Description

My contribution for Desktopography 2015, a collection of epic nature themed desktop wallpapers in various sizes: desktopography.net/
Check out the artworks, it's worth it! You can download this wallpaper in other sizes here: desktopography.net/exhibition/…

This Earth-like planet in a fictional solar system is orbited by a lot of moons that frequently eclipse the sun of the system. In such events, the local predators emerge from their cloud cover to go harvesting.

The cloudscape was created using some of my photos taken on a plane trip between Germany and Italy, with the addition of a photo from the NASA image library. The flying dragons are mostly a blend of snakes, alligators and bat wings. As always the elements are tied together with plenty of overpainting. Hope you like it!
