You have been warned."Of Outward Comfort" Artist's Description: I decided to waltz a little bit out of my comfort zone and came up with this. Admittedly this was done a bit hastily while I was watching Enterprise. But I leaned over and showed it to my dad, and now he's using this as the startup screen on his little Acer. I was going to adjust some of the lighting and stars, but I guess now this version has sentimental value; this is the first time he specifically requested I give him one of my space art pieces
The planet texture was a new technique for me. I wanted to get a soft, almost gas planet kind of texture that didn't compete with the rest of the image. And I developed a new (or at least new to me) technique for lighting the planet without relying on blending options. So I think I was successful in my attempt to expand my horizons. Although next I'm planning to create a planet with more detail
