Created as part of a freelance science fiction project... I needed to create several scenes from space looking down on alien planets.


For this scene I wanted to capture the vast splendor of space, while generating a sense of foreboding. I had been given a very specific direction on the look of this planet and what the scene should convey. My first thought was to show as much of the planet as possible and generate the mood through the use of color. However I opted to have only a small portion of the planet's surface illuminated to try and convey a sense that the planet may not be all that it seems, and that it could possibly be hiding something. To further emphasize the mood I chose agitating colors for the nebular cloud in the background.
