Photon

Okay, so, about this image:

In a seriously short space of time, this image has gone from being one thing to another.

requested a wallpaper for her recently formatted computer with orange/blue colouration, so I made a simple planet sphere with two seperate light sources as nothing more than a practice for making her piece. Now I know the whole dual nebula dual colour on planet thing is a bit overdone and cliché, but at the time, this was nothing more than a warmup exercise that became something else.

But then, under advice from I became intoxicated with Alcohol and found myself coming up with a new way of making nebulas, which quickly found themselves merged with the image. A spiffy planet was added, and voila, Photon!

So here is my latest deviation! I hope you like it.

PS. It comes in 1280x1024 flavour too, but I won't post it unless people request it. Partly because I'm not sure many people still use that resolution, and secondly, because I don't know how to the whole wallpaper pack thing on dA works!

Edit:

Done a particularly hefty edit to this. Still not overly convinced on it, but I think I'm getting there now.

Altered the composition and lighting fall on the planet.

Altered the texture fall on the planet.

Altered the moon to look a bit more moon-like.

Brightened up the stars a little.


Any thoughts?
