Emerald Giant

It doesn't take long to notice what makes this gas giant so unique. The peculiar green atmosphere of this gas giant is likely the result of a high concentration of chlorine. It's not just the distinct color that makes this planet unique; one of its largest moons is covered in a global ocean. Similar to Earth's oceans, it is comprised of salt water. Although this ocean has a much higher salt concentration and would be fatal to organisms from Earth. This moon is not devoid of life however; there are large colonies of microorganisms that are converting large amounts of Co2 into Oxygen. This many one day help lead to the growth of a more complex ecosystem.

I've been so busy lately with work and school, but I finally found some time to work on my art again. Hopefully I'll be able to make some more soon. This piece is inspired by a planet from the game Kerbal Space Program. I thought it would be cool to imagine what it would look like in reality. It took me a lot longer to figure out the gas planet than I thought it would. I worked on it for about a straight week, with the rest of the image only taking a few days more. But I really like how it turned out and definitely want to make more gas planets in the future. Programs I used were GIMP and for the first time, Blender.

The only stocks I used was a cloud image from NASA. The rest was made from scratch.
I recommend downloading to see the details!
Comments, suggestions, and critiques are welcome as always!

Touched up the lighting, and updated the sun rays a little bit.
