Description
Cosmic Conception ~ Immaculate Star ~ Lord Of Light©2011 Michael C. Turner ~ Galactic Visions Space Art
From deep within the fertile womb of a star-rich nebula, a brilliant new-born star, a nova, illuminates the shores of an extrasolar planet in a remote galactic realm. This "Lord Of Light" makes all other stars dim in comparison as its intensive light beams become exponentially brighter. Dispelling the nebular dust clouds, which previously shrouded it from direct observation, it diminishes the light of its stellar siblings. Viewed from the misty surface of a super size terrestrial exoplanet, its cosmic beacon bathes the night sky and the planet's surface like a celestial lighthouse with an ethereal light, revealing a world with abundant liquid water, one of the prerequisites for life. Three of the primary planet's satellite companions traverse the nebular background creating a dramatic otherworldly scene that may be far more common than rare according to modern cosmological data. Sentient beings, across space and time, witnessing such a Cosmic Conception would assuredly proclaim this
Lord of Light an Immaculate Star.

Greetings,
Yes it is traditional. I did make slight adjustments to lighting,contrast and colour to approximate the original painting. It is a challenge photograph an canvas painting without glares and colour shifting therefore, I usually make such minor adjustments to a photographic image of the original painting prior to posting. This was created on a relatively large stretched, very fine, linen canvas 36 x 60 inches. I usually paint smoothly using bristle brushes, acrylic and gels to avoid 3-D paint/canvas artifacts. Sometimes these are desirable however, they don't look very refined for space art when you want a more realistic appearance. I will share with you that I generally expend hundreds of hours creating large paintings of the size and detail. I realize digital aartists can closely simulate this in far less time.
Best regards,
Michael C. Turner

My point was the nebulae and stars are very smoothly painted, and in the same time with great detail. You can usually see this in digital painting of space, but I've never before seen a traditional one which looks like this. It's amazing, really. Great, great job!

I'm speechless, this is amazing, it's hard to believe it's not digital. I've been watching you for while now and every time you put a new picture up i end up amazed, stunned for a while.
Just like Pwesty i'd would love to have a higher quality/bigger picture to use as a wallpaper too
keep them coming.

Greetings my friend,
Thank you most kindly for your comments. It is indeed traditionally created. I did make minor adjustments to the ligting/contrast/colour to approximate the orginal painting as images of original paintings suffer from the photographic process to posting. If you will message me your e-mail address I will galdy send you a higher higher resolution image of this.
Happy Holidays,
Michael C. Turner

Wow. Maybe it's because I'm pretty passionate about the color blue, but I think this is absolutely gorgeous. In fact, it might be my favorite out of all the space art you've done so far. The way you have the light reflecting off the ground and directs the eye towards the nebula definitely draws my attention. The little strands of stardust that spiral out of the nebula seem to be a bit too evenly spaced out in those almost groups of three to be natural, but other than that, I can't really find anything else really wrong with this. ^_^ Very nice job indeed.
