Planet

well with my PC messed up and me not able to use any of my 3D tools, I thought I'd venture into 2D for a bit

this was done entirely in photoshop over the last 2 or 3 days, I don't have a tablet but the mouse worked well enough for this - there wasn't many complex brush strokes to deal with

the full image is 8x as big (which should be A3 at 600ppi if I worked it out correct), it was a bit of a pain working at that resolution, I guess I need more ram

crits welcom (but I'm not changing anything )

That is freaking beautiful. If you could correct the error with the stars showing through the dark said of the planet, I would fricking header that.

2d art is treated as a bastard child in 3D forums.
There are cultures on this planet that are just plain not ready for advanced technologies like explosives and automatic guns

Shush- this is a post-pity planet, and as you can see it's a shadow of its former self.

Nice work Davros- slight pity about the stars, should be fixable though.

I thought that was dust and rocks around the planet rather than stars, looks great.

My only niggle is that from the angle they appear to be at, you would think the moons would be in the planets shadow and not have any crescents from the sun on them.

I would have loved to have seen the various stages in this images creation.

correct, I was hoping the shadows from the planets would give that away

It probably looks like stars because there isn't an obvious dark underside to the planet. Perhaps if you made a clearer delineation between the planet and the background then it would improve the effect - simply extening the visible edge a centimetre or so lower than it currently is may be enough. It's very nice as it is though mate
