Artist's Comments

Ok, finally a new image...

I have less time than I thought but I get very close to the end of my final examination...

I wanted to paint something and I wanted to do something with a big sun again. This time it is the opposite to my image reign of fire. This is more like a reign of ice. I hope you enjoy it.

The world orbits a hot star but rotates very slowly. This morning the ice age(night ;) ) is over, the ice melts because of the suns heat. A few Earth years ahead the sun will set again and the oceans will freeze.

This is mainly Terragen and Photoshop work and for water some Textures in addition.

I don't know what to say.
It looks great, there's a cold feeling in it.

wow I love your art! It's really great!

Just wondering:
Was this all from your head? did you use any photos for textures or reference?

I really like the contrast between the snow and the ice. Great job!

:D

I looked at ice-images to get a better feeling of how it is textured and formed and colored. The formations are invented and I hope they may look like true ice formations.

Breath-taking as usual. I love the sharp coldness.
