The Ringsby ~Smiling-Demon

Digital Art / Mixed Media / Sci-Fi

------
2 young Belic pilots race through the strange gravity fields of 'The Rings'.

'The Rings', one of the many space anomalies in the binary star system. Its a giant structure left from an ancient civilisation. 'The Rings consists off 7 giant rings (3 large, 4 smaller) slowly rotating (on all axis) around a small star like ball of gas. While noone knows its origonal purpose it's strange local gravity is now used by the Belics as a 'manhood' test for their young men. They have to navigate through its shifting gravity and back.

Edit:
Added a texture to the rings and played with the lense flares, hopefully thats them alot better now. Also changed the colours. Big thanks to *ChrisCold and the [link] people.

great picture but not so sure about the Belics. Keep that part of your imagination away from your art. The idea of a civilisation is fantastic though because that just leaves the person who looks at the picture wonder what the civilisation was like. You have just ruined it a bit by talking about your made up Belics and trials wtf man? Wouldn't the spaceships have the capability to deal with different gravities automatically anyway.

I dunno, personally I like it when someone has a little story to go along with their piece. I think it makes it more than something thats just been randomly put together to "look cool".

Fair enough, but that manhood testing is a load of shit for a story

~Smiling-Demon Jan 28, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

Its something that happens in alot of cultures throughout history and the modern world. Why shouldn't it be otherwise.

And in the future I would recommend not saying anything if you don't have anything helpfull to say.

What ever I say is helpful, I'm telling you how your description would get you more favs, maybe watches if you didn't include bullshit like that. Where do you fucking SEE trials in the modern world? I don't see people proving that they are off full age, you have something called age where you know when you are a man. History yes where people didn't count their years and had to do some shit to prove that they were of age. You've been watching too many adventure films about trials of manhood. So take this advise and don't complain as I'm giving it you for free.
