The Sage of Aipaea

pronounciation: ah-ee-pay-ah
(Supposed to be a weird Greek name :XD: )

Dedicated to my grandfather who died in 1996; he loved astronomy and its many mysteries.

Artwork has been edited.
__________________________________
Aipaea, a strange and colorful star system, contains a most unusual giant marked as the Sage. It has no ring, but circling it are 2 sister comets. No one knows how such a giant can execute such radical cloud patterns in its violent equator. Among its few moons, humans have colonized and mined their rich deposits. Aipaea the star is the most unusual star discovered; it glows an eerie green caused by a sphere of neon gases around the star.

Ahh I really really like this picture, I just get disappointed when I see something wrong with the picture and everything else is done really good, what I mean is the smaller planet or the moon however you want to call it, it looks way too smooth and clean, sorry :D

Wow, I was really obsessed with ships a few years ago. This is just plain all-around beautiful.

Great scene, plenty of detail and interesting colours/forms makes this quite unique. Only I really dislike the dA copyright marker, since they get in the way to me, and the gas planet (whilst looking nice) doesn't entirely look 3d. ;p
