A study for a magazine illustration.[attachimg=1]
Action Packed! Great image and cool subject.
Was it a requirement that the image include the moon?
Looks nice :)

Thanks for the nice words!
Yes...the image had to include the early moon (which was closer to the earth then).
This is great execution! How did you go about getting the big splash at the center of the picture?
Very nice illustration!
I recently saw one in National Geographic magazine, isn't it?
I'd like to see the output from TG2 to see how much postwork you performed on it. Is that possible?
Cheers,
Martin

Hand painting plus some digital photography.

Sure! I'll post the original render as soon as I can. But just to give you an idea, I added the clouds, explosion, meteors, cracks in the lava lake, the lava flow and smoke, the distant volcanic plume and the moon. The glowing foreground rocks were done by copying and pasting that area of the render and then recombining it with the original with a filter and color adjustment. I think that covers it.
lol! Now I really want to see the original!
