Description
Got an idea for this one today when our power went out due to severe weather. (It's always amazing how fast your day changes without electricity.) Obviously I couldn't work on it then but I was able to get something pretty close to what I had envisioned at the time so I'm happy.
As always comments and constructive criticism are welcome - even though this was a fairly quick and simple image I'm always looking to improve!
Made in Photoshop - time spent was roughly 3 hours.
Enjoy!

Nice work, I especially like how you've lit the smaller planet. I know volumetric lighting is a pain in the ass.

This piece is pure awesome. I love this one. I wish you can make it as a wallpaper. I would definitely put this as my desktop back on my MacBook. Could you please? The resolution would be 1280 x 800.

Great piece, the lighting is amazing and composition is very well executed. I personally think it's a little "empty", if you know what I mean, but maybe that "isolated" effect was what you're actually aiming for.

I appreciate the comments - I wanted to have a lot of empty space in there to give it more depth so I'm glad that's how it came across. Thanks for stopping by!

I really like this; I like the aquatic feel and how the eclipsed nebula looks a bit like an eye. Have a

Very nice, Im digging it, the planet on the right (infront of the light) just seems a little plain, and draws my eyes to it, which isnt really a bad thing, but just kinda stands out. Goodjob.

Wow, great job! It's always amazing what one can do with Photoshop. I've been wondering, though- how do you make the rays of light?
