Description
Gunmetal...Just more practice until I feel I am ready to try out for Terraspace. =edlo told me that, although I am not ready for terraspace, if I put some more time into my work i could be. So I spent about four days on this.
Anyways, feels good to finally have some good inspiration going again, after the July-block...
As I said, this description was subject to change...
I am constantly growing more and more fond of Gunmetal. I believe that it is a good example of my terragen work, and I spent a lot of time making the planet... OK, that's all I wanted to add
So, I am checking Advanced Critique Encouraged...
When you select this option, you are indicating to deviants browsing your work that you openly invite all manner of advanced critique on your deviation. >>This is especially useful if you are actively working on improvements for a work of art.<<
Ok? Advanced Critique doesn't mean "I want to hear you whine on every little thing wrong with this picture." I don't want a paragraph long comment that explains every little detail, in detail, of this image. I am pleased with it, and I want to know what I might be able to improve on if you think it needs touching up.
Enjoy, comments and favorites are much appreciated, as always.

I like the colour of the piece. The general atmosphere. I know how complicated Terragen can be, so this is really nice work. The planet doesn't seem to be 100% though. It doesn't feel quite right. I'm not entuirely sure what it needs. I think either it needs to be less visible, maybe a little smaller OR alternatively, show more stars (i.e. thinner atmosphere).
But generally very, very nice!

made this one almost 6 months ago, so yes, this was definitely an example of inexperience

to back up the scale part, your picture looks astounding in preview view, its only in the full view you can pick out the pixelation

this is pretty cool... the texture you used for the closest mountain is pretty sharp and pixeli... as well as the planet... I think what you just need to do is scale this down, or make your pictures bigger than you want then scale them down or else it..
anyway, its pretty good, the water and the far mountain looks amazing, but then the mountain close to you looks to much like it was computer generated...

I wanted to let you know this piece looks awesome. I have not used terragen, I use Bryce myself but this really does
look great. I would not change a thing personally. I think the large planet looks damn good and I like how much detail
you can see of the planet. If you don't mind I am going to put this pic as a fav and good luck with future pictures.

Much appreciated, good luck with Bryce

It's meant to look like its through the atmosphere... not supposed to be the sharpest texture in the world. Anyways, thanks for the comments... I will keep them in mind when I make my next piece.

Great! It looks serene but at the same time alarming. I wonder if they are going to collide 
Anyway, about the advanced cirtique. Mmmh... I don't know much about space scenarios, so don't take me seriously: the planet looks cool and all that, but don't you think that the atmosphere should cover most of the image? I mean, remember the moon on the morning, it is blue for the sky effect, only on night we can see it on its full splendor.
What I'm trying to say, its that far away objects should probably have a fainter atmosphere (hope that's the correct word), It would be interesting for example, that the planets would be barely visible, make the viewer wonder what its wrong with the image till they discover that its a f....king big planet what's eclipsing the sun!
Heh, heh... well, its just a suggestion. Guess it all depends on the artist style. Anyhow, good work!

True, realistically speaking... but if you are like me, you enjoy your artistic license... Usually the space art I create is more artsy than real. But, you are definitely right... Maybe we are on the moon of a giant planet, and we just see this... that's why they are so close. Thanks for the comments, much appreciated! I will keep the scientifically correct ideas when I create my next piece, which will be a while though... school and all. Anyways, thanks for commenting!
