Description Hi there,

After some time finally a new terraspace piece. A collab between and me
It took some time for me to finish this one but the base was exelent to work on. Great detail and a good surfacemap, all combined in terragen made this 6000x3000 pixel render a good piece and with the additions i made i think it looks even better. I want to thank =environaut for his patience once more. It took quite some time for me to finish this.

We are also making this one a print so for anyone that wants this on his/her wall just click this [link]

So now all head over to give =environaut a watch and please do leave a comment as well on his submission of this piece [link]

As always comments and favs are appreciated.

Now Im certain you like exploding things
The perspective of the planets is pure mastery, so is the terrain in first plane - great details

Yeow, the nebula really sets the mood for the piece with the vivid purple and pink colours. The rockblast and the dust trails really add a nice touch. Amazing work. This is what inspires me to try more terraspace
As for critique, I think I'm repeating someone, but I would've liked to see a curve to the meteorite trail, a slight parabolic would do . The little man also doesn't seem to be congruent with the rest of the pic.
Once again, amazing job

Cheers

I hope you read this comment. Or maybe you won't, I don't give a shit. Either way, I feel for you. People have come from across the website to take a look at the blood, sweat, and tears that you put into this, there is a ton of hardwork in this and it really shows. What pisses me off is that the same people who came across Deviantart to look at it have the balls to criticise such fantastic work. Maybe they don't like it all, but that doesn't make it their place to say, "Hey, you really ruined it with the person in the corner," or , "Hey, good work but I don't like the terrain or the dust clouds from the impact." That is totally bull. I would like to see them make something this good. Sorry if I seem a bit rude and vulgar, but it just makes me mad when people do stuff like that, it totally ruins the thrill for the author of working on such a great piece of artwork.

If you want my personal opinion, I think the entire image is absolutely spectacular. The one part that is really amazing is where the dust fragments have touched down and made their own explosions, how did you do that??

Anyways, phenomenal artwork.

Thanks for reading,

Scott

The fragments are pure brushing, some time went into getting those right. Tnx for the comment, although i think that good constructive critisism can help improve art. Ofcourse you can't satisfy everyone but some feedback is welcome from time to time. tnx again

I definately like this piece.

The nebula and the detail of the terragen stand out to me overall.

The one thing I don't like about this is that the meteorite trail is straight. It would seem to me that it would be at least curved a bit. I dunno, it just seems funny to me.

Awesome job.

stickersticker [2005-07-23 18:59:57 +0000 UTC]

Terrain looks AMAZING! i LOVE the detail, i love how the lighting works on it. I wish though, that there was more of a light source in the sky, and maybe that the sky wasn't so empty. It would really compliment the busy landscape, if you had a busy space.

however, i do see why maybe you wanted an empty feeling in the sky, to promote kind of a lonely look to the piece, like the feeling that you're in the middle of nowhere, where an asteroid slams into a planet and theres really nothing you can do about it... kind of a lost and foriegn feeling. I like it.

DKF In reply to Novacron [2005-07-22 06:17:56 +0000 UTC]

tnx, most people don't really notice it but it is an important part of each piece you make. It's how you present it. Without border and title it wouldn't look that good at all. It finishes the piece so putting some effort in it isn't bad at all

Personally i dont care about lighting or whatever, fantastic parts to this piece. The nebulae works nicely, nice use of duplicating..and also has great depth. The small rocks coming of the impact are FANTASTIC...the thing that does bother me, however, is the meteor trail - jsut seems lacking compared to the rest of the piece.

Only other things i could suggest, would be to make it more dynamic...hmm maybe not sure.

Still, great work here

Eclipse-CJ3 [2005-07-21 22:24:14 +0000 UTC]

Awesome work, glad to see something new. Awesome impact.
But one thing bothers me, the lighting from the nebulae doesn't match with the landscape. =\ Anyway...

I'm not overly fond of the foreground tbh. it's a very lovely backdrop, but the foreground just doesn't do it justice imho

X2thaK [2005-07-21 19:35:14 +0000 UTC]

I dont like the comet/asteroid/whatever tail, it's way to long and to strong considering the asteroid/comet/whatever has already impacted the planet.

other then that, looks great.
