Description Here's my shot at the ongoing "Space Out" challenge. A space theme + widescreen format means I couldn't resist participating in the challenge even though the competetion is looking tough already.

My creation is a black sun which is perceivable only by its heat signature because it emits light in the infrared range that is not visible to the human eye. I tried to make the black sun appear extra fiery just like a regular sun but the biggest challenge was to make a dark object on dark space background work compositionwise. I hope you like the result.

Most of it was painted in Photoshop. The asteroids were rendered in Blender 2.8.

Good luck to everyone participating in this challenge! Thanks for stopping by.

Here's a mockup of a dual screen setup with my wallpaper and an animation of the creation process

The description invites the inevitable question: What on earth are those two intrepid space travellers on the right planning?

... and here I went out of my way to make sure the composition actually works well on two screens, while some of semis didn't even have the proper resolution.
Well I'm over it and I appreciate your comment a lot mate, thanks!

To see this work is necessary have a system anti-collision

to avoid the meteorites and of course visualize the image on a strong monitor to resist to some potential impact!

Cool work!! A dark object on a dark background.....it would be more fun to join the foreign legion   So only an oscar for this!

Oh wow, das is tight! Bin zwar kein Freund vom radial blur bei niedriger Quali aber der Rest schaut echt krass aus!


Versteh nicht so ganz, wie Du es nicht unter die Semis geschafft hast, ich hätte Geld auf Dich gesetzt.

ErikShoemaker In reply to BLPH [2019-10-11 18:51:34 +0000 UTC]

danke, dass du das sagst, kann ich nur zurückgeben. Bin ja nicht der einzige Space Artist der gesnubt worden ist... Es wäre der erste Contest bei dem alle mit dem Ergebnis zufrieden sind! Der Vorteil ist auf jeden Fall, dass ich mich nun nicht mehr verpflichtet fühle, das Bild in 8K zum Download anbieten zu müssen.
Ich bin selbst nicht so überzeugt von meiner Arbeit, von daher bin ich nicht großartig enttäuscht. Mich ärgert wieder mal nur, wenn ich mir anschaue was es vereinzelt reingeschafft hat und mir dann Fragen durch den Kopf gehen mit welcher Begründung die besser sein sollen. Glücklicherweise sind einige meiner Favoriten noch dabei und ich hoffe, dass die es in die Endauswahl schaffen.

THIS.
Ich denke, dass man wie immer auch neuen Usern eine Chance geben möchte, die man mit 12 Monate Core besser belohnen kann als beispielsweise mich, der sowieso schon Core hat. Schade ist es trotzdem

Wollte beim Summervibes Contest die 12 Monate Core die es fürs Halbfinale gab weitergeben. Ging nicht....
