Description
WayfarerI proudly present you Wayfarer. No wallpaper this time, sorry
I'm not really in the mood for a nice story atm. But maybe you are (feel free to write something. If it's good, I'll add it to the description
)~WatcherCCG On a moon of an earthlike planet, two explorers chart the perilous polar region in preparation for expansion. Another moon blots out the sun, casting an eerie twilight over the arctic world, as the planet looms in the sky, sharing in the eclipse.

You certainly get those imaginations inhabitants of other dimensions and other planets with existing lives. I know you have a lot of talent in this kind of work, but if you believe in other people is certainly with the thoughts and ideas focused on this element type.
I've had some imaginations alike that when I woke up I did not want to return, are things that I do not know how to explain, but able to demonstrate in Art. But I do not have any tool to be able to express these views I have.
I really wanted to be able to draw so that neither you, Congratulations.
NOTE: (Google Translate) I'm from Brazil and unfortunately I can not speak English.

that's...three planets in sight (four, if we count the POV one).
i'm sure at least a couple more could be fit into the remaining space...
i mean c'mon. it's SPACE. it's bunches of planets wherever you look. hanging within plain sight and all...

well it's on the surface of my comment, under the sarcasm (sorry about that btw).
I've been looking through dA for years now, and these almost great, almost magnificent pieces of scifi art keep being spoiled by the annoying trend, where people just stuff all the empty space in sight with PLANETS.
I mean I did that myself with my very first piece of space art, but a) that was 5 years ago, when I'd just discovered PS and the ability to make space pics, so I was a complete noob, and b) it's an abstract picture - not meant to be at all realistic.
So I kind of break silence once in a while, when I think "geez this would've been so GREAT if he didn't jump on the "stuff it all with planets bandwagon". why can't the guy just let space be SPACE. It's AWESOME as it is, with the stars and the little little lights and the majesty and the infinity. Planets DON'T hang that close together. etc etc"
But no, 9 out of 10 space and scifi pics on dA have:
a) a big-ass planet looming right next to the one that the picture takes place on (which is completely silly, since they'd fall on each other instantly)
b) 2-4 smaller ones looming in sight, because that's so epic and also very realistic. As we know, if a planet has several moons, you can usually see them all/most of them at once.
Hence my irritation.
Feel free to dismiss my comments, hide them or whatever. Especially since I'm maybe/likely less technically proficient than you in some/many aspects of digital art.
That may be, but I can sure spot a silly trend that everyone copycats...

but you do see that this pic is like 3 years old?
and if you checked out my other images you would see that I'm not using many planets that often.
if you really want to see someone going crazy for planets go check out *QAuZ
have fun

You know the funny thing?
If I didn't think you were an awesome artist, and this pic had enormous potential, I would never have bothered.
Like the guy you linked me to - I can see from the previews what he's all about. I'm not even looking through that stuff, much less commenting on it.
But this pic (Wayfarer) would be chock-full of symbolism and epicness if it didn't have those two other planets (I humbly think).
Like from the preview, I thought it'd have been that nomad down on the POV planet...with the moon eclipsing the star above.
That would've been minimalistic and badass. You know? You have the wanderer down here, who no one cares about...and the wanderer up there (the moon) who no one cares about either...and yet that forgotten wanderer up there eclipses a GIANT STAR...and so might the wanderer down here, ome day. It becomes about the power of the individual.
But those extra planets (big one and small one) make the concept hazy, and what stylistic or symbolic purpose do they serve?
I'm sorry if this still comes off douchey. My skills at giving critique are raw and unpolished.
But be sure that I critique my own self and work the same way.
Like, don't even look through my gallery, because it's just a bunch of very flawed pieces. Even the better ones have enormous flaws and oversights.
I'm just, you know, kind of a perfectionist. And I think this had huge potential. And no, I didn't notice this was 3 years old...And I don't even know what purpose my rant is serving at this point, if it ever served any. But I have a feeling you kind of get it. Anyway, all the best to you, and sorry if I was uncivil in any way.

Taenaron, just ignore people like this. Offering an honest critique is one thing. Being a total arrogant a*s about it is something completely different. Its a great piece, 3 years ago or today!

Looks like a cross between something from Ratchet and Clank and Lost planet. I wish Hoth from Star Wars looked this cool in the movie.
