Possibly the masterpiece of this year, and a nice introductory image for lore-related work. I decided to take on a complex painting to challenge myself a little and get those rusty cogs turning. Quite pleased with the result.

I bet, though considering it's a highly radioactive and fungal-infested world with very short summers and almost eternal winters - such choices might have to be reconsidered. x)
With my special interest being mushrooms and my love of cold weather, I think that would be perfect for me. 👀 Guess I'd have to put up with the radioactivity though!
Better wear a hazard suit and effective weapon with yourself then, the surface is full of "zombified" animals that love fresh meat and, every now and then, the central black hole still rains bursts of gamma radiation upon the planet. Don't want to become one of those creatures if you accidentally breathe in spores that grow inside of your body.
The only friendly life forms that exist are underground where it's safe-er, what you see in the image is actually a very large cave. :)
Though I would be surprised if the sentient planet itself allows visitors outside the entity's knowledge. The bacteria other alien life carries with itself can after all cause an ecologic catastrophe on other worlds.

Your command of backgrounds continues to be masterful, even if they're not meant to be as pleasant as they appear!
Why thank you, always learning to make my environments seem more atmospheric. :)
This.. this kind of thing is what I am starting to love.. the Detailed backgrounds really begin to add to the lore of it all. Lovely work, 8i.
Considering my own Lore of my own Species... I should state that I had a Planet (what is also called a Planet with a Ring planet around it initially) Called Terios'oro. Maybe I can explain or give you the Docs that I made.
You can give me the docs if you want, I don't want to force you into writing it down for me haha
The detail is beautiful and inspires awe. It makes me wonder what it sounds like there, what it smells like. I saw that it is a very dangerous and toxic environment. Sometimes when I see your world building it reminds me of my own alien design and world, though I lack the energy any more to put it into art.
Thank you kindly. Would you mind elaborating on the second part? You made me curious. ^^
Over the past 10+ years I've been working on an alien race (and subraces) as well as a home planet and extensive lore. I haven't done much to bring it to life, however. Also, I suffer from chronic illness that has recently made creating any art and writing difficult for me. It saddens me to put these creations to rest but there just isn't anything else I can do about it. I sometimes find myself vicariously reliving the creative process of bringing a universe to life through your beautiful art and storytelling.
That is quite unfortunate. The world is missing enthusiastic lore creators who put thought into good sci-fi. Maybe you'll get some more energy eventually to, at least, write some things down about it. :)
Full of mud, radioactive weeds and weird insects? I'm sure of it. Don't forget to hire the local pest control. :)
