Description
The nearest and smallest Moon of a large Earth-like world has been inching ever closer each year, disaster is inevitable. Probably struck by a comet and knocked out of orbit, or maybe interfered with by two larger Moons nearby are likely reasons for such an even to happen...On approach, anyone or anything viewing from the ground notices a growing disk blocking out the Sunlight, darkening skies, and magnetically-influenced aurora's and lightning appearing in the most unlikely areas, their flash of colour illuminating just what exactly is about to come crashing down. The ground shakes due to gravitational stress acted upon it, and storm cells in the atmosphere go haywire as they move above turbulent seas, their world will end before the main event even happens...the impact!
Well heres my successful entry to 's first artpack they have made ever since I was finally good enough to stand a chance lol.
Can you beleive that the "base" render for the storm clouds in the blue planet about to be hit was done in Vue? yep...clever use of terrains right there, thats all I will say
...who needs Terragen 2 for dramatic orbital renders?Wallpapers of this and some other cool space-themed art can be found at TerraSpace's Moons pack ...I won't be putting WP's here, but print is available.

Not bad. I liked the part where she drew the scenery to life

Reminds me "2000: End of the World ", It's a old journal.

I haven't heard of that. I do remember people freaking out over 2000 though. But for me it was one of my best years

Amazing yet... tragic. The disaster in this is anything but avoidable. And again with the amazing masterpieces from you? You certainly, definitely have talent, and no less than that.

It's one of those horrible things that you know you just can't get out of. It gives a sinking feeling, which is quite fitting to the piece really

Oh definitly! No doubt about that. If I knew and/or thought my planet would be horrifically destroyed by some sort of incoming celestial body, i'd feel helpless too.

It would have to hit quickly. I don't think it would take very many orbits for it to be torn apart by the difference in the planet's gravity at different points along the satellite.

That's a good point

You're amazing ^^ I love your pictures so much.

HI CAN I PLEASE USE THIS PIC ON MT HOMEWORK I REALL NEED IT

Sorry, I don't give free images for stuff like that
Though a homework assignment that would require an image of an oncoming meteor impact sounds pretty cool

Majoras Mask much?
Lol XD
I never knew that the moon came closer each and every year..
And possibly giving off a Cataclysm.
THANKS FOR CHEERING ME UP.

It dosn't...Ours is moving further away, this isn't even our planet

I love the story. And my favorite part, is undoubtedly that lightning of static between the 2 masses. sucks to be on that planet!

I wasn't a fan of apocalyptic art, but this is a sad beauty. A paradise is about to become a hell. Makes me feel sorry for this rare jewel.

Yeah, would be a shame if it happened after life evolved on the planet, considering how ridiculously long it takes to evolve...by the time it makes a comeback (if ever) the Sun would probably be on its death bed anyway

Yeah. We should count ourselves lucky we haven't lost our hand yet.

Not if Hollywood's ways of getting characters out of certain death has anything to do with it

so you've read some of the 'new jedi order/yuuzhan vong invasion' books?

cuz my comment was about the fact that chewbacca got crushed by a moon impacting it's planet (actually torn apart by conflicting gravitational forces, really)

Wow, I can't believe they'd kill off a main and beloved character like that

Thanks.And I thought that every time you can get your money. can you handle a little as explained to conveniently register? There are 3 categories.CREDIT CARD, DEVIANT DOLLARS and PEYPAL.

I'm not sure if I understand. Maybe try looking at the help and FAQ section, they mention everything

Thank you very much. I don't know english very well, but I hope you understand me.

It's very kind of you, that you answer to my questions.means if you sell your work on $ 50, you get 30%? And how do you know that your work bought? You can see in the site, or just the money will be send to your credit card? Are you satisfied? Sell your work?

If someone buys a print, you get a message saying they did and how much you get, but it dosn't tell you who bought it. Every 3 months deviantART allows people to withdraw their earnings, unless it's lower than $20, then it's carried over to the next quarter-year until one has enough to take. I have mine sent to PayPal

Oh whao. Beautiful but that faking scares me! I adore this concept though ! D: But I think you forgot the effects that the gravitational pull should have on the water ~
That whole part of the planet should be flooded or something, no?
