A small asteroid, about half a mile in diameter, is about to impact in the middle of the ocean.
This was made in Photoshop, took about 2 hours to finish. All made with brushes, burn/dodge, smudge, etc., except for the ocean ripple filter. This is my first 2d piece in Photoshop, before I've only tried some model texturing in Photoshop. Any critique/suggestions is more then welcome.
It needs more tonal range, going from white to black. More contrast, basically. Add a new layer over the sky and use that to fade the clouds in the background with a foggish haze so that they don't appear to just get smaller. Enhance the fireball with some color dodging and it'll come out a lot more striking.
All of that aside, this is very good. How'd you paint it? Tablet, mouse?

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
I'd like to show you some awesome nature related work from more or less unknown artists which deserve more attention - this is a must see, you won't regret it!!!
I'm a lover of visual impacts. I like brilliant colors and shapes. And I decided to collect a whole stack of deviations that reflect that taste. These pieces showcased below deserve every bit of publicity you can give them. x)P
