directly on the center-line of the image, combined with the two planets being roughly the same size and set on a diagonal, causes the image to look very measured, which feels unnatural, as that rarely happens in nature. Pushing the 'valley' of the horizon off to one side, and/or pushing the neubla off ot the other will help kill some of the centrality of the image. Making one planet larger and the other smaller will not only help make it feel more natural, but will also give it more deapth, making it feel more 'epic,' giving it more deapth and helping it to feel even more divine.
This really is a lovely image, nice use of making the light rays show movement. I hope my critique was helpful... as I said, I'm not entirely familiar wiht this kind of image, so I'm simply pointing out some technicalities. Nice colab, lovely work on both your parts. Keep up the good work.

This was very helpful, you've picked out a few points which others havent and its good to hear an "outsiders" opinion.
I have taken in what you've said and will pay more attention to the composition and layout of my future pieces.

beautiful work
love the space...so many colours, all blend together nicely, the transition from the terrain up is well done too
great collab

Ooooo wow I really really like this picture. I've been trying to find realistic-looking space pictures and this is one of the best I've found.

That starfield is too sharp, it would be smoother, like that nebula. Which is very nice. Terragen scene is pretty normal and it needs some nice clouds. Borders should be little bit diffrence, because now they feel like you have make them in 10seconds 
But still this is nice one.

Seriously Sumo when are you going to stop impressing me? That nebula is simply awe-inspiring. Im in such an envious rage to simply imitate and copy you right now. Dont be too surprised if you see one of my sorry attempts at such. Its just gorgoues. The colors are stunning and vibrant, varied and sharp. I can't get over the detail and realism of it. To me the only thing in this picture is the nebula

Amazing work! Love the nebula, only the planets need some work but, there small so it's really not needed hehe. Love this

Very cool, but you have two different styles of clouds involved.. the airbrushed cloud nebula looks funky when its next to a much sharper rendered cloud.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol thats normally what collabs are, two different styles
Anyway thanks man

Wow, this is beautiful! You guys did such an awesome job on it! The stars and all their detail and the mix of so many colors, like a puddle gasoline in it...it's an odd kind of beauty. ~Kay

Nicely done. The terrain is fair, but the nebula is the best part of this piece. Very well done, very... wraithlike, distant.
My only criticisms are for the planets and the stars. While they're fair, they don't quite match the quality of the nebula. The stars look a bit... patchy, cloudy. They should form more belts, long streams, or radial clouds that merge into one another. Perhaps this is a style issue, but I think a bit more flow in the starfield would really help match the smooth, clean flow of the nebula.
my issues with the planets lie entirely in their textures, which are rather simple. The lighting is fine, good angle, right percentage of the sphere shaded, but the textures make them seem bland. Perhaps something a bit more... formed, outlined, or at least with the proper amount of contrast in relation to the rest of the piece (The bottom planet is better than the topmost).
At any rate, very well done.

Thanks
Yea, for some reason I didnt notice how ugly the stars made this piece look until after I submitted it.
But I will pay greater attention to the starfield in my next piece, you've given me some to think about
And the planets, the top one had a cool texture, until I made the clouds for it which covered it, lol. I'll play around with it and put it in my next piece, and hopefully it will look better.
I'll also make a new gas planet some time, with more detail than that one
Anyway, thanks alot

Hey Sumo - I really like this one. Great job to both artists. Favorite part = the clouds rushing up the mountains
(yay tt Lis corner was written on a td let!)

it draws the viewer into a new realm of imagination, as you might have intended. Rich but simple textures and small effective color strands make it stand out to me. beautiful job!
