Description
Inspiration:A dream I had:
An advanced ancient race built a mega computer over almost the entire surface of their moon. The computer used incredible nanotechnology which meant that a lump of the computer equal to the size of a human brain would have 10 times the computing capacity than that of a brain. The computer was so powerful it could predict the future by examining every variable in the universe including human thought. But since accurately predicting an event affects the actual outcome, it was only a short leap for the machine to be able to ultimately control the future and run the universe as it saw fit. The race rightly named the colossus "God". The machine continued to grow inwards increasing it capacity and further developing its exact knowledge of the workings of the universe and existence itself. With the complete deep understanding of the universe obtained, the God consciousness then left its mechanical shell and ascended to a higher plane of existence physically becoming the universe and the fabric of time itself, in effect becoming a god in doing so. And thus the origin of God.
(Iām an atheist by the way! lol)

So beautiful! Ha, now that I look at it, it looks really cool and makes me wonder if something like that happened when He did create it. Well, I know your an athiest but that's what I believe. :3

hehe, yeah I'm an athiest but it could be a plausible story, that's why I made the piece
Thanks for commenting

I love the classic juxtaposition of positive and negative energy you have represented here. It demonstrates the duality of good and evil - two sides to the same coin - coexisting on a common ground: This moon. The "good" energy source emanating from the upper level of the planet is represented well through your use of blues and brightly burning white. The "evil" energy at the lower half of the planet is portrayed very clearly with the angry reds and oranges that typify a raging conflagration, the energy waves coming off as tongues of flame. This moon could well represent planet Earth and the positive and negative influences that exist on it. It could also easily represent the dichotomy of good and evil that exists within the consciousness of every human.

Incredible . Brilliant .
I love the pattern in the dark parts of the sky.
You should also read this short story ~The Last Question .

Thank you so much for directing me to that story! I'm not lying when I say that the last 20 min in reading this has really changed me. Isaac Asimov is a great writer, and when he said that it was his favourite story he had writen, I knew I was on to a winner! I love the story soo much, it is exactly the concept I wanted to create with this image. I often spend hours thinking about such things, and being an athiest I don't beleive in god and so I'm always searching for plausible ideas, which this story seems to display so perfectly.
Thanks again, I really can't put across how greatful I am

nice job.. I can't do anything in Photoshop, because I'm so lazy
Well, in the water reflection, should there be at least some indication of blue lighting even though the orange lighting is closer? That's the only critique I have about it. Other than that, everything looks really nice.
