A speed paint of sorts. 1.5 hours for most of the build up, then another hour of extra cleaning and tweaking.

Here the near star has been setting at the 'horizon' since the beginning of mankind and beyond. Deep reconnaissance ships admire the view.
(yes I know this stellar composition is very unrealistic, but so is placing 2 planets closer than we are to our moon :D)

Million Years Sunset by *Shimmering-Sword Sometimes I think that speed painting doesn't get the recognition it deserves.. It is mind boggling how a few strokes, placed just right, can make a wonderful artwork. Kudos!!! ( Featured by `Casperium )

There's probability and then there are realities. Like you can't fly so close to a star but have a dense enough dust cloud in the way to block it (star and any local planets would have collected this material). Or while you could have planets somehow orbit very close to each other, the conditions wouldn't be ideal enough to live there (like other artists do) and those orbits would probably be un-sustainable. :)
