Wow, this is truly epic! Very good idea, I like it!

First of all it doesn't seem to fit the contest theme. It doesn't show very much of your "exo planet" (see the "part of the landscape" in contest goal). The planet doesn't seem to be 3D - it looks more like an image (so far without a source) pasted on a planar polygon, with some nice towers and creatures.

Also, about your SBS, it's impossible to tell whether you've modeled the flying creatures, background planet and the clouds. I think you'll have to do some "on theme"-adjustment.

Thanks wlado, and since this was your contest idea I hope that answers dka120's queries about being on theme.

Author, so may very well be. That's up to the contest mod to decide. Not me, you or Wlado. Nevertheless, it's hard to give a fair vote exo planet contest when the only trace of the planet is planar polygon with an unknown image (no source) on it.

So, I do wish you good luck. It's a nice image. But I'll rather throw my vote on the other great entries, with detailed SBS and a modeled planet.

nice,gl

nice.

Nice idea and perspective, but I'd fix colors and exposure a bit. Add a little contrast, it's kinda washed out, but besides that it's great.

great work

Looks better now =)

Love the mood of this, perhaps if some of the further elements had some blur to it...it would give this some more depth.

There's one light source on the moons, and another reflecting from the moons. Since the moons are reflecting the main light source, the shadows of the "towers" should be at the same angle as the light on the moons because the light source from left is stronger.
Anyway, it's still a nice image...

great colours... love the planets in the sky

Very good, I like the colors very much!

This is truly an exoplanet!

I like this very much, but almost has a haze about it. Not sure if this was intended or not. If not, try giving it some contrast to make it pop more.

nice image.

Tnx! =)

All of the large planet would be visible, even the dark side...

Why? The dark side blends with the sky, and clouds are in front of the planet, so that's why they can be seen

interesting. like the effect of the image.

The fainted planet looks as if it stands in front of the clouds.

read the sbs and you'll se why If you know how to help me with this, please say. =)

Planet has to be behind the clouds! Also, scale of the background & forground water is incompatible.

I know the planet has to be behind, but I did this in 3ds Max using Vue plugin, and I can't figure out how to put it behind... And the water is one part, one big plane, so I'm pretty much sure the size is OK =P

I dont know much about 3d construct but i like the overall image. GL
