A print of this painting can be bought here [link]


A network of planets orbiting a binary neutron star system whiteness the most powerful event in the known universe. A gamma ray burst, this burst was projected after the two neutron stars which have been spinning and orbiting each other at phenomenal speeds impacted one another, as a result they sent out a huge burst that tore through one of the larger planets in the system. Over the past years the system has sent out gamma ray bursts but usually small ones that have not had an impact on any of the planets in the system, but this time luck ran out.

UPDATE: changed the big shadow behind the smaller planet and changed the border to coincide better with the print, the wallpaper versions will be submitted later in a pack:

Here is my first large project piece of the new year and i thought id start with a bang.
This is also my entry to the sci-fi wallpaper contest which is why it has a pretty cool background border to fit the chosen resolution of the entry which is 1920x1200.

With this picture i was trying to keep a rather vivid colour pallet instead of my usual rather washed and de-saturated pallet.
The print of this piece has a much small border and title mainly cause as a print this large border wouldn't work well. Hope you like i had great fun making it and i will upload some other resolutions later on.

The wallpaper pack can be found here [link]

There are exploding planets, and EXPLODING PLANETS. This one definately belongs to the second group. Make sure to check out his gallery and give him a watch. ( Featured by `taenaron )

Whoow, this is awesome! I really like it. Have you thought about making it into wallpaper form?

I'm Fusion Linux project leader and we are looking for some images that we could include in by default in our Linux distribution.

We have tens of thousands of installs, and we would also list all artists that have their art in our distribution and spread the word of your great work that way.

If you would consider this proposal this would a lot to us, because we would like to share and promote great artwork that you have made.

Please check out our home page - [link]

We need all art to be in few different wallpaper resolutions, and licenced under some Creative Commons licence that permits us to distribute artwork freely, just to be clear you still keep all the copyright just give us permission to distribute it for non-commercial purposes. If you aren't familiar with Creative Commons licences I suggest you use "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs" and also check full list of differenc CC licences at [link]

Yeah it was found on some super image forum called 4-chan and then it spread like wild fire, you have no idea how many people I had come up to me whilst I was at a recent comic convention saying they had never seen the original (I had it on a large poster behind me hehe)or pointed at me and "HEY ITS THAT GUY" "Where is the one with the shoop da whoop?" to which I reply with a swift cricket bat to the face :ahoy:

well seeing the firin my lasa one..i thought seeing the original would tell me what was blowing up the planet. and so my first thought was some sort of super epic weapon..but now i know its just a star...energy pulse...still pretty cool

epic is epic...space is epic...planets is pretty epic...explosions is epic...

You have a picture of a planet, in space, that is exploding...epically. So by my math...carry the one...

AHEM! I hereby find you and your picture guilty of epicness IN THE FOURTH DEGREE!
