My vote goes to Valence.

The ship turned out well, the glowy bits are sufficiently glowy. I always like your Nebulae

I vote Banj and I vote Banj because he's managed to do two things that I find very difficult. First of all he's accurately captured the pose of someone looming high above along with all the challenging foreshortening that comes with that kind of angle AND he's successfully rendered all the details and structure in a complex figure that's entirely lit from behind without it turning into a boring flat silhouette.
The lack of any literal blue doesn't bother me as the composition and pose has the urgency and surprise of something appearing out of the sky.
Also the fact that Banj gets actual commissions like a real artist should tip the vote further in his favour. :)

And I've forgotten to vote again.... I think I vote Banj this month, I really like how she's a silhouette against an almost blinding sky, but without losing all detail. I like Val's too, but I'm not sure if I misremember the first planet render... I think it looks a bit like the clouds are too fragmented and the dark spots below are the same scale and general "shape" so it's hard to tell if it's land or cloud shadows. But they seem too dark for shadows.

There. I voted before the.... 9th. :stare:

Yes, Congratulations to Banj who won last month's challenge Out of the Blue with his commission that I think was one of two, and it'd be nice if we got to see the second one as well, if your sis allows it :)
