Brilliance of lightby `priteeboy

Digital Art / 3-Dimensional Art / Scenes / Spacescapes

This was created for Desktopography 2009 - a collaborative wallpaper project, his year's pack launched only the day before I submitted this, so check it out while it's still fresh [link] The theme was "Nature" and both a standard screen and widescreen wallpaper of this is available among many other great backgrounds. However this vertical version is what I consider to be the original

It was also an experiment on using Vue's "Godrays" feature, a powerful tool good for simulating bursts of light through dark skies, I couldn't fully grasp how to make good distinctive ones until watching =nukeation's video tutorial on it. So props to him too

What I wanted to make here is something that has been a reasonably popular category of digital art for a long time now called "Terraspace" - where a 3D landscape (often made in Terragen, but as I showed - Vue works fine too) would then be combined with a celestial sky to make a nice looking scene...But the disappoining fact is the few artists that could do this stuff well have been dead for along time here, Good Terraspace art is hard to find these days on dA, given how the artists were much more productive only a few years ago...So this is mine, making up for the lack of others. No special concept or attempt to be original here. Just carrying the dead weight of former Terraspace artists

Created in Vue 7 and Photoshop, as usual

You have some really impressive visions with your planetary art pieces... Excellent use of lighting and unique scenes that set you way apart from so many other planetary scenes I've seen.

Thanks for the compliment

Yes, the genre of space-based artwork is surprisingly common here, so I make as much effort as I can to keep mine unique from the many others people are creating here. Sometimes that means sacrificing realism, but I prefer art that looks interesting more than realistic

*LordCorvell Jun 25, 2012

I think you keep yours realistic, if not necessarily grounded. Does that make sense? Yours has an artsy feel to it, which I guess could be called fantasy, but you cna see things in nature that look just as startlingly impressive.

i can just imagine our world like this it would be an amazing sight every time you walk out your door i love this pic you did
great on it hope you make more soon im not the digital kind of person i do more of wild animals i don't see much talent i my category but when i say yours is good you best belive it

`priteeboy Nov 28, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Thanks! Sometimes I like to imagine what the sky would be look with some nearby worlds up there - much more interesting

There's good quality art in both digital and traditional, sometimes lesser-drawn stuff needs to be searched for harder though, but there's a good artist to be found for everything here

You must have a beautiful mind to create art like this. I could look at your space art all day. The nebula at the top left is my favorite part of this one.

`priteeboy Jul 31, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Thanks! I do have a ot of imagination when it comes to scene ideas

The nebula I think is still one of my best, I must admit it was partially a fortunate accident since I've had trouble trying to create another one like it since

*starwitchstone Aug 2, 2011

Well hopefully it'll come back to you. I'd love to see more like this.
