Description

Hey there, i have been delaying this one for months. Finally had the chance to finish the concept in my mind. Hope you like it.

I'll upload other planets in this system as well, stay tuned! =)


And for some sci-fi

*** This is a planet far from our solar system. It's sun is a "white giant" which is several times bigger, hotter and brighter than our sun. The planet Illis is the fourth planet of the system which is at the border of destructive heat, therefore it survives being melted. However the neighbour planet of Illis is not as lucky. It constatntly melts and cools down accordingly to its orbital movement. Illis is mostly covered with endless methane oceans, by which a good amount of sun light is reflected back like a mirror resulting a cooler and durable temperature. Most of the life takes shelter under the deep methane seas from the exteremely hot days of Illis. Species tend to come out in the dark season which is a long night lasting for 4 months. One of the biggest species is the giant serpent which is the apex predator of planet Illis and is completely blind like all others. It's preparing to get out of the methane ocean for hunting since the dark season is coming closer and the burning sun is fading in the horizon.

Very nice! I've always been fascinated by pictures of life on other worlds!
I'm curious does any life live on dry land? And how do they survive the day periods?
