Updated/improved Terra-Mars, complete with polar icecap.


I shall now sleep for the next 12 hours.
In my world of sleepers, everything will be erased.
I'll be your religion, your only endless ideal.
Slowly we crawl in the dark.
Swallowed by the seductive night.

I think the shadowed side is too bright... but the surface is awesome. And the clouds... Did you make them yourself?

Nah, I've started using cloudmaps.  It's kind of cheating, but I can't stand trying to make good looking clouds by hand.  But here's a great place to get high-res cloudmaps, and it's updated very frequently, too, which is nice. :) http://xplanet.sourceforge.net/clouds.php

I'll see about fixing the nightside, as it is a bit bright now that you mention it.

Edit:  Here we go, slightly darker version:

It is. Bookmarked :D Making clouds by hand is, indeed, very time-consuming and you still won't have a "real" feel to it, so yeah, I stopped doing that as well since someone (was that you?) linked me to this site.

And that looks more like night now :yes:

Reading back through this thread, it is amazing how our planets have evolved and improved over time.  I put together a few pics to show this off, using some planets from FSF, Herra, and myself.

I hope everybody finds this as inspiring as I do, and keep churning out those great works!  :D

I was bored, inspired, and horribly sleep deprived.  So I made a new space-themed background.  ;)

Celestial Movement in Blue: Caerulean Dream



Mostly my own work, exceptions are the foreground planet and the larger moon on the right.  (I need to make more crescent-phase planets.) D:

Very pretty... My only complaint is the banding of the starlight :(
