A dark planet orbiting a star that has already gone Supernova, the heat and pressure from its parent star's violent death has melted and transformed the surface into a black, shiny glass-like rock called Obsidian, of which gives off a bright shine when the white dwarf sun reflects upon its new facade. Large cracks wrap around the planet's surface, and many meteors and small moons orbit around it, most of which were blasted away from the planet itself...Now, a cold and eerie calmess fills the void left behind by a destroyed planetary system.

My submission to the "dark planet" theme that the newly formed :icongalaxyclub: has going. I tried some new things here which I think came out well, but perhaps only for this type of scene, either way, I had lots of free time in the past few days, most of which were spent doing this, so I was able to get it up pretty soon after my last space scene. Enjoy !

Thanks. Most people complain about that. But the way I see it - if the artwork is good enough people will ignore that stuff anyway =p

Skill maybe, but a shitload of practice is what brought it out ;)

It's a great pic, really, but the astronomer in me is screaming "no planet can survive if its sun goes supernova, wich by the way doesnt leave behind a white dwarf but a neutron star, a pulsar or a black hole, but a red giant evaporing into a planetary nebula and a white dwarf could have done the job"
Sorry for the bother and again awesome pic :D

Really? damn, either the facts I read (granted they from ages ago) were written wrong or I just got mixed up :oops:

I think that wa sthe vision I originally had, I should have said just a regular nova rather than a supernova. I guess I get swept up in supernova's because they're more popular :XD:
