Description Well I'm finally done!!! But I'll let you be the judge.

Wallpapers are on the way.

Edit 01: Well I decided to change the terrain to give it a more open feel. An thanks to the suggestion of Mr. Bond I have added some more detail to the rings via the noise and texture filter.

Edit 02: Sharpened the planet/moon on the advice of Fusionlight and did some minor color adjustments.

"...Simple 'planet and star' pieces are rapidly becoming the height of cliche...the challenge is out for YOU to break the mold and create the next unique and truly inspiring work of celestial art." -Greg Martin

I just wanted to add this in the description because I know that some have problems with the rings but I am just trying to inovate in the spirit of Greg's challenge to those who have taken on clestial art.

But if you have time to read them, you will not regret.

The perspective looks weird on the two rings... makes it look friggin HUGE.

What programs did you use to make this?

wildwildLizzy [2005-02-26 22:42:27 +0000 UTC]

I'm stunned into silence. (rejoice...it's rare) All the brilliance at the centre of the rings drew my attention and then as my eyes scanned downward over the picture...my elation turned into sobering reality. The colours you used as well as the desolate appearance of the surface just moved me. what a totally emotional and technical rendering you've created. I just can't get my eyes off it. I have to :+fave: it !!! Totally awe inspiring work!
