Artist's Comments

The small and furry animals called Cumaeites that dwell on Cumae's habitable surface thrive off of the plethora of vegitation and the warmth of given off by the heat and light of a close supernova 4 lightyears away. The excessive leangth of the explosion has enabled life to blossom on the surface, however the Cumaeites' existance is destined to by short lived. Poor things

------------------------------

Few hours. The story was going along great but the impatience struck and i left you with a sad ending. Shucks. Im proud of the planet, and i didnt want to get too complex. An attempt to add a moon and an asteroid belt left the piece unfocused. Embrace the minimalism.

Oh yeah, i made this while talking to a friend and took a couple of screenshots along the way, if you want em, just ask. I had fun

PS: Yes, im aware of the absurdity of the name and story. There is another story behind it, which includes using the name incandescence, but then i realized that such names are meaningless although they sound cool. Woot

Cumae by =jagged-r0cks is a nice reminder that incredible space art can be done with a minimalist approach. Beautiful textures and soft colors, this one is comforting in its peaceful serenity. (Suggested by =Nameless-Designer and Featured by `Aeires)

I like this although it reminds me of Earth and how really lonely it is in the vast of the universe.

Cool. Simple is beautiful. This rocks.
Only to the border has happened something, a bit blurry on the top.
Other than that, excellent job overall. As usual. :thumbsup:

Nice man, very nice. Although i can see that the planet has so little scale on the texture, looks like there's a massive beach on the planet. ^^

I'm trying to do as much big scale as i can. It requires tons of textures i know but it's worth it. :P

Overall simple and beutiful!
