Artist's Comments

INFORMATION

My school is having a photomanipulation contest that ended on new years eve.
I decided to join and here's the result.

A few weeks ago I was on a trip to Gran Canaria. Among the huge amount of photographs taken, the one used at the bottom was the most fitting one. It was taken at a place called Maspalomas.

Since my time I can spend on art nowadays is limited, I didn't have time to start all over. As most of you can see, this image is based on "Winters Bite". I have created two new planets (painful, hehe).

Read comment below for more details on how the planets were created.

That's really pretty, and really really cool.

Did you draw the planets or get them from somewhere else? If you drew them, massive well done deserved (Y)

The planets are created by manipulating satellite images from NASA's visibleearth website (linked in description), and textures from various places like mayang.com.

Basically I've taken 20+ textures (mostly from nasa.gov) and then combined them, delete stuff, add stuff, using filters, clonestamp tool etc to create an image as far from the original texture as possible. After this, I draw lakes and other things by hand to get more variation. Then finally it's time for the coloring process. :]

Thank you for the fave, much appreciated!
