Description
This is another space scene that I did that was influenced by some of alyn's work. Also, thanks to alyn for some of the terragen resources used.I think I'm getting better at this whole thing. Terragen adds a bit more touch to the whole picture. Anyways, give me some tips! I want to make it better!

I like the way the light picks up the smallest hints of a valley, but make it feel like it is immense.
Good work, im a big fan of greyscale pics, looks cool!

Taking into consideration the time period
in which you have been doing space art,
and what skill level is expect for someone
that has done space-art for that period of
time.. well... simply:: This is amazing..
I'll start though with what can be improved,
and suggestions of a possible way to do
these improvements.
Terragen Render:> The problem?
It's a fair bit on the blurry side. One of the
reasons why I can think it is blurry is because
you made it blurry as you tried to blend the
space with the render. Solution? When you
render the piece, deselect the 'Sky' option.
This'll render only the land now, and the sky
will be black. In Photoshop to get rid of the
black, select the Magic Eraser tool and
Set the tolerance to '0' (zero). Click on the
black area, and it is gone. If you want a part
of the sky though, after you have rendered the
land, reselect the 'Sky', and deselect the 'Land'.
Spacecraft Trail-Blaze:> Not really a big
problem. The one trail-blaze that is over the
planet/moon looks odd. It just looks like a screw-
up in the planet/moon texture or something. Easy
solutions:: Either remove the trail completely, or
perhaps a better solution (because have a trail-blaze
over the planet is a good idea) would be to add a
visible spacecraft to the front of it.
One more this:> I actually can't remember
for the life of me what the other thing was. If it
comes back to me I'll state it later. But let us get
to the good stuff.
:>Mmm, Black and white. Love it. It looks real
sauve.
:>The render is done well (except for the blur). The
point of view on the mountain ranges and such are
nice.
:>The small amount of atmosphere is the center of
the render looks great, and is diffenately a feature
that helps this piece a fait bit.
:>
it could be, but from what I'd expect to see from you
(judging on time), it is really awesome.
:>Nice lil' planets in the top-right. Gives some nice
character to this piece.
:>Not a bad starfield. But again, from where I'd expect
you to be at you are way ahead.
:>The text. That is done real well. Generally people
avoid placing text straight on their works because unless
it is amazing, it'll ruin the piece, and if it is too 'amazing'
it takes the attention of the veiwer away from the actual
piece. But your text just is nice and simple, not too intruding,
yet professional and just complements the piece.
So again, this is a great piece, and I am impressed. I
look very much forward to seeing future pieces, and perhaps
I will add you to my watch list eventually.
Keep up the great work. :- D

I love it DE!
Battletech mind speaking here, but are those things dropships taking off?
One thing for possible improvement, the cloud should come a bit more infront of the larger moon/planet.

This is really fantatic
I feel all it needs is a little more colour, maybe just in one area to warm it up a little
