Description
A piece of space art I started on 9/21/2011 while trying to make a comeback to DeviantART. I ended up taking much longer than originally planned, but here it is. I have about 6 other WIPs that are almost finished and ready to upload!In this one I wanted to make a more earthlike atmosphere which is why I decided to use an earth texture which can be found here: [link]
The colors are more saturated and the feel is more soft and round to this one because I wanted to try something new and easier on the eyes for once. I feel as though it took away from the impression of doom unfortunately since the feel is too "happy" when really it is a scene of a double catastrophe that will imminently end all of mankind. The comet was inspired by Armageddon since I had just watched the movie again, and the emanating sun because of this video that explained in detail how the sun would grow in the future and engulf half of the system before it would shrink back in the a white dwarf and possible a black hole due to its density that will have amassed by the time it runs out of fuel.
Tell me what you think!

Interesting prospect. The meteor would win the race to end earth, but then the sun would just eat it anyway...

Very true. Imagine if both were to happen at the same time? It would be the most epic of all deaths! But then no one could record it... T.T

We are recording events that happened in galaxies billions of years ago today, it takes that long to get here. I'm sure if humans are still around, they'll record the final death of their mother planet from a safe distance...

Lovely piece
But if the sun whould've had time to shrnk into a black hole, then the phase where it engulfed half the system would have already been. Thus, the meteor isn't much of an issue since all surface life would be evaporated a long time ago.

Thats very true. Though here I tried to depict a scene where the comet is approaching, right as soon as the sun is about to expand. But looking at it with a different perspective brings forth different scenarios. Thats why I love space art so much!

Well, congrats on the DD, this is beautiful and it's a DD well deserved!
Just gotta say, I don't get any kind of "happy" feeling from this picture. Beautiful, yes, but not happy, lol. You did a very good job of making it look ominous.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well thats good to hear that the ominous feel is still there
I think I judge myself really hard because I always try to be as good as the elite out there who have a lot more experience and knowledge.
And thank you for the comment and support
