First off i would love to say that this is a great artist, everything he does is amazing. The time you put into this shows greatly in the detail and the setting you create.

Anyway enough flattering!

I am nothing special, no better then anyone else, i just like giving a friendly opinion to those who request it.


Vision:
First thing i noticed that this picture was, what was going on? This isn't a bad thing. When i enlarged the picture it showed that it was a planet sitting in space against an amazing backdrop of another galaxy off in the distance or even a cataclysmic event that had recently happen.

Upon closer look of it, i saw a fleet of ships in the asteroid belt in the lower left. It looks as if they are in some sort of encounter, or possibly just flying through a cluster of rocks in space.

The background it self is absolutely amazing. A looming darkness hanging beyond the reach of the world. Something unknown and beautiful, but equally dangerous.

This picture has an amazing balance of bright and dark colors.
For this i am going to give Vision a 5 Stars.

Originality:

I have seen MANY pictures of planetary bodies floating in space, many of which are good, and some that just need to go back to drawing boards.

This picture stands out above and beyond the rest.
I will gives it 5 Stars

Technique:

Your technique shows in the time, the detail, and the aw it creates when one looks at it. I wish i had a sliver of ability that you do, but it takes great time and patients to make are like this, and make it look great. Heres to those with steady hands!

I will give it 5 Stars

Impact:

One of the key things i thought that added to the impact was the name of the piece, i didn't know what Cthonic meant. (Yes rush me to the cross and light me on fire) So i took the time to research it, and felt that the name chosen actually made me stop and go, Wow, i couldn't have chosen a better name.

The thought of a planet in the foreground, the feeling of safety and home.

In the background, like a poisoness flower, its beauty only masks how deadly it truly is.

I give this catagory 5 Stars also
-------------------------------------------------------------
Overall, most of what i have said has been repeated and repeated. Does that make it bad... well maybe for me as the 'critique'.
I hope you guys like what i have to say, if not, lemme know.

25/25 Stars Keep up the good work!
