Great work dude, I'm really liking the planets but mostly the terrain.
Good work on stitching the renders together, looks like one big render .
I'm not to keen on the tornado but nonetheless it matches the vibe of the piece.

thanks dude. Yea the tornado was the main experiment in this. It's bound to be a little worse than the rest of the pic. I'm still thinking of taking it out, but for now i like it.

I think its a fantastic piece.. but I dont dig the tornado.. but great work

please be a nice guy/girl and visit my gallery :'D

quite nice, but i think the cracks on the planet could use a littl emore detail and "grit", but they are great, having spent weeks on making planet cracks i know how tricky they are
gr8 job mate ^^

very nice work, you did a great job on the terrain stitching it together.
The planets and ring are also very nice, great texture on the planet and realistic looking ring
And as a contradiction against some other artists who commented here, I kinda like the tornado, although I could be improved

I really like where you are going with this, excellent texture work overall, especially with the cracked surface revealing the lava (a unique touch), as well as the twilight mood perfected with a slick, dark ring, and minimal yet detailed space work.

The details are also important, and add an extra depth when searching for further scenery in the darkness (such as the smoke rising up in front of the planetary rings).

This said, I feel that it could be further enhanced. For instance, let's begin with the foreground - some of the painted, jutting terrain seems to be purely black, with little/no light affecting it, this is great for the atmosphere - as long as it has that ever so slight grey haze enhancing the depth. I feel that the terrain jutting to the left seems to be oddly darker than the rest of the scene. Additionally, the persons figure seems oddly blurred when compared to the sharp surroundings.

The lava vents/planets are an impressive additions - excellent texture work. I think you could really make this shine with a bit more work on the lava though, for instance, giving it a real glow, after all, such huge cracks are sure to be leaking a lot of heat, wouldn't this light up the atmosphere a bit at least? It would look great with some radiance around it in this respect, especially on the dark sides! Quite a sight it would be (although you'd have to still consider it not interfering with the composition).

I find the ring to be both well crafted and distracting - I place this on the colour, it may just be to me, but I think it would look better as plain and white - like real asteroids (at least, most asteroids), the neutral colouration would perhaps be less distracting while still remaining a nice feature.

This said, it's a nice piece, an improved feel to a dark and gloomy scene - a common scene with unique features, jutting terrain, multiple large planets, lava vents/cracks, and minimalism with great detail - done right. Good work.

It's a tornado? Hmm, thought it was smoke, well, I think it works better as 'smoke' So I'll just think of it as smoke.
