I'm experimenting with some techniques to make believable yet imaginary spacescapes.
This is an attempt to simulate a planet with a moon. I made this in Gimp.

Any comments and suggestions, and especially constructive criticisms are most welcome.

dude, that is awesome.
I made another one. Wanted to see if I could do an "M class" planet. I formatted this one to be wall paper for a wide-screen monitor.

ooooo. so pretty! And cool. I just love purple.
Very, very nice. :)
I really like your artwork. Do have any more? If so, please show a few more.
Thanks.
P.S. I especially like the shadowing of the planet on the first picture. Is that an example of phong shading? I'm not sure if I have that term correct.
Nice job! Love this kind of stuff.
I will gladly post more! Thanks for the comments. If you have a thought of something you'd like let me know.
And yes, technically that would be phong shading, except that in this case its' drawn, not rendered.
i had no idea you had artistic talent, dadand. nice! I'd like to see some pics with space junk and asteroids... like pieces of a Bird of Prey. I love the clean look, though, for aesthetic "no dirty humans here" value.
