After trying to create realistic – yet completely fictional – planets for the past couple of weeks or however long it’s been, it was a really nice breath of fresh air to do something a little more simplified. Though, it’s still pretty artistic. I got to use some of my previous planet creation techniques, but rather than focus on textures and light sources, this time it was all about color and form.
I was planning to do so much more today, but everything I was working on wasn’t really turning out. It was a lot more like experimenting really. I ended up spending the entire afternoon with my sister and my youngest niece at some kids safety day playroom thing. She had a blast, but was very tuckered out by the time we all got home. My feet are killing me, and I’m about ready to take a nap.
Thankfully, I worked on a few artwork related things beforehand, because I wasn’t really in the mood when I got home. It’s tough enough to find something to type up in this post! I’ll likely get back to it later tonight, but I want to finish this post just in case I do decide to sleep early. Tomorrow is another day, and I’m still holding onto a few ideas that I want to get down on virtual paper.
Hey there you lovely people. I tried my hand at creating a ringed planet today, and though for a first effort it’s quite decent, there’s something not quite right about it. I mean, when it comes to what little we know about what’s visually out there in the insanely vast cosmos, I guess anything is possible. I just have this feeling that the rings are too large, or too close to the planet. Anyways, I’m not close to done yet and that home star looks pretty pathetic right now without any lens flare effects.
