Always wanted to try my hand at making a background for an alien planet. This is a sunrise on an alien planet ^^ I havent thought of a name for the planet yet, but maybe I will sometime . Tell me what you think of it!

Best of the new pictures. This reminded me instantly of Vincent van Gogh’s, Starry Night. I like the swirl effect of the red circle because there is a feeling of motion there. The heavy paint strokes are cool too, I love painting like that. This does have an Impressionistic look to it. Good job, I’m tagging it.

:-) John R. McCoy replies: "thank you very much, John! =] I thought it was good too, but im glad u pointed out wat u liked about it too...ah well u usually tend to do that! =]"

Oh yes Vincent returns.... and this time it’s personal... sorry got carried away. That red circle echoes the sun and the two faint objects in the sky. This is almost like an eye... creepy... Crent?

:-) John R. McCoy replies: "if I explained it might ruin its mysterious essence >] "

I like the feel of depth it has to it. It has sort of a cold feel to it...like it’s sun isn’t very warm. And yes....on the verge of being repetitive here...It does have a Van Gogh touch to it. But, to be honest? I like this WAY better than Van Gogh. 1

:-) John R. McCoy replies: "oh thank you so much for your comments! =]"

Good work John! Some of the plants? remind me of some of the weird cacti we see here in arizona. One kinda looks like a Boojum tree- I cant describe it, but you can google it and see what i mean. Then again, maybe those aren’t plants- those are the Aliens!

:-) John R. McCoy replies: "The dark patch and the points u are referring to are alien forests. And yes they did remind me of cacti like plants after I had painted them. thank you"

:-) John R. McCoy replies: "Would you like to set up a group of sci-fi artists? I cant be sure how...maybe first start by all becoming friends..after that we can call the shots"
