So i was kinda bored and decided to play around.
So i made an earth-moon wallpaper. i havent done one of these in a while.

Highlights: i went for a simple composition, but concentrated a lot of detail on the Earth, with clouds and city lights
In fact, i can even see where i live
The moon has a glow, thats not the atmosphere, its the specularity.
At first i tried to have the sun emit a red glow, but after hours of frustration, I realized that for earth, the only way to go is BLUE.

Downs: im not too satisfied with the crispness of the clouds, and its a shame that i had to compress it for everyone to see, otherwise it wouldve been better.
The moon is not that close to earth. In fact, its 1/4 the size of earth, and in this pic it looks like 1/10th. And its ot that close to earth either, its separated by 250.000 miles. But when you do an Earth wallpaper, the moon just HAS to be there. and i think this is the best way possible to fit it there.

I used what i always use: 3d studio Max, Photoshop, Earth textures from NASA (so this will not be available for prints) and lots of experimentation.

Enjoy

Along with many others just adding my kudos regarding the wonderful job that you've done in creating this great space art!

Also checking to see if you got the email that I sent to your Hotmail asking about using it on a website?

Please let me know. Thanks!

BTW, for whatever it's worth. Just thought I'd mention that though I've visited deviantART numerous times over the years, and there is a lot of great artwork on this site, this and one of your other works, "From Earth 2," were the first that struck me in such a way that I've now signed up :)

Hello. your art skills are terrific!

Would you mind if I used your '[link]

as a 975x180 banner on my bandcamp page?

Haven't made a penny so far, so I'm hardly in a position to pay you to let me use it. Just wondering if you'd mind...

My music isn't going to make me money, the donations will be going to support a post-crisis charity for Japan.
