Description On the Day of Judgment,
Celestial bodies align
On the Day of Judgment,
Bitter cold replaces warmth
On the Day of Judgment,
Light brings, not salvation, but destruction
as life watches itself die

I just love penguins don't you?

Anyway, I'm really proud of this piece as it is the most realistic one I've created so far. I really tried to give the atmosphere a bleak frozen look, and the meteors I did my best to make them as realistic as possible. Three Terragen renders, a little snow and some Photoshop postwork and this is what you get.

Tools
Terragen 9
Photoshop CS2

Hope you all like it and as usual comments, critique and favs are all appreciated.

EDIT: Ok wow, I go to sleep and wake up the next morning, only to find that I've received 100 favorites overnight. I was shocked and amazed, especially since this is my first DD ever. I want to give a big thanks to for suggesting it and for featuring it. I'm eternally greatful!

Hmm, I wasn't really paying much attention to light sources. I'll be sure to take that into account next time.

Well, I rendered this before I had registered Terragen, so I had limited rendering quailty options. And thankyou. ^^

Ha yeah, it's the full version, minus some features. You can render it and save it without watermarks, but there's a size limit. Registered version gives you unlimited size and all features. The unregistered version still works pretty well though.

Holy crap that is amazing! 0_0

The penguins in there give the scene much more impact. There is only one thing though I don't quite like, and it's the other planets. I think the scene would very well hold up with only the last of the three. Also as pointed out by others, you can tell they're the exact same.

Awesome work though, this is amazing!

Could you come in and give me some advanced criticize on it? I like what I achieved but your work really has this.. something...

So could you? if you have the time for it. If not, that's okay. Thanks!

ErikShoemaker [2007-12-26 16:23:51 +0000 UTC]

the planets and effects are too repetitive imo... the planet texture could have more variation, maybe try to merge different textures.
But I really like the atmosphere, depth and the colors.
