Title: Alien sunset

Sometimes I wonder how an alien landscape may be like on another planet. Could it be perceived by human senses like on earth? Would it make sense to us? Would there be life? A tree? A cloud...?

I always found it odd that the SETI project is based on the assumption that intelligent Extra Terrestrials (ET) would use radio waves like we do. Many assume intelligent ET to be similar to us, because that is the only intelligent life we know of (or so we think). In reality, there is no way of knowing how intelligent ET life forms may be like. Intelligent ET may be so vastly different from what we are used to, that we may not even detect that it's there...

Anyway, in this surreal illustration I depict an alien environment that can be experienced by humans. It is alien, strange, mysterious and I think appealing.
I also made a small animated presentation of this image. See it here. (Requires Java 1.1 or higher).

you know? your questions are just like mine. I like the drawing but I personally believe that it looks a bit artifitial to be a sunset. I do like the mixture o colors and the combination of them all thogether , but you had better works than this. I sorry if I said to straight forward. I admire your work since I found your gallery work.

Online art and illustration since 1996.

In mid 1995 I bought my first 3D software called Bryce and have been using it ever since. It's great for landscape creation and much else. In fact Bryce has been essential for the creation of most of my sci-fi, surreal and space artwork. A 3D software I can highly recommend:
