Eclipse

[Darkyvm]

Had this idea while trying to find inspiration for the contest, a solar eclipse over a calm beach.

UPDATED!

First picture is the terrain with a dark blue fog, second one has a light blue fog, can't decide which looks better.

I can see the end of the world, it doesn't look natural, not much plants and stuff on the beach which I think it should and the eclipse just seems to be a black blob in a shining light.

I was trying to make the horizon, any ideas on how to make it better? I will add more plants on the beach and make the rays of light shorter to see if it looks more natural.

my suggestion:
give the camera a bigger Z value and make it so that it shows more of the sky!
make the distance between the foreground and the background larger and maybe use the stormsphere so that the fog blends in more with the sky to give it an eery going into the unknown type feeling and make the stars smaller and a bit variated in dimension
idk what to say about the eclipse itself since i newer done one myself but its kinda bright!
and use the water plane doodad instead of blizzard water

Updated!
Made sun rays smaller, added more stars and worked on the water and the environment.

Sky box, and the hole looks like it's done in paint, anyway make some doodads moving towards the black hole. I dont have the filling that is happening.

and the hole looks like it's done in paint

lol yeah i also noticed that, is it made in paint? xD

 

[Darkyvm]

No, it's a very small stormsphere with RGB set to 0/0/0.
And I can't see any problems with the skybox, Oziris. And also, it isn't a black hole that sucks everything. It's the shadow of a moon.

Here are all the problems:
-Add a thin light blue fog
-The moon is very close make it in the background!
-I hope now you will see the sky box.

ROFL i love Oziris' picture. +Rep to him for that.
I think the terrain is good, somtimes simple is better.
But really Oziris seems spot on, only thing i would add to that is the stars look funny maybe add more up near top of screen and clouds might look good.

 

[Oziris]

Thx Wolfhelm, Darkyvm the terrain looks better with the fog. Move the moon in the background, you have a felling that it is right in front of you!

 

[FamousPker49]

Make the stars much smaller and brighter.

You know the foreground is pretty awesome but it's the background that doesn't fit. Can't you make the sky more black and indeed make the stars as stated in the previous post?

Also the sun looks strange, it has blue rays?

 

[Oziris]

Make the sun rays yellow, i like the light blue fog!
