Description
My last-minute rush for Christmas this year wasn't spent dodging angry crowds at the shopping centre (I'm not that dumb
) But getting my annual Christmas artwork done and ready for upload before the holiday was over. Even if it meant staying up late enough on Christmas Eve to hear sleigh bells from those drunken partiers down the road 
Anyway, I think the reference to Christmas is more in the title than the artwork itself. But you can see where I'm coming from. Plus It was fun doing something gold and glittery, unique among the mostly "blue" Christmas submissions I've done in the past

the rings are so cool with their golden color, imagine the amount of asteroids as you get closer to the rings, also have you throught of a possibility of odd life existing in planetary rings?, i suppose there could be a ringed hive mind of sentient odd-shaped asteroids that communicate via electromagnetic waves, radio, plasma, and other unknown methods.

Life on an asteroid ring sounds like a bit of a stretch to me, with no air, water, warmth or protection from radiation. It would be cool though, but I wouldn't count on it, especially due to the often short-lived nature of rings (even Saturn hasn't had its ones forever, and won't have any again long before the solar system ends too, making us quite lucky to be around during the relatively short period of time it even has any)

life on asteroids or asteroid rings could be silicon-based so they may be able to protect themselves from radiation and could feed on cosmic rays of stars and "defecate" radioactive gases and may not even need water, and i suppose sentient weird-shaped asteroids could be in other universes with different physical laws.

Beautifull. I kinda feel sorry for planet (it was hit by something very big, right?).

There's something about how you do these that's incredibly captivating. I keep looking at them and i have no clue how you did these or what program you used to make them; makes it a big mystery to me i guess! What program do you use for these; i really want to know! Just giving my appreciation!

This one was done in Photoshop, as are most others. Sometimes I do use some 3D software though, but that wasn't needed here

Whoa....Β Β It's like I died, and went to space-heaven. Yay for beautiful, illustrious, golden rings. And as always, astonishing work. ;D

im not shure about the night side of the planet, but the rings, the colors, the mood, are amazing!

And yet the night side of the planet was about half of all the work involved
It was hard trying to get the lights to look brighter than real life, yet still feel somewhat realistic. It was harder still to create the effect of lights diffusing through the thinner clouds but being completely obscured by the thicker ones (if you were wondering what some of those dark areas of nothing were

Wallpaper use is OK. And yes, not as stereotypically Christmas-themed as my other ones from past years. But I've been meaning to do one like this for a really long time

Ah, I love glittery things. I particularly like space art that has lights on the dark side of the planet from the cities.
Merry Christmas, Matthew.

It's been a long time since I made a planet lit up by city lights. I thought it would be very fitting to the theme of this one

I wonder what your sci fi version of a partridge on a pear tree would be.
