Description
EDIT: I forgot to add that I made sure the satellite would be above Canada on the area of Earth that is shown, being Canadian myself. You'll notice Quebec probably, but Ontario is there right beside it. Thanks to one of the commenters who reminded meBEST VIEWED AT A BRIGHTNESS OF 65.
My Home Planet. Earth.
Tools: 3ds max 4, photoshop 5.02
I have dreamed of making an image of what I believed earth would look like from space. This started out with an entire space station above earth, but I wanted simplicity rather than complexity, so I modelled a simple satellite.
I love this.
This was made as an early christmas gift to all of you who have supported me through everything. I thank and love you all

NOTE ON HOW I MAKE MY SPACE PIECES:
Many people DA note me, asking me how I do them.
The most important thing is simplicity. Then experimentation. Simplicty is the key, remember that.

Very Nice, beautiful coloring, especially around the sun...
Seems everyone wants this as a poster, so why not make it one?

Nice, but the sunpanels of the satellite are not in the right position. So the satellite will have no energy to work.

I partially disagree with *ethelion, who disagreed with *niteangel...
Light does curve with the effects of gravity, but considering the angle we're looking from, as well as the amount that the light actually should bend, I don't think the lighting here should be affected too much. The satellite still seems a little off to me.
But that's a minor quibble. The comets and stars are fine as they are, plus they give sort of a dreamy/artistic feel to the piece. The streaks coming from the sun, the texture of the planets, and the lighting of the planets are all done perfectly.

That wqas pretty much one of the most amazing space-themed pictures i've seen to date. It's just...excellent. Starfields, the earth itself, even the detail on the satellight. This is fantastic work

I do not agree with *niteangel ..
This is a great image (as *niteangel said..), and the colors and light work well together. If you know anything about space on the other hand, you would know that 'space-light' bends, and follow gravity patterns to a certain degree.. so the lighting on the satellite is perfect. The comet on the left fits perfectly, and adds some magic and mystery to the piece. The larger stars look good where they are. You would propably make them 'stick out' by placing them in the darker corners of the image. I love what you've done with the moon and the lightrays from the sun, by the way..
It is clear that you appreciate our home: Gaia.
Mother earth portrayed as never before.. this is truly a beautifull piece!
Respect.
