After many hours of work. I've finished my planet.
I started working on this because A/ I've never tried space art
B/ None of my other work is ocming out right atm.
But i think i've found a new style ^.^

Original image size : 3000x3500

I worked on a large scale. Well it&#39;s large for colouring etc >.< The texture. IS NOT just one image copied onto the planet. I spent around a hour getting just the right patterns and tones on that. I&#39;ll show a seperate image of it - As 3/4 is covered by the planet&#39;s shadow.

This is Work In Progress. I&#39;ll use this planet (it&#39;ll be smaller obviously) in a scene.
Yesh i know about the bit of yellow on the left of the planet. I&#39;ll delete that before i do the big peice.

The lights are cities - I&#39;ll write a story or something to go with the big peice later on.

*fingers crossed that Crofty&#39;s art is liked*

I also need to sort out the lights. Because they look ilke they&#39;re hovering slightly. Floating city anyone? Maybe i&#39;ll spherize them or dim them latter on.

If it does not display. Right click, View Image.

The texure - ( still on planet. No atmosphere / shadows )
