Marbellised Maelstromby `priteeboy

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / Space Art

Been wanting to do something like this since late last year but kept putting it aside in favour of more complex stuff. But since I'm in a bit of a rut and I also havn't submitted any space art since new years, I thought I'd do it anyway during a dull moment

for those who may not know what's going on in a seemingly abstract artwork - here we have the swirling colourful storm clouds of a huge gas giant planet filling up the background, with two moons dwarfed by the size of the background planet, the larger of which is losing a battle against the immense stresses of gravity induced by the gas giant and crumbles away on its slow descent into its giant parent.

This one was pretty quick compared to my usual actually, prior practice with making gas giants meant I knew what I was doing all the way through and it took only a few hours, which is probably the shortest time I've spent on a "proper" work in a few years

but I figured this was better with minimalistic content but with nice detail so there really wasn't much more I wanted to add

How come I can't download this? In the details of the picture it says the resolution is 1742x950, but the fullview is only like 900x500 or sumthin

I normally upload artwork a bit larger than the intended full size. The real work is higher resolution again. Unfortunately people aren't taking a hint when it comes to not using my work for their own profitable gain so I had to counter that by making the view resolution too small to make anything worthwhile out of

Doesn't dAs compression tool cut away details for you? Wouldn't it be better to downsize to the viewing size directly before uploading?

It does, but not to a really significant level, I half the image size before uploading (keeping the full size version to myself) and sharpen it...Then I upload it here and decide what view size I should have it. I don't why I chose this method but it's hard to break

Jupiter has always been my favorite planet because of the immense scale and sheer beauty of the cloud cover. HOLY S**T. This is simply amazing. I saw it and instantly went for the fav button. I could sit and stare at this forever~ The detail in the storms and the color is so natural, I almost thought it was a photograph.

I remember when I was younger, Uranus was my favourite because of its aqua colour...but in regards to details though Uranus is a very plain looking planet and Jupiter eventually took over it since even though its colour is less unusual, the formations in its clouds more than make up for it. But like an artwork I think it would look better from a distance than right up to it

Thanks for the comment!
