Description
Originally released in December 2004.Here ya go Sam.
Luminance was again a speedy work. Only around an hour and a half or so from start to finish. I thought about the angle and an obstructed light source and decided to tinker a bit. A planetoid in the foreground with a sibling or moon in the middle ground circumventing the light from the source in an almost ecliptic way. I focused on lighting here and so the planet surface textures took a back seat to implementing the ideal much like The Ancients but way more refined. In the end I accomplished what I wanted. I'm pleased with the result.

You said that the details on the planets were second to the lighting in this one. Thats what caught my attention, sometimes the texturing on planets can be too sharp and overdone, but this actually looks more realistic due to more subtle details...Ever seen photo's of terrestrial planets like Mercury or Mars, and how they look kinda plain from a distance ?

This by far is my favorite piece from you. The way the sun creates a bloom effect with the moon is amazing. Im still trying to achieve this effect. Beautiful.
