Description
A better version of my Gasplanet-WIP. The picture shows groups of hydrogen-floaters rising to the upper layers of the atmosphere while Quija-Birds rise from the skeletal forms of the coral-trees, growing from the unknown depths of the nitrogen-ocean in the deeper layers of the planet.
I will be doing some more pictures of this planet and it's inhabitants, but I still have to create most of the creatures. Does anyone have any idea, what kind of creature could survive on a gasplanet like this?
By the way: This picture was a royal pain i. t. a. - at only 800 pixels wide, this picture took about 15 hours to render at "Broadcast" preset. Rendering took just 1 hour 16 minutes, the rest of the time was anti-aliasing. I hate multiple-layered tranparencies...

but it turned out so well:P..."wise commercial once say,'best things come to those who wait'"..:P

WOW ! I like it very much, the result is worth the pain. BTW, i've always thought that only oxygen gives blue skies. If your planet is made from another gas, i'd rather change a bit the color ( ie. iron vapour = reddish, copper = greenish, sulfur= yellowish and so on... )

Actually, our atmosphere is mostly nitrogen, so that color isn't necessarily too far off. Apart from that. Awesome picture and clearly inspired by Titan A.E.. Good work!

Gas worlds with a lot of free hydrogen could give rise to jet propelled predators. Giant flying shark shapes that use a natural ramjet form of propulsion. Also there might be high winds that would be advantageous to kite like animals and the high amount of static electricity would allow animals that use lightning as a means of propulsion and attack/defense. Just a few thoughts. Great work. A 10++. -Ray-

Well done!

Pretty cool scene!

Actually the dust in our atmosphere gives the blue hue we see everyday not the Oxygen. In order for gases to affect hues they must contain solid minerals of some kind.

Great pic! I agree on the shark/torpedo shaped predators, and possibly blimp like prey. Both propelled by some sort of jet action, much like a squid moves through the water on Earth. Skies on Mars are pink during the day, and blue at sunset. The reverse of earth. I think the color of your sky is fine! Great render!

I don't feel I know enough to quibble about the scientific possibilities in the image, but I thought I'd comment anyway because this is an outstanding scene. 10 because I love it, and it would make a great book cover.

it was every minute worth :-) carl sagan has some description of (possible) gas planet lifeforms on his book "cosmos", some look like a mix of great ballons and mushrooms (they are the "cows") and some look like "manta rochen" (dont know the english name, its a very flat and big fish).

speachless!
