Submarine at the Arctic

I like this. It gives a good mood for the desolate environment.

Because of the ‘critique-wanted’ tag:
I guess my only critique would be to ask if you would still be able to see the stars as well as you can through the bright light on the left (probably not), and that it’s spelled ‘Arctic’. :slight_smile:

Beautiful artwork! It greatly captures the solitude of this vast and “empty” place. The colors are perfect! The lighting and shadows are great as well :slight_smile:

I admit I would not have guessed it was a submarine at first, I thought it was some kind of facility, but then it made sense as I zoomed in.

My only suggestion: I would recommend incorporating additional elements of astronomy. Why? Because in the Arctic, there is minimal “luminosity pollution” (contrary to populated areas, where the abundance of street lamps, car lights, and similar sources creates a significant visual hindrance, obscuring our view of the stars). In these remote/desolate locations, it is very common to be able to see, for example, galactic arms and some distant planets. There is also phenomenons like “aurora borealis” which are more prevalent in the poles as well.

Additional note: If you are in need of space brushes, there are great space resources available on the community :wink:

Thank you very much. I didn’t know that!
And I’ll study the brushes you send through the link!

You’re welcome :smile: Happy to help!

If you want to learn more about light pollution in astronomy visually, there are abundant resources on the Web. A good start could be Light Pollution on Wikipedia: there are great photos showing the difference with few VS much pollution. (And a picture of the world map showing that the poles are quite empty of such light pollution).

Additionally, on a more literary/scientific note, many articles explore the subject as well. For example: Light pollution poses serious threat to astronomy, skywatching and more, study says. The nostalgia of prettier night skies has even been called “Noctalgia”.

Happy exploring :smiley:
