Impact


The concept art is amazing. It looks exactly like the Milky Way as much as we can't see from up top.I've always looked up to astronomy and facts about the universe.
The dark nebula clouds spinning from the outer arms, to the supermassive black hole in the galactic center is so well done to the picture because if were to gaze at Milky Way right now, you can't really see the galactic center because it is blocked by the dark clouds and extra stars behind.
It seems that you have every arm that is part of the galaxy especially the Orion Arm
which is where our solar system is located.
This is one of the most amazing concepts of space I've ever seen.How this galaxy is designed is outstanding and it deserves my credit and all who love to learn about galaxies, superclusters, and the Universe in general.Who ever made this concept has my full gratitude and credit.e.deviantart.net/emoticons/c/cā€¦ " width="20" height="20" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="60" title="Clap"/>

Not at all bad! Keep adding texture to it and it'll look superb!

Very nice, reminds me of the whirlpool galaxy (now how did it ever get that name ) The colour choice is very natural, my only critique is that it does feel "airbrushed" still, I think maybe once you get more involved with textures and the "grittiness" even space has sometimes that won't be much of an issue anymore

SolarArchitect In reply to Chromattix [2011-09-05 05:51:23 +0000 UTC]

Thank you!

...and yeah, it doesnt feel very natural thats why its still a WIP. I would like to work on it a lot more, It needs more randomness I think. But first I need a new PC!!!!! Grrrrr

thats us there in the lower insignifact left arm of the milkyway and we are about to make way for a vogon express way
or at least shunted aside if we log ina complaint form in triplicate in time that si to say 46 years before the actual construction commences other wise its our own outlook and we just have to move
planet or no planet

the mice wil be pissed

Nice very realistic. Blended and lit well. However the Milky Way is a barred spiral... [link] Still a VERY awesome galaxy though! Great work!!!
