Description
My attempt to increase the realism of my terraformed Venus image. How'd I do?Related content

Looks really great man. But why are the clouds so "weird"? Your mars and earth had more normal looking clouds

Atmospheric super rotation. My image assumes the planet's rotation was not sped up. Also look at my Moon image.

Thanks for the explanation. Keep up with those amazing planets

I wanted the image to the left side illuminated.

I could get you such an image, but my time is limited at the moment so I'd probably have to charge for alterations.

I love to see in a realistic way jonathanmazzini.deviantart.com…

That would take quite a while to complete and I don't have time, but I may do that some day, it looks pretty interesting.

Pretty slick man

Thanks, what's your project all about?

My project is about Terraforming as many planets and moons in our solar system, what it would be like to see, feel and live in such a time, to bring advancement and a drive for the people who view it or mearly admire the possibilities or just the art of it itself

Well I'm going to do a terraformed Mercury once MESSENGER maps it. Unfortunately all the terraformable worlds beyond Mars if terraformed would be water worlds with no land.

Sweeet, but hopefully that ain't the case of All moons and planets beyond mars lol - I heard of a way to boost the cores of planets and moons to increase rotation (If needed), gravity and even magnetic fields so maybe that will be a grand experiment. Somehow getting to the core and through nuclear fission or even explosions like the ones in that movie 'The Core' lol, Which ever way works i'd be happy with anyway

By worlds I mean the moons for the most part. They are mostly water ice, so if they warmed up they would have oceans hundreds of miles deep. With the exception of Jupiter's moon Io, it's rocky.

Thanks for the general idea man

Looks really good. The only thing I'd recommend is some more variation in terrain color. Some browns.

Venus' terrain is very flat. So it would probably be mostly forested. The moon would be the same way. The only one I think would show lots of variation is Mars. Even though it has an atmosphere 3 times taller (assuming a 1 bar atmosphere) than Earth's, the tharsis region is still high enough at block moisture and change weather patterns. Also the slow rotation creates one, maybe two, Hadley cells so the moisture would be more evenly distributed on the moon and Venus. Mars would probably have at least two Hadley cells maybe even Ferrel cells. So the moisture would mostly be cut off in the southern hemisphere of Mars (which would be mostly land) creating a vast desert. The one unique thing Venus has are polar collars due to the super-rotation of the atmosphere, which cuts the warm air off from the high polar regions. The moon probably wouldn't have these due to it's small size (Titan doesn't seem to, but it's a super-rotator). Sorry for my lengthy explanation

No - that's cool. Good to hear your reasoning. There are a lot of theories about balanced ecosystems as well. Having a variety of different types which balance each other. Guess that's always lurking in the back of my mind when making terrestrial type planets.

What do you mean, like balanced with desert/jungle/tundra/ect...? Could be possible to engineer Venus that way with a thin enough atmosphere I guess. What the world would look like in the end would highly depend on how terraform it. I prefer to depict terraformed worlds with ideal 1 bar atmospheres and 50% water coverage. Some worlds like the moon I think could not be balanced due to it's small size, slow rotation and extremely deep atmosphere. It'd basically be a jungle world.
