I really like all of these different pictures, they make me feel inspired like a little kid. |

Sorry about that! Could you use the triple-screen and shift it to your liking? |

I really love this one. I'm setting up a new workstation and I always seem to go for the blue/black night sky scenes with the planet in the background. Gotta say though, the planet been split right down the middle on dual-screen bothers me. Not sure how long I can keep it if its still that way once I get my other two monitors added :( |

"Spelling" |

If you want to get technical, the North American spelling is "traveler"; "Traveller" is the British spelling. But no one has complained so far (about that) and DB has many British fans. As Mark Twain once said (attributed), "I don’t give a damn for a man that can only spell a word one way." ;) |

The file was there but I had misspelled "Traveller" in the file name so it was not linked correctly. It should work now. Sorry about that! |

The guys face to the far right hand of the screen looks really cool. He's catching some sleep as the comet passes by. It almost looks like there's an open wormhole with the comet going into it. Nice work. |

The 3200x1200 for the comet only is a dead link... |

Now perfect. I also like the background plate render, but it appears that the triple screen render 7680x1600 is broken. The bottom part of the image is corrupt. And, if I'm not mistaken, the comet is split between two screens. Is that deliberately so? |

The effect on the comet is pretty cool. The link to the 1998 version prompted me to go back and look at the gallery, and I found a couple of old "goodies" that I used to use as wallpaper. Ever given any thought to redoing 'fisheye' or 'red sky'? |

Perfect timing, to coordinate with Comet ISON's fly-by of the sun tomorrow.... |

Nice! The way I see it, without the man, the mountain now is part of the background, and the comet is now flying over the middleground. Much cooler! |

My latest (final) render is available this morning. I've removed the little astronaut, added some glow to the comet's "coma" and changed the lighting angle on the background planet to better match the comet's flight.
Multiscreen coming soon! |

I have to agree with Peter, while the person on the hill is a small part of this scene, when you do take notice it does throw off the scale. |

I really like the concept here. I'd love to see a version of this without the planet in the background, just the night sky and the Traveller. |

Normally I like the characters in your art, but this time, the man completely sets the proportion of the landscape off in my mind. Originally, I thought that the terrain he's standing on was a huge mountain in the distance (which makes more sense)... But with him on it, it looks like a little hill. |

LOVE it!
what if you changed the planet's colors a bit? more of a purple than an aqua? |

The comet's appearance reminds me a lot of the Patronus seen in the Deathly Hallows Part 1.
Wish I could be the guy on the mountain watching this... |

Love this one. The planet almost seems like a distraction though. Might be more interesting without it. |

Great image. I really like the composition and colors, but the comet's nucleus is a distraction. It appears too crystalline. A more nebulous structure with jets of material flowing off it would be more realistic. Keep up the great work! |

Love it! I'd love to see a mostly RED version of this in the Pixel Jar, but the blue is very pleasing too. |

I've added a new version of "Traveller" this morning. I've made the planet a bit smaller in this version so it doesn't compete for attention with the comet. |

This is awesome. However, bug report: the regular 2560x1600 looks like it is cut up an put back together out of order. |

Amazing. Really awesome. You might want to play around with the size of the planet in the background. It's competing for my focus with the comet, which should be the main subject. This is just my first impression though. |

Saw this, said "ooh!," and immediately added it to my random background rotation folder, even though I've mostly been holding off on expanding my collection until I could take the time to do a more systematic download from the DB archives. Guess I liked this one. |

Yet another homerun planetscape! I'd love to see a little green in there somewhere (maybe the ringed planet?) Love this one! |

I wish there was a version without the tiny 80's video game character in the picture. It is an unfortunate little blemish on an otherwise beautiful image... I do feel that way about most of the characters though in DB images - the feel of those characters never closely matches the beauty of the rest of the artwork and they feel like afterthoughts. JMHO... |

Terrific start -- I love the colors and the composition. Now it just needs some polishing. I'm not very fond of the tiny person in this one, however. |

The planet looks a little...fake? I don't know if it's my head misinterpreting the milky way style galaxy colors as clouds, but it looks like the planet was just copy/pasted right over the top, making it pop out, but in a less realistic way. The camera vantage point make me question if I should turn my head at an angle to view the piece too. |

Love it except the body of comet doesn't look realistic to me, I think it would look better if the rings we're removed. |
