Description

It was inevitable that these two planets would collide. With orbital paths so similar, it was only a matter of time before the larger of the planets tore the smaller from its stellar course, signaling their mutual demise.

This one took fifteen hours or so in photoshop. It was lots of fun to do!

Welcome back Bougal,

Wow, this is fantastic work! Great concept and it is obvious you but a lot of work into this.
The texture of the planet surface is amazingly detailed.

My only gripes would be that the clouds in the top left corner look a little flat in comparison to the detail of the planet surface. I think also that the shockwaves look a little too smooth and look a little more "painted" or cartoony look than the rest of the pretty much photorealistic piece. Do you know what I mean?

These are just minor details though. Overall I think this is a fantastic piece of work and better than the average space scene.

Very well done! :)

there is something about space peices that i love. youve handleed the subject matter exellently. the warm and cool tones youve used really push and pull each other. one thing that bothers my eye a bit is the composition. i would realy like to see around the big planet. i realize you were most likely trying to show a close up of the collision but by attacting the planet to the corner you loss the free standing weight that you have with the other planet and moon. great working looking forward to more. - matt

i love the detail. it looks realistic. the soft glow of earth's atmosphere and the colours, clouds, continents. you did a really good job. but my eyes keep wandering to the moon and down further. but then it ends! :( good job

Love this one! Dramatic contrast and very good level of details. The compostion is also pleasing. Maybe slight blueish glow on the biggest planet could create even more atmosphere to your great image? Btw.You seem to like Greg Martin's works?

I do like Greg Martin's works. Of course, I would never try to copy them; I try to be unique.

I love the surface and its details.

However the the clouds dont seem to fit into the composition, they dont have the same amount of detail and they look flat. Also, the smaller moon is too close to the planet, there is something called the "Roche's sphere" which means that if a moon is too close to the planet, it will be ripped apart by gravitational forces.

Finally, i would add some cracks on the surface of the planet too.

The star field is well done,

5/7

I love this piece, it's awesome, but the few things I don't really like is that the clouds at the top part are a bit too... too white, they're too compact, lacking a bit of flowing edges if you get what I mean.

Also the impact is a bit too round for my liking, it looks awesome, but not realistic in my eyes. Should've been a bit more blurred/dusty.

But, like I said, I love this part, the debris looks awesome, the planet textures are incredible, and your stars look really nice ;)

7/7

The planettexture of the big planet is very realistic and beautiful, but the clouds dont fit to the ground surface of the planet. They look a bit more spherized than the ground surface. And on the medium large planet the shadow side of the planet is too dark. I think when the large planet is that bright on this side, the smaller planet should be much brighter. Although, nice composition.

very nice job, my only grips is that the lightsource on the small collision planet is partially incorrect... isnt there also a lightsource behind it, the same one that is lighting the other planets?
