Artist's Comments

This picture was based off a photograph of Earth from an orbiting satellite or an astronaut, I believe. Nonetheless, I saw a sci-fi show known as the "Outer Limits," and I suddenly found a reborn fixation on the planet that most of us can call "Home." I used a combination of photoshop tools and effects, my incredibly cheap drawing tablet, and of course, the original picture. This probably could be considered a photomanipulation, but it was created with so many mediums, I couldn't categorize it.

Suppose this is what happens when you spend every weekday watching Star Trek, and then you read the books. Anyways, this is my first real work I've ever done, and I suppose I'm looking forward to doing some more in the future.

(BTW, I know that the sun is incorrectly positioned according to the Earth's placement and lighting. Despite the practical lighting error, I figured that the lens flare worked nicely)

The lense flare worked well for this piece. What I really like are all the animal transformations that are occuring on the planet. They are a little bit hard to see from this angle, but if you squint you can make them all out. :)

But seriously, photoshop is a very powerful tool once you get the hang of using it. I used to take pictures and manipulate them like this or take my favorite artists' uncolored works and color them for practice. It's a good skill to pick up on if you have the time to do it. Keep playing around with the program, and if you have any questions, let me know and I might be able to help you out.

One question, though. Is that little circle in the upper right corner supposed to be the moon? The moon is actually rather far from the earth (forget how far, too lazy to look up). It looks like the moon is close enough to the earth to start causing tidal waves, which would be bad. Might have just been best to leave it out, if that's what it is.

Keep posting!

I hope that you're still searching for the start that has no end
And all the plastic people have now become your friends
Before you start to drift and your soul begins to scream
I just wanted to tell you that you're listening to a dream
