Companions in space, two planets passing close to each other. More of my art backlog. I like making planets, they are cool.

Fluid art. Digital art edited in GIMP.

That's beautiful. I love the contrast of warm and cool colors.

... why does the blue planet have horizontal cloud bands intersecting vertical bands at more-or-less perpendicular angle? It looks fascinating but I am not coming up with a possible cause. The red one has fairly typical wavy-horizontal cloud bands.

Thank you!

My planet art is always based on a fluid-art painting, and the ideal piece to use is one which has mainly parallel bands of paint. (Doesn't have to be horizontal, I've done some which were at an angle) This was not the ideal piece; it had a section there where the paint had flowed in a different direction. I don't remember enough of how I did the original pour to point out why it happened that way. But I still wanted to make planets, and I still wanted to make two planets rather than just one. So one of the planets is imperfect. I suppose I could have made the blue planet half the size so that it only incorporated the section with horizontal bands, but I didn't. (shrug)
