A simple, yet complex solar system (not ours, that is)

I made this during the small breaks that i took during the past 4 days in which i have been hauling ass with stuff to finish for school. In fact, im taking a break to write this description now =P

I was looking through my stuff and noticed that i have never attempted a solar system. I have made galaxies, planets, and nebulae, but never really a system. So i went ahead and started working on one with the mindset that i would like to something good enough to hang on my wall. This is the end result.

I was planning on doing a much bigger image with this being just a section of it, but as i worked on it, i thought "hmmm this isnt bad at all, i better stop now before i overdo it"

And so i did. However i may continue to do the bigger piece later on.

Needless to say, scales be damned. Adding nebulae or any other things in the background was out of the question because they wouldve been distracting. Same goes for brighter stars and bright objects like comets. Just for the record, this isnt our solar system. But i looked at ours to see the pattern of size in planets as the planets get farther away from the sun. You may also notice that the orbits go over the planets a bit. Well this is to give the impression that the planets are attached to them. I tried turning off the orbits and it looks like a mess.

Unfortunately, the most standard long-ratio frame that i found was 11x36, which ended up being way too thin for this. I recommend online frame stores, like FramesByMail.com or things of the like.

With all that said, i still welcome your critiques and suggestions. If there is something you dont like, tell me what it is!

I want to know how God created this world. I am not intrested in this or that phenomenon. I want to know His thoughts, the rest are details.

Once again you managed to "wow" me! You always make everything look so real, as if I am looking through a telescope. Lovely colors and detail here. Excellent work, Diny. :)
