Artist's Comments

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.

Enjoy and do not forget to leave feedback :)

Neat. I like the unbearable brightness of the emerging sun, the hues of blue and the wonderfully detailed planet surfaces. It looks sooo real :-) !

The stars are a bit too noise filtery. Although I love the texture on the fore-most planet, the way you can see the pin-head sized citys down below on a planet dwarfed by a huge celestial body.

no wonder you stuff is so good, not only your awsome skills, but a "quickie" is considered 1 day!
