Description
Atmosphere experiment, i came up with something whilst taking a break from coding and collabing and came up with a nice atmosphere... so i decided to mould it further and simulate a nuclear blast kinda thing.it turned out kinda well, i was considering having water only, except it felt rather empty, so i added a small barren terrain with a dead feel. Just adding to the feel.
So yeah, terragen only except for photoshop file changing.
Your feedback means a lot
(it's a nice wallie for desktop too 
)(sorry for crap title)
12hours to render (stupid water)

Important note
- this is not meant to be a "realistic" image, so any comment asking me to make a certain aspect more realistic will be frowned upon, and thou shalst be smote.

When I glanced at this, I thought it was real and you had used a fish eye lens.. Then I took a better look.. (causeiwaslike'woahwherethefuckisthat!?')
I love the colors, the yellow turns my stomach a bit, "Somethings not quite right." And blahblah.
Awesome.

water is flawless - except a little bit toward the mountains - love the sky and the mountains - looks like a photo from the thumb - wish there was a way to haze the mountain outlines just a bit - it would add to the realism....

That is perhaps the coolest water I have ever seen. Save the water file immediately, and send it to me. GAH!

It's Terragen - it's not real. But it is photorealistic, isn't it?

Yeah i figured that... hence the "

yes its nice, but your sharp water reflections can kind of ruin the water

Its a good composition.
The water looks somewhat solid. And I think you could have done a better job with the lighting, but its a good attempt. Keep practicing

very nice... ^_^ I like this latest run of terragen stuff you've been doing lately! it's really interesting to me how it looks like there's a second layer of water right underneath the clouds.... it also looks like there are much grander mountains above the water layer... absolutely beautiful, alyn. ^_^ the clouds looked kinda stretched to me at first, but after noticing these non-existant mountains, I really like it. ^_^

Ooh, golden sky and water.

it looks GREAT!!!! but there is one thing....it need to be more realistic

In the smaller size without looking at what type of deviation, I thought it was real before taking a closer look. This is AMAZING! I must say you sahould keep it up. SUPERB!

i like nuclear explosions! u hav to teach me how to make those sweet explosions on the planets, i hav tried but they don't turn out so good.

Hey man, this is really nice. I know it's not ment o be a relistic creation but GOD DAM!!! that water sure looks pretty realistic for me. Really good work man, really good.
It's nice with dark and yellow combined. Go for it. Don't forget to check m new deviation tomorrow, haven't published anything for a while now, so. well, check it out tomorrow around the same time

the water is amazing! the motion/motion blur away from the sun looks a little strange though, not a realizm issue

Nicely done, I would have personally turned down the reflection on the water as the water seems to have more sun light than the sky does. Over all nicely done, and yes, the water takes FOREVER to render...

awesome tone...great shot...and the title fits very well

I like the water. It's silly, but the texture reminds me, of all things, of the texture of aluminum foil after you wrinkle it up and then smooth it out. Hmm.

mate mate mate....its not realisitic enough...hahaha just joking
yeah this is another top effort..love the atmosphere effect- the fact that this huge bright yellow light is shining through it but yet u cant actually see the definitions of the sun looks cool
the only thing i think looks a little stange is the lack of effect the light has on the right side of the image...the source doesnt look low enought to be blocked by those mountains (and the edge of the water in the midde is still reflecting light) but the terrain on the right is in shadow....but then again thats how terragen depicted the light didnt it
another job well done mate

hm, don't know, the scene itself is excellent, the colors and the feeling are great, but the water turned out bad, I know it's sort of normal for terragen to make steppy edges and so, but here it's really bad. don't know if some smudging in ps with a small hard brush would help...and did you mirror the water or why is the heaven looking so weird?
sorry...I think this piece had a good start, but in my opinion it still needs work.

I like the sky in this one, and you always get the water just right.

VERY awesome!!! I loooove the light effects! Dazzling in a very..heh...horrific way

You ought to make this a pack... Picture and atmospheric settings...
Looks great.

Very nice but then again it's pretty much a given that I'll like anything with a 'lake' in it.

That's fantastic. Love it. What specs your PC? Just interested so I can get an idea about the rendering...

Very surreal sky and the water looks amazing. Very vibrant environment,

hm great work, i love the colors and contrast are great indeed... also a very nice atmosphere you've created, so its the way you intended it i think, but 12 hours for this res ?! you should buy yourself more ram, i guess

I think i'm going to take this as wallpaper for my pc.
I dunno... the atmosphere and the mood you create... something stunning, i really love it.

This is quite an eye-catching Terragen render!

geez... about a million comments saying 'ooh beautiful' and 'awesome work'...
i really gotta agree with ya on the atmosphere, its looking pretty darn cool,
i reckon the 'epicentre' of said blast should be slightly lower down or photoshopped so it touches down on the horizon too, just to give it that proper nuke kinda feel.
the fade to black on the right... hmm, kinda throws the scene off centre, maybe it should be cropped out to a square picture.
a few render niggles with the water towards the background, but i know thats cos of resolution and can't be helped.
Otherwise another fine display of your unquestionable skills

Is that Terragen that made it fade to black on the right side ? or is that made in Photoshop?
Anywhay, looks great. Good job.

Alyn was one of the first artists I stumbled across when I joined DA, and as of yet, I've not been disappointed by any of his pictures. This is no exception. I know he said he'd smite anyone that demands more realism, but I think that dead trees, or just their silhouettes, airbrushed on the top of the mount or near the shore would add immeasurably to the piece.
It's very nice though, once again a fantastic job by Alyn.
