Description
This one is the view from an alien moon towards the massive planet it orbits. Four of the five moons are large enough to sustain life, and the planet at their center is a monster 6 times the mass of the Earth. On the near moon it is dusk, when the Lamplight plants turn on, they use bioluminescence to attract the flying insect-like creatures that pollinate their glowing globes.The "Lamplight" plants are Glowing Piri Balls by Mr Lamppost, available for free here: [link]

This is the most gorgeous piece of space art I've seen in a long time. One question: what are the night side lights on the superterrestrial? Cities? Volcanism?

Thank you! ... but to be honest I was probably thinking more of Trantor than Coruscant

You are right, but I did not know this planet, Isaac Asimov is right?

That's right, look for his "Foundation" series of books - excellent classic scifi

I've always liked the idea of bioluminescence, I knew I should have made one years ago before Avatar made it mainstream among sci-fi But I liked that movie anyway
I like the atmosphere used, the colours in the clouds are intense but still realistic

Leave it to Hollywood, huh? Seriously I just found these Piri Balls at the Planetside forums and I thought "That's perfect!!"
I had to use them somehow

Thanks bud, one of the things I like is juxtaposing wildly different scales, like in this one

Really cool scene you made here Are the trees higher than the clouds or its just an illusion? looks a bit weird to me

Yeah the trees extend above the lowest clouds, but there are some more clouds higher up above the trees too - thanks!
