I think having it only yellow with no orange does suit the true colour of gold more, I always liked to affiliate gold with a warm orange-ish colour or a brownish-yellow but in reality it's more like this anyway. Plus you don't often see people do yellow space art - it's the least used colour for it I think I was thinking of doing an all-yellow piece for that same reason, though it was going to have different planet types etc, but never got around to it
My only suggestion is that the rings should follow the same horizontal path as the gas giant clouds. They seem to be at right angles to each other here, the polar region should be pointing towards the sun
i think it looks a little too monochrome. if you look at the gasgiant texture it has some different variations of yellow, unlike the nebula, ring and the foreground planet. i think it would look better if there was some more variations of the yellows.
True..but then again the "dull" yellow parts of the gas giant are the same type as the empty space areas (much less saturated, almost grey-looking) and the brighter parts of it are matching the sun pretty closely, maybe it's just a more noticeable difference on the gas giant since both yellows are close together, everywhere else its a mush more gradual change...I guess if it were a little more saturated in some areas and just a tad orange-ish in others it wouldn't hurt though
I always imagined momochrome colour schemes would be popular among space art since it can create a powerful effect. But one does need to be careful and choose as many variations of the chosen colour as possible to keep it interesting I see it done with blue a lot, orange comes second. Yellow and green are usually the least common.
id say the atmosphere on the close-up could be worked on a bit more, and pogonas suggestions seems suiting aswell. cool piece other than that, amazing flare!
two little things: -instead of monochrome you could try setting different tones of "gold" (2 or three), I mean it didn't even need to be a monochrome image, just that the few objects in the picture have similar colours.
-better than yellow you could try with some orange for the "gold effect" it would look warmer and not so yellow.
Thanks, I really tried to go for a 'pure yellow' look on this one and may have gone into overdrive, I'll work on it some more tomorrow with a fresh perspective
