Thanks Gothic. I didn't know about this phenomenon, which is interesting indeed. Actually when I started working on this image (back in 1998) I first painted the large moon and then it just seemed natural to paint a landscape at the bottom that was "looking up" at the moons.
I don't know if you were aware of it at the time which you created this, but what I see in your artwork is actually a real phenomenon that occurs of Saturn's moon Enceladus. Ice geysers at the south pole happen because of the gravity pull from Saturn's other moons when they pass nearby... interesting huh?
this is my favorite picture, it's just too beautefull. a planet about to be plasted by other planet, how can people imaginethat?, this guy imagine it really good. i love this kind of fantasy.
This is my favorite of the small collection I can see of yours. But I love the colors you've chosen for all in your collection. This is the kind of digital space art I've been searching the web for and been mostly disappointed except for one or two from others' collections. Until now.
I imagine this to be millions of years from now, when somehow a distant planet is drawn to Earth (the bottom of the picture you can see it's rocky surface). But luckily for both of us, the gravity attraction isn't strong enough to completely annihilate us; instead this alien world grazes gracefully over our heads like a passing visitor, and I am watching this meeting of the planets through my window at night.
Always a pleasure watching and imagining being in your artwork. Composing ambient to stuff like this is a real treat.
It looks like a collision between a prolific planet and a desolate planet...like the beutiful planet is going to destroy the deserted planet. And the rocks are almost like a race of people, watching as their arid planet is destroy by beauty. Everyone interprets art their own way though...great work.
