Land of light

I was bored so I did something that I haven't done for a looooong time... space art!

wow that's great.
i really like how u did the lighting.:O

Really nice there. Lighting is great. I just think maybe the first planet darken it a little bit. ?

Thats awesome! AI just wish the space dust light thingy flame was a bit thinner at the bottom, i really love the look of it at the top.

awesome.
love little planets around the big one :)

amazing. i think you should lower the opacity or smudge the "shadow" or w/e it is at the bottom planet. it looks awsome at the little planets on the top though.

that red-to-yellow gradient on the bottom (from left to right) looks awsome.

Space art is definitely my favourite kind of digital art. The lighting on some of the planets is amazing and that huge golden cloud really adds to the space theme. Love it! :D

By the way: What font did you use, I like what it looks with a glow around it?

Thanks guys. And also thanks for the criticism. :) You know I don't normally do these kinds of images anymore so I'm not very good at it!

The font is Usuzi.

Saweet :)

really cool.

are shadows like that on the lower right really possible though? i would think the flame/light is so immersive that there wouldn't be a large enough difference to make a discernible shadow, but maybe i am wrong. shadows like that imply something like a spotlight shining from below.

still really cool though. and here i thought you were purely a photographer.
