Description
Full View for a cinematic view of your local cosmosOK, so when I read about a "deviantMAP contest" held by I instantly started coming up with creative and humerous ideas. Rather than limiting myself to a world-like map perhaps with different galleries taking up different landmasses, I figured deviantART is so grand, why not give it its own Solar System (Or "Lolar system" if that sounds more like dA
Lets get to it shall we?...
The planets of deviantART
DeviantART Server: The very core of the entire system of which would not exist without it, Server lies in a local cluster of stars ranging from smaller stars like CGSociety or Renderosity, to massive Supergiants such as Myspace and Youtube. In relation to these other servers, deviantART server is rather aged but still bright. The perfect sized star!
Female Nudes: Lying closest to Server, due to it apparently being the "hottest" of the galleries and the first thing many people look for on arrival, if this gallery was any bigger, it would have formed into a gas giant like the other, bigger ones!
Male Nudes: Significantly smaller than its feminine gallery counterpart, this gallery is still hot in the eyes of the few that appreciate it, let alone the fewer again that submit into it. Its Mars-like look is well fitting to it's masculine theme!
General Photography: Sunsets, water-drops, flowers, rings casting heart-shaped shadows - you name it! whatever you can think of that was taken through the lens of every camera, ranging from the cheap disposable ones to ones that can put a Ferrari to shame in a price war - all goes onto this giant gallery, you might still have to try and find some available space though.
Traditional Art: Apparently is where the whole art journey started, you can tell as it has a well-established and earth-like form too. Though small compared to most other galleries, never undermine the value of any form of hand-made art!
3D Art: Not very large, but worth a visit if your'e bold enough to sit in front of a 3D program! One can't help but wonder why so many of those naked Poser ladies havn't been shifted by Server to the innermost planet.
Stolen Google Images: Aaahhh! these stray lumps of crap are just about everywhere! and constantly pose a threat to all the other proper galleries on here. Destroy the stolen google images by reporting them!
Anime / Manga: Makes itself a rather dominant gallery that's almost impossible to miss every time you log in to stargaze at this site. But bigger isn't always better - but having said that, across its vast surface are some beauties that are worth all that searching, sill - don't say I didn't warn ya!
Fan-Art: Don't look so shocked, you KNEW It was going to be the biggest, in fact - fan-art grew so big so fast that it converted into glowing a brown dwarf gallery - smaller than a star, too big to be a normal planet, hence why it's the second most dominant object in the whole system right after the Server itself, you can't miss it even if you tried!
Other Digital Art: Was once colossal! but ever since Manga and Fan-art seperated and coalesced into their own galleries, Digital Art in general became less than half the size after shedding those unslightly tonnes, in spite of that, it still holds a wealth of different forms of art and safe to say it's still a damn big gallery!
Worthwhile Tutorials: There's lot of tutorials on here, but half often lead to a dead-end for most that use them here, this teeny-tiny portion of the deviant System has been bombarded with every member that hoped to become pro in an afternoon, so the poor gallery sports a multitude of big craters.
Dee Dee's: Because we are losing our ability to say "Daily Deviations" in this busy place. Dee Dee's is the final fronteir, you can't get a better honour on here than that, few make it to this small but bright gallery that shines proudly with the teal glint of deviantART!
Art Memes: Like comets, they strike fear into the hearts of some, but are amusing for others. Art memes come and go like Comets do, and people enjoy it while it lasts, but couldn't care less once its gone...
Phew, long comment, remember not to take this too seriously or literally, maybe the galleries should be different sizes relative to each other and I just got the wrong impression. Maybe I could have added more galleries too! But I considered all the variables an dthis way was just the right amount to keep it humerous
No NASA imagery was used, some planets were made from painted texture-maps that were applied to 3D spheres, others including the Sun are done using fully procedural textures. Made using Vue and Photoshop.
Download is required to see text (but its explained in the comments anyway)
All artwork in my gallery is made by me and copyrighted too. Re-distributing my art edited or not is immoral and illegal! Respect the artist - don't steal art!

Hmm i did not mean it that way, what I am lauphing is the asociation of them as "asteroids" they nothing but little "rocks" in space that hasnt formed a planet. and they scattered all over deviantart like litter.
(((((((((hugs)))))))))
I do apologise you missinterpreted me and i said it wrong.
I to have had my work stolen.., but i wasnt upset about it, just the point where they claimed it was theres... since it was my message to humanity. *sigh*
Lotsa love and hugs

That explains this site better than words, and who knew that it could be explained with the use of space art. BTW, I'll make sure that the 3d art planet starts to expand.

Chromattix In reply to SkillZombie [2009-03-19 00:48:42 +0000 UTC]
Haha, it sure does, and I figured space art would be a good and unusual candidate, since anyone who dosn't like it would probably see space art as being something stale, boring and for sci-fi geeks but it has teh potential to be funny too
oh well, the 3D planet may be small, but it's one of the coolest

Yeah, and If I play my cards right I can be the ones to expand and make it as big as earth. But that's just wishful thinking; I have to be good first.

haha, this is so genious! I loved it! the idea is so interesting and reflects exactly how DA is (in my opinion), and your abilities with the 3D images just makes it better (:

Chromattix In reply to cmc1849 [2009-03-19 00:28:10 +0000 UTC]
Thanks glad it reflects how you and the other's see it too, since I was worried at first it may not appear the same way everyone else see's it
Glad you like it, and you can count on me making the 3D planets to look good, since I rarely get an opportunity to put so many different ones together

cmc1849 In reply to Chromattix [2009-03-19 15:59:56 +0000 UTC]
you're welcome. I've never tought about DA as the Solar System, but then you did that and it fit's perfectly. Oh, probably a lot of people may 'think' the same way, cause it makes all sense.
yey, more 3D planets. I love 3D art, but no much people do it (and there's less that are good at it *you're really good at it,in my opinion*).
So, I'll be waiting for more planets (:

Chromattix In reply to seancruz [2009-03-19 00:16:07 +0000 UTC]
Thanks, Gas Giants are really fun to create, many of them were made using the same texture-maps I intend on realeasing as stock at some point, But normally what I do is have one map on one sphere, then another sphere just bigger with a different map, and then I use yet another map as an "alpha" which gives me a nice blend of the two and the look of the planet can be changed and make a seemingly endless amount of Gas Giants from just four high-quality maps I painted
I've never seen a proper depiction of a brown dwarf either on here, but one I saw on another site stated that the higher clouds that appear brighter on the day-side, then beome darker bands on the night side as they obscure some of the internal glow...keeping that in mind, the brightness of the banded patterns almost "inverts" from one side to another

seancruz In reply to Chromattix [2009-03-22 04:07:40 +0000 UTC]
awesome I wish I could do that with photoshop. I actually have this illustration of a brown dwarf but I never finished the rest of the painting so one day you'll see the other brown dwarf on deviantart hehe

I was thinking whether I should have put literature in there, I suppose I could as it's tiny size would have made it all the funnier.
Hmm, lets say that most of Literature was consumed by the enourmous size of the fan-art planet and was transformed into fan-fiction few were spared
