Finally here is Neptune my second surreal look on our galaxy, but first planet of this series that I’ve drawn on ms paint. The old guy is of course called Neptune who is the god of the sea in Roman mythology, so the shark, killer whale and dolphin I’ve obviously included to be part of the water theme. There’s also ten snowflakes, and all the moons and rings I’ve included are labeled. Unfortunately there aren’t any horoscope signs ruled by Neptune, I know a real shame right. My next planet will be Uranus, that should be a bit easier considering it’s practically featureless.

Anyway here is some information about Neptune if anyone’s interested-> Like a typical gas planet Neptune has rapid winds confined to bands of latitude and large storms or vortices. Neptune's winds are the fastest in the solar system, reaching 2000 km/hour.

Neptune's rings have been given names: the outermost is Adams (which contains three prominent arcs now named Liberty, Equality and Fraternity), next is an unnamed ring co-orbital with Galatea, then Leverrier (whose outer extensions are called Lassell and Arago), and finally the faint but broad Galle. And Neptune has 13 known moons, Triton it’s biggest is thought to be a dwarf planet that was captured by Neptune’s gravity, it’s volcanos fire off liquid nitrogen, dust, or methane compounds from beneath the surface.

And the temperature on Neptune is about -225 degrees Celsius or -373 degrees Fahrenheit. The mean atmospheric temperature on Neptune is as low as -218 degrees Celsius at the cloud tops and about 72 Kelvin or -200 degrees Celsius at the pressure level equal to 1 Earth atmosphere. The temperature of the dense atmosphere near its rocky core is thought to be about 7,000 Kelvin, which is comparable to Earth's core or the surface of the Sun.

restless_dreamer on December 20, 2010, 3:00:22 PM

restless_dreamer on
restless_dreamerHahaha yeah I know I can't believe it's still there, they really need to choose a new artist to feature this month or at the next one. I'm too busy right now with other things to add anything new, people are probably getting sick of seeing my work on the front page almost as much as I am.

Oh and I'm sure you could draw that star on the left right next to Neptune, I mean drawing that is just like combining two triangles, the stars were the simplest part of this since well most of them were just dots. Sorry about now looking at your bird yet, I've been a little preoccupied with Christmas stuff...I'll go do that right now. :)

marikamiraOmg did u draw this?! Anyway the pic is cool and is making me curious for some reason....

restless_dreamer on December 20, 2010, 2:51:52 PM

restless_dreamer on
restless_dreamerYep I sure did, thanks so much for the comment and I'm glad it's making you curious. I mean that's the best kind of art in my opinion is when it's very intricate/interesting and makes you think, so what are you curious about if you don't mind me asking. :)

No_Name on December 16, 2010, 6:26:49 AM

No_Name on
No_NameNice.

I appricate the extra info on the planet as well.

It also kind of reminds me a Japanese painting of waves with all the detailed brush strokes.
I've also noticed the one rock at the bottom looks like a whale....but maybe that's just me.

restless_dreamer on December 20, 2010, 2:45:54 PM

restless_dreamer on
restless_dreamerHey thank you for the great comment, I always love getting your feedback, and I'm super glad that this reminds of a Japanese painting since that was the effect I was going for since it is named after that god of the sea. Anyway yeah you're not alone someone else thought that rock was another sea creature...hahaha they thought it slightly resembles a manatee.

lashanta22That is the most awesome looking thing I have ever seen. I swear you are a god with that ms paint that I just do not see how you do it!!! I love the background and the dolphin. Is this picture a lot bigger than this? There is a lot of detail so I was wondering.

restless_dreamer on December 15, 2010, 2:05:05 PM

restless_dreamer on
restless_dreamerWow really *faints*...gosh thanks so very much! Oh and the ingredients for this are patience, time, lots of different references, and loss of insanity...okay I'm kidding about the last thing. But I'm sure if you had enough practice using ms paint you could create something just as good if not better.

Oh and it is actually this size, I just zoomed in to draw all those tiny little detail because I am just that obsessed with all the details and am just another crazy perfectionist. I am probably going to make the next one larger though even if it surpasses my puny computer screen.

lashanta22 on December 15, 2010, 11:27:09 PM

lashanta22 on
lashanta22You're very welcome!!! I wish that I had the talent or the patience to pull something like that off but, I know I don't....at least not yet;D
I forgot about that zoom feature lol
