Description
I believe that part of becoming an artist is being able to revisit older works and investing some time into fixing mistakes and advancing them. I submitted the original piece for this just over a year ago, and whilst it was one of my favourite pieces, it remained riddled with a few mistakes that I really didn't enjoy seeing. So this is to see how far I've progressed, and to do the piece justice.Now, the stupid thing is, that when I decided to do this, I realised that the .psd is on a different computer, so all adjustments have been edited directly from the .jpg. I've removed some nasty parts, changed others, and added more detail. Hopefully, it's a better piece because of it.
I know it isn't realistic with the planet easily visible through the atmosphere, but rules are made to be broken, right?. It's meant to bring out that concept of contrast better.
Anyway, I'll stop wittering, I had fun with this one, and that's probably me down for a while due to exams. For some reason every time I open terragen I draw a blank, but I guess it's all part of the learning curve. Enjoy the new hotness.

Honestly I love this piece. I didn't see your older version but this is beautiful - the richness of color, the movement. Really quite unique.
As for your comment: "I know it isn't realistic with the planet easily visible through the atmosphere, but rules are made to be broken, right?."
Depends! If this is earth, well then yeah.. but if it is a planet with no atmosphere then it's all good... though I am not sure, but I think to have water, a planet needs atmosphere?
Ah bugger I'm a painter not a scientist! 
Smoochi!

Your work never ceases to amaze me mate. How long has it taken you to be able to do all this stuff? Where and how did you learn to make it? I've been doing some stuff... but its pretty crap, you have any places you can point me?

Outstanding work! But then I expect nothing less from you. Probably why I don't comment on your work more. It almost seems...redundant. But that doesn't mean I don't look and enjoy.

the surface and terrain is amazing as always. the lower planet doesnt seem to fit in.. I dunno why.
But overall the usual excellent work, instant
