i recommend downloading to see all detail. also, large file size, sorry if it takes long.__________________________________________________________________________________________
i'm still alive people... i know, shocking right? been too busy with work to do anything.
so please have this before i forget to post it for another month.
trying to make them look more realistic. i think it came out well.
you can find out more here:

so please let your eyes enjoy and leave any comments, favs or critiques, which are always welcome and appreciated!

Mu Arae b; now known as Quijote (as of December 2015 via the NameExoWorlds Contest) is a warm jupiter type planet orbiting the sun-like star, Mu Arae; now known as Cervantes (also via the Name ExoWorlds Contest) about 50 light years away in the constellation of Ara. It is the first planet discovered in this system.
Quijote has a minimum mass just over 1.6 times the mass of jupiter which was determined via the radial velocity method, which is also the method used to confirm the planet's existance. The planet's radius is not known though, due to it not transiting it's star as seen from Earth and as such, its density is also unknown, but it can be assumed to be close to that of jupiter due to interior models of gas giants, where electron degeneracy pressure causes planets with masses greater than jupiter's to compress due to gravity. Due to it's high mass, it can be assumed that the planet is also accompanied by a group of orbiting moons.
Quijote orbits its star entirely within the conservative habitable zone. Assuming an atmosphere near chemical equilibrium, the planet is likely to be very white in appearance due to high altitude water clouds. While it is highly unlikely that the planet itself would support life, any large moons in orbit with sufficient atmospheric pressure may have liquid water on their surfaces and may be conducive to life. The planet's mass is also high enough to assume that these moons are high in mass and are rich in water-ice. As such, these moons would have melted in the habitable zone to form ocean moons with deep oceans. These moons would then provide highly conducive environments for the formation and evolution of marine life.

I like the variety of worlds here shown against the simple background of space. Often times we'd like to see more, but the vastness of space is often a simpler canvas when on large scales. The Earthly and Martian-style moons are catching. Any references drawn upon?

Uma dica, o degradê da sombra está com listras na vertical, eu acho que deveria ser na horizontal. Tente fazer efeito de relevo das nuvens com a sombra.
Mu Arae b não está tão perto da estrela, não precisa estar com um lado muito claro, a parte iluminada poderia ter a luz mais homogênea.
Use atmosfera no horizonte para planetas terrosos, primeiro as nuvens, depois a transparência gasosa e embaixo o planeta terroso.
Eu não sei desenhar, mas consigo imaginar.

a sombra é listrada verticalmente porque os documentos Eu trabalho com são de 8 bits e não têm canais de cor suficientes para produzir um degradê suave . se eu usar 16 bits , o documento seria muito grande e meu computador não seria capaz de processá-lo. o striping é apenas um problema em planetas brilhantes como este , eu consegui lidar com isso melhor em outros planetas . e sim, o planeta saiu um pouco demasiado brilhante. i fez adicionar atmosfera para as luas sobre os horizontes e para a profundidade , mas porque eles são pequenos eu fui para atmosferas mais finas.
e não diga a si mesmo que você não pode desenhar, isso é o que eu disse a mim mesmo há alguns anos e agora olhar para onde eu sou , você vai obtê-lo eventualmente.
Além disso, estou usando Traduz Google , então eu sinto muito se o português é ruim.
