Artist's Comments

Wow, where is the spontaneous combustion emote. /wrist ftw.

This has been a hard piece to make, ironic because I see it as pretty mediocre. I started without a solid concept and severely paid the price. It seems a shame because I was looking forward to this contest, but inspiration blocks have left me at the back of the pack.


- EDIT - Having left this picture as my desktop for a couple of days it has completely changed for me. Having completely grown out of distain, I now enjoy the piece, recognising the subtle details I was ignorant of before hand. Although it sounds arrogant, I do believe the piece has strong merit to it if you are able to look past the immediate impact and focus on the depth found around the planets and shadow.

Well, I felt the need to update my view on the piece. Happy new years all. :)

looks good to me. probably could have done w/o the lens flare in front of the planet, but it still looks really good! congrats!

I see what you mean about the "mediocrity". But while the piece may not portray the kind of vast and epic scene that the competition is supposedly looking for, it is still gorgeous and stimulating in all ways aesthetic. Good work.

Cheers,
Brennan.
