Wow, this is truly epic! Very good idea, I like it!

First of all it doesn't seem to fit the contest theme. It doesn't show very much of your "exo planet" (see the "part of the landscape" in contest goal). The planet doesn't seem to be 3D - it looks more like an image (so far without a source) pasted on a planar polygon, with some nice towers and creatures.

Also, about your SBS, it's impossible to tell whether you've modeled the flying creatures, background planet and the clouds. I think you'll have to do some "on theme"-adjustment.

Thanks wlado, and since this was your contest idea I hope that answers dka120's queries about being on theme.

Author, so may very well be. That's up to the contest mod to decide. Not me, you or Wlado. Nevertheless, it's hard to give a fair vote exo planet contest when the only trace of the planet is planar polygon with an unknown image (no source) on it.

So, I do wish you good luck. It's a nice image. But I'll rather throw my vote on the other great entries, with detailed SBS and a modeled planet.

nice,gl

nice.
