Description
Depicted is the fictional Red Hypergiant named Pyre as it moves into a nebula, incinerating gas with its intense radiation. Its size is such that if it were placed at the center of our solar system it would encompass the entire orbit of Jupiter. Such mind blowing sizes are typical of Red Hypergiants, who are nearing the end of their life. They stand on a knifes edge, burning fuel at unfathomable rates, approaching their ultimate end: a hypernova explosion and collapse into a black hole.Painted in 3 hours with Adobe Photoshop and my trusty old Wacom Tablet

It's so pretty! I love the firey-looking waves going around the star. It gives the picture such a chaotic and scary feeling

Wow. I don't normally look much at space art for whatever reason (I'm a sci-fi lover, but I don't really make much sense), but I find this picture very moving.

Ah, for a minute I thought this was Nemesis, a theoretical star located outside the Kuiper Belt.

Your paintings are always beautiful, but I think I like this one the most. It might be all that red and the idea of something ending and turning into a black hole.

I'm glad you like it, It was one of the quickest too. I painted it start to finish in two nights (there was a deadline for the contest I did it for).

Did this piece win the contest? I hope it did.

Unfortunately no, it lost to some more realistic fire.
I will give the judges a benefit of the doubt and assume they didn't chose mine because technically a star is not on fire, but rather it is super-hot plasma. The details

This is really cool. Quite a unique formation for a nebula piece. Reminds me of waves of lava

Hey Thanks! *Secretly was trying to make the nebula look like lava*
