Description Puh, ... I had no time for personal works lately.
A short break today resulted in to that mattepainting you see here.
I'll use it as projection matte in a 3d-animation I'm currently working on.
Since I only need the bottom part of the planet, I don't create the whole planet in 3d XD ...

5 hours Photoshop CS. My Wacom as usual
No Photoreferences used (ok, .. I've used a moon texture found via google for the moons)


Thanks for watching,
Critiques, suggestions and comments are always appreciated,

Very nice and moody.
The moon on the foreground has serious tectonic/volcanous or meteor problems!
To live there... could be challenging

Definately reminded me of Coruscant from Star Wars, but thats what's so breath taking about this piece. That someone can actually draw on a level with proffesional computer digitalization! Kudos to you good sir. ^^

It's totally amazing but... I must say that... it looks like Corusnat + Mustafr combo.
But that don't make it any less awesome.

I love the perspective and feeling of this... it's like I'm floating right in there, orbiting the planet. The city lights and the explosions on the red moon are excellent as well. And the rings! They look so delicate Mustmust

some really nice parts, like the mini impacts on the moon, but a lot of it feels fairly flat as opposed to 3d, most notably the right portion of the main planet. The clouds also seem as though they're springing out of the planets atmosphere a little. Not bad, but some things to work on.

you chose a difficult angle to work from, especially from a painting point of view. I do hope you try more space-themed pieces soon

This is beautiful, I especially like the home-planet
But I wanna talk bout physics - The big planet has probably huge gravity, I assume that this gravity is much stronger then moons grav. So the meteors should fall onto the planet, am I right ? People ? Specialists ?

Excellent use of light texturing, and the glowing streams of 'energy' or whateever, those are superb.
What techniques did you use to create the effects? (brushes, filters, etc.) I'd love to know if you're willing to share.
Once again, excellent piece.
