Tristar Pictures presents! :D

Little background story:

I've wanted to use Vue for the landscape and spent several days trying to make those cliffs. Well, you don't even want to see what I've got :D

So I thought of using good old manip. I've browsed [link] and [link] for nice glaciers stock and found around 30 photos of glaciers. I think I used them all in here.

Idea:
I wanted to show a distant world with tristar system and a gas giant like Neptune on it's very boarders. The picture shows a view from one of it's moons, that is totally covered with glacier-mineral rocks. Maybe something similar to Tiberium but blue :P

Some of you may say: "Those stars look very similar!" - yes, they do! And how would they look when they are same stars of the same system! And believe me, if I spent that much time on this work I made those stars look exactly how I wished them to look :)

Some of you may say: "Planet looks pretty simple to me!". Well, it may look pretty simple but it's not. Actually it's even more detailed than the gas giant from my previous work. Another problem is that because of the shadow you can't really see that much. But if I make that shadow lighter, this won't be realistic and I prefer realism over artistry. And remember, I wanted to show a gas giant like NEPTUNE! Does it look detailed? ;)

And some of you may say: "HOLY CRAP! THAT'S AWESOME!". Well.....just fav it! :D

EDIT: Removed the asteroid on the left and blurred the main stars a bit.

EDIT 2: erm... I feel ashamed for posting a pic with such a boring and simple space part! How could you all let me do this?? :D
Anyway, this picture is one of my faved but there always was something I didn't like. Finally, I could've guessed that was the space part... so I just had to remade it and here you go :)

One more thing - all those people who had the previous version - DELETE IT AND DON'T SHOW TO ANYONE! :D

Destiny is not a matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It's not a thing to be waited for - it is a thing to be achieved.
;0 thats a hefty description, i was too lazy to read it all but i love the subtlty of the textures on the planet,
the only thing i dont really like is the pixelated stars
anyway great job :D
Pluto is no gas-giant.... it's a stone-dwarf :P
looks much better now :) :clap:

tobi or not to be....
Nice contrast between the sharp and cruel-looking landscape, and the rather soft, magical blue colours used. Would have bene interested in seeing the Vue version, But having faced a similar problem, I can picture what THAT would have looked like.

Tristar? is that like a Binary group, just with a third one in there?

Confusion breeds chaos but chaos itself brings it's own order. So one's confusion is often the clearest way to think in a situation.

Опять прекрасная работа!
Атмосферно, особенно понравились кончики скал отсвечивающие лучи звезды.

Но вот только астероид в левом верхнем углу... чего-то с ним не так - он либо слишком яркий, или слишком серый.. Короче кажется, что он приклеен на эту однородную картинку.

А так, супер :)
