One of my most favorite pieces of digital art is a digital painting I found a long time ago on a website called http://www.digitalblasphemy.com/. It's titled "Tropical Moon of Thetis" and its imagery really captivates me! It's a beautiful painting that invokes feelings of awe and imagination. Astrononomy is a great interest of mine and seeing these imaginative and really incredibly rendered paintings really inspire me.
"Tropical Moon of Thetis" depicts a fictitious moon orbiting the planet Saturn. The artist took liberties to create a tropical environment on the moon which he named Thetis. The moon, of course, doesn't exist and the name is a derived from an actual moon of Saturn's called Tethys. Tethys is a dominantly icy moon that's riddled with impact craters and is in no way harboring plant life as depicted in the painting. So it's really nice to see something like this turning fact into wonder. Images such as this often make people think about what's out there in the Universe.
