Description
A fantastical image from a distant galaxy depicts a pair of inhabited planets locked in a gravitational waltz around a warm yellow star. Though they are two very different worlds, they remain together, dancing around each other for eternity; fraternal twins basking in the glow of the mother sun.
Ok so this took a while, like 2-3 days, but I figured out so much in the process, including a brand-new way to make realistic clouds as seen from space! This is also my first space art in quite a while. Hope you all enjoy!

Shouldn't they have massive problems of orbital decay and tidal forces?

oh of course, this was just a practice piece in visual realism. There's no way a system like this could stably exist in the real world. it's just for a e s t h e t i c

This is gorgeous!! π€© The clouds are particularly lovely, but the land masses also painted quite pretty.
Obviously itβs not to scale so I wonβt gripe about that more lol, and only other critique Iβd have is that the civilization night lights probably wouldnβt be quite so vivid, and there might be some atmospheric refraction or somesuch effect that gives a sort of glow/border-line on the night edge of the planet which keeps it from blending in so completely with the black space background, but I could also be totally wrong there. And I know this kind of space art is usually less about exact astronomical accuracy than aesthetic appeal anyways. So, ultimately, very nice!
sorry for all the other extra comments. I made them while on my phone before I was able to edit this comment to fix a typo, now Iβm unable to delete them even though Iβve cleared them out cuz unnecessary π£
