____________________________________________________________________________________________


hello again my fellow viewers! i return yet again with another world in my alpha element universe! and again, another water world, sorta. well, hopefully its the last water world in my universe.

it is named irrom ('I' - 'rom'). the planet is larger than earth, but the water is surprisingly not deep. the depth is usually 100m on average with the deepest location being a large volcanic fault about 1.5km below the ocean surface. the water is hotter than earth's oceans and is on average 30 celsius. so the planet is always ravaged by huge violent storms. the planet isn't actually completely covered with water as there are a few small islands protruding out of the oceans in its shallow locations. the world has a very massive and diverse ecosystem due to the shallow waters.

the planet is home to a technologically advanced race known as the Vlatorans. its a little hard to describe them, but they are somewhat crustacean like. they evolved as one of the apex predators in the oceans and have a long life span of roughly 130 earth years on average. there are rumors that there are a few vlatorans who are older than 200 earth years! they do have biotechnology, but there biology is quite complex and so it is hard to integrate it into there bodies to further increase their lifespans. they can only slightly breath air but still require breathing apparatus around their gill like respiratory organs in order to respire properly. they have hard exoskeletons that grow as they do and they have large flat heads with four eyes. there build is more tall and thin and they have a long tail.
they live on the small islands in large tall cities which are feets engineering as there structures can withstand very heavy wind, rain and lightning. there cities are surrounded by huge mechanised barriers that controls the level of the water around the city and helps protect them from massive tides and waves. they are currently in the middle of a political war between their territories, similar to what we humans go through.

they named their planet after their god for violent seas and weather. they say he made the seas and sky violent whenever he was angered.
the planet has a small moon named vissia ('viss' - 'ee' - 'uh'). named after the daughter of irrom. it is a cratered world about 1/4 the size of our moon and orbits twice as close to irrom as ours to earth. it is the moon to the right of irrom in the image.
the other moon in the image to the left and behind irrom is tyrune ('tie' - 'roon'). it is a faulted world named after the son of irrom.

irrom orbits the binary stars Diavus ('dye' - 'vuss') and Wadara ('way' - 'dar' - 'uh'). they are both slighlty smaller than our sun and nearly the same size as one another. both orbit close to one another completing an orbit in about one week. they were named after irrom's mischievous siblings who constantly angered him. the entire system is named the Horaedis ('hor' - 'A' - 'diss') System. it was named after their god who created the three siblings. that name sound's familiar doesn't it?! you might remember it from here [link] .

there are 4 other planets in this system which you may see at a later date.



you can see a concept sketch of the vlatorans here.-------> and

How long you do to make a planet ?

depends. if the planet has a complex texture, roughly 2 days.

Your welcome,

Can you make a night globe with city lights. How much money you want for it to make it.
And can you make animation video , how much money you ask to make it.

Greets,
Ramon

You paint excellent planets. Looking at them reminds me of the show "Cosmos" by Sagan. Thanks for the memory.

um, actually, i don't really paint the planets. they're generated in photoshop using textures that i manipulate for the desired result.
but thanks anyways and your welcome for the memories.

The rings does seem inverted though,,, like you kept what was supposed to be behind the planet and removed the front. Makes sense ? xD Still Awesome though

okay, the thing about planet rings is that there a little tricky. when you use perspective on planet rings it gives them that nice realistic feel to them. but don't use too much as it throughs off the feeling.
the wider side of the rings is in front of the planet closer to the observer. the thinner side is the side behind the planet hidden and further from the observer. try going over the cosmic pack ring tutorials on digital heavens webpage or youtube channel. they should help you better understand planet rings. you could also use images of saturn to better understand the rings.
hope this helps you!
and thanks, i'm glad you like the planet!
