        Default Pillars of Creation



        Its funny that this contest was posted.. I recently saw this image for the first time right about when Kepler - 22b was announced. At this point I had other worlds on the brain night and day.. Thats where this painting comes from, seems to fit nicely into the category.

          Default shattered world


          Here's my initial offering more to come
          This world is the remnants of a super massive terrestrial world that was struck by a mass accelerator approximately 2 billion years ago. The resulting devastation created a semi stable series of land masses held apart by the radiation-charged core now generating a repulse gravity field

            My old illustration professor used to say stretch the rubber band until it breaks then scale it back by a few degrees. thats what I think you need to do: push your idea until it breaks then push a little more fyi I think this is a good idea just shove it more to the extreme
