-Abeona-

This small, blue world encircles a distant binary star system. Its position is precisely kept very far to enable life to exist from the extreme heat of the blue-hot binary stars. The excess of gas and dust have been over billions of years creating stars near Abeona's suns.

Took about 3 hours. I really enjoy it. I don't know why, but the image kinda blurred here. :(

Historical Reference: Abeona, in Roman Mythology, is a goddess who protected and aided children the first time they left their parent's home. She is the goddess of Outward Journeys and Parting. Abeona also protects and watches over travellers.

I've perused your gallery and this one is my favorite I think. The newborn stars and the gasses orbiting them have a haunting but benevolent quality about them. I really like the title, like the far away mother watching over the children, so your planet watches the rise and fall of all the little stars.

Bravo.

Wow, I never saw it in that perspective!
Thanks!
I think I might enhance the image, fix some errors in there.

It could do with a little touching up, some of the light went smudgy on you in the lower areas.

I like your works. I really must back into making an atempt at space art. Christmass presents should be inspiration enough.

Excellent work. Your planet looks quite realistic, particularly the surface texture and cloud cover. I also like the depth that the distant stars give to the piece.
