The abode of the bookworms.
Beware of all bookworm invasions.
They get into your head when you are not paying any attention. (5 years and 945 days ago)
Lava surface with oxygen atmosphere.
Home of the sentient beings known as the Garo. Giant gaseous beings that live off the plumes of the volcanic eruptions which encase the entire surface of the planet. They have only been observed from great distances and without great detail due to constant atmospheric disruption.
No commercial value as the Garo protect the planet with an extreme mental force field that prevents any communication from the outside Universe.
The moon, a ball of gelatin like goo is also protected by the Garo as well though they do not seem to be anywhere on the surface. Approaching ships are turned away by the NULL field that is generated by this gentle mysterious race.
The feeling of deflection that is generated by the Garo is not aggressive, but it is firm enough that any closer inspection is well known to be disastrous. They are given grace of solitude through the known Universe as the race that ended the Mind Harvestors. A race of vampiric thought stealers that tried to get near the planet to collect the dreams of the Garo. They were never heard from again. It is said that when the Garo ended the Mind Harvestors, their cries for mercy could be heard thought out the Crab Nebula. (5 years and 947 days ago)

Stunning technique author... I'm just having issues trying to figure out what the planet is.. it looks more like an inter-dimensional rift such as a wormhole (which fits the idea of this chop perfectly) or the porthole in Stargate.
Your use of Polar Coor is awesome as I always get stuck in the symmetry quandary and the work to make it line up drives me nuts...hehehe
It's your interpretation so I'm sure it's okay, I'm just offering up my opinion. (Excellent skill all round). I'm just thinking if a clear sphere or something might add to the piece (ONLY FOR THE CONTEST).
I always give a high vote for good work, and you have it in spades here
This version is fantastic.. I'm just thinking planet. An Oort Cloud around it would be cool as well. IMHO of course. I just love anything Sci Fi (super Geek) so this was a trip right from the start. Good luck author and great job.
Thank you very much. The worm hole effect is what I was after since it's a planet for book worms. Worms need a worm hole to crawl into, don't they?
To get the right symmetry for the polar coordinates, just duplicate your layer and flip it horizontally on a 50% opacity so you have mirrored edges on the sides and then simply erase the center of the top layer before you merge them into one.
I tried the clear sphere over the top of the planet but it was too overdone for my taste.
You forced me to learn something new though. I have never heard of an Oort cloud before so I was curious enough to google it and learn all about it. Thanks for the lesson, suggestions and inspiration. It will all come in handy in future.
Howdie stranger!
