Untouched

There is so much we know about the planet that we live on, yet there is still so much that we want to know or explore on its far stretched surface as well as the vast dark stretches of space. How do we know what parts can be inhabited or not? Are there any other intelligent species that exist beyond us? What hidden gems upon this blue planet's surface could exist, whether they be living or not, reside upon the Earth's surface. At times, we humans are more concerned with the unknown and mysterious as opposed to what we could already perfect and study that exist right before our eyes. However, that is what is in our nature; we adore exploring and discovering new things on this planet and beyond. Each new discovery gives us more and more clues about this massive space called the universe that confounds us so. Untouched, created by space art front runner 'gucken, gives us a glimpse into yet another potential discovery made that allows this group to come closer and closer to the answers that they so desperately seek in this world. Perhaps this find may reveal to them more than they hope that it will.

Starting right off, the very first thing many of us notice is the detail in the resounding landscape in both the background and foreground has a very intricate level of detail and shows off the artist's knowledge of Terragen. The surrounding lushness of the forests in the area add life to the massive monolith-like mountain as it remains as if it is over-watching the entire area. The incoming aircraft show the same care and attention as the rest of the landscape supporting well-crafted and carefully generated details upon each of their metallic hulls. The very same can be said about the looming planets as they view the events occurring before them. Each of their atmospheric details and planetary textures give a convincing look and makes us almost wonder if such planets exist somewhere in this universe.

One thing that definitely cannot be looked is the gracious levels of atmosphere that cover the entire area of the deviation. The soaring of the aircraft can be heard from above as they scout the area around us. A calming breeze blows amongst the trees below; their leaves shaking almost rhythmically underneath the gentle Gail. The planets hovering above the scene as if they are in a hibernate state and will become active only when the time comes. However, one simple piece of advice I would give is, the majority of the area is lush and green, it wouldn't hurt for some of the mountain to have some foliage scattered upon its surface. It would help with the rest of the effect of the landscape.

Once again, gucken has showed us that he truly understands the mystery of the heavens above us as only an artist can. Excellent work as always. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/c/c…" width="20" height="20" alt="" title="Clap"/>
