Description
Tritium is a byproduct of a fission reaction, the type of which has been happening on this planet for years as a result of the magnetic core reacting with the abundance of hydrogen in the atmosphere and the Uranium on the surface.The planet surfaces are scarred with the Tritium erosions.
You wouldn't last long here.
Enjoy the piece, I worked my ass off on the textures. It's all bump mapped.
To make this texture, i grouped about 40 different textures together into a canvas about 9000x9000px large. I then carefully erased and mixed the edges until the entire canvas was evenly mixed. That part took a couple days. I then scaled the piece into the first planet onto a 2000x3000px canvas, which was then added into a different canvas with the larger planet in the background. Yes, that is supposed to be a massive planet in the background
. It's not meant show its edges on the canvas.This will definitely be submitted to Prints, once I get the 2000x3000 version uploaded.
Enjoy for now.

I love this one, I think It's one of your best! It's so....can find my words...I would give anything to be able to see such an event!
I'm kinda hypnotized by this!

I think the bg is fine. And if you don't want to spherise the piece, maybe you should add a brushed-on vignette-like effect to the left side of the giant panet, maybe to make it look a bit more 'roundish'.
Actually, foget this. This is awesome.

Tritium is an isotope of hydrogen. I've never seen solid hydrogen.
This piece is brillaint, aside from that.

exactly right
We are learning about nuclear reactions in chemistry right now, so I thought it fitting to name this piece accordingly
And thank you for the comment and fav ^^

i like this. i figur it's a big planet in the background? that's an interesting concept, even though i think you could have achieved a little more compositionwise. the shadow is a little too dark imo, yet it's not that it really disturbes me. but you need to work a little on getting the layers on the edge of the planet right. i can see some overlapping there.
keep going in this direction. nice texture btw

yep, giant planet in the background.
Will work on the minor details

Amazing work on the textures, that's really impressive!
At first I thought the background was meant to be a nebula, but I can also imagine it a planet.
It looks awesome, in any case.

I kinda agree with Akajork, but it's still a really nicely worked planet, and the colours of the background just work so well I think, maybe soften up the background textures a little? But what would I know, my space 'art' stuff is stuck in an infantile state

the background is meant to be a planet

Yeah I just noticed that after I wrote my comment
But if that's the case it must be quite a bit bigger, so it just seems to me the lighting/shadows seem a little off... But that's just me

hey man! Well sorry you didnt make it but great to see you are willing to work for it
anyways my C&C:
if this is ment to be spaceart then that is very unlcear for me.. I mean, there is no space. Your use of color is quite unique and stands out from the rest but you take it a little bit too far. There arent enough dark colors for me to actually make it space. Also there are no stars or something like it! So use more dark colors to create more space like envoirment. Then the textures are a nice job but it makes the whole piece very very flat. Ive never seen a space pic with a bg that consists of a texture. This isnt a nebula but just a texture.. that makes it look like its a planet painted on a piece of stone. So tone down the texture!
well hope it helped a bit

the background texture is meant to be a huge planet that covers the entire canvas

totally missed that part in your description.. sorry for that.. but the fact that I didnt see that is maybe also a pointer.. cause I just didnt realize that was a planet!

how could I improve it to look like a planet?
I tried spherizing, but that just RUINS the texture.

This is simply amazing hun. I always love to see when ya have been hard at work. Very good job on this, the textures are amazing.
