Apart from writing, I also enjoy making paintings and sketches.
These days I am into making astronomical art. Apart from just the
art, I like to develop back stories for my paintings. You can click
on any of the thumbnails below to see the large size artwork. Each
thumbnail also includes the story of what the painting is all about.

Galaxyrise over Toriban
 |
View of the Katann Monks
 |
|
The planet above is called Toriban and is the planet I am
talking about in my story Galaxyrise. This planet is inside
a globular star cluster called Andradi, which is perpendicular
to the galactic plane. The galaxy in the background is a large
spiral (much like the Milky Way) but over 100 million light
years away.

This is the view of a large spiral galaxy rising over a rocky
plateau on the planet Katann, inside a globular star cluster
called Algoray. The planet's moon Jonava also rises. Notice
the supernova and massive blue supergiant star inside the
spiral galaxy. This galaxy is about 30 million light years
from the Milky Way. Katann is a planet inhabited by spiritually
advanced monks, whose story I will tell you about later.

Amatron
 |
Dextra 1625AB
 |
|
Amatron is an Earth like planet revolving around a large
white star in a quadrary star system which is close to a large
blue cloud of space dust. The system consists of the primary
white star, a small yellowish-orange star and a pair of red
stars - one of which is losing matter to the other through
a stellar bridge of star matter. Amatron is inhabited by a
dominant humanoid species still a few centuries away from
the industrial revolution. Their technology is similar to
Earth circa 1300. Amatron is about 4,500 light years away
from us towards the direction of the Milky Way's center.

Dextra 1625AB is a ringed planet in a binary star system
inside a globular star cluster that is a part of a number
of clusters that revolve around the large spiral galaxy in
the background. Dextra 1625AB is inhabited by an extremely
advanced form of life that is semi-solid in nature and live
deep inside the core of the planet. They do not need to develop
advanced technology as they have developed a form of travelling
through their minds or a form of advanced astral travel. This
planet is over 200 million light years away from Earth and
the spiral galaxy in the background is very similar to our
own, but very, very, far away.

Pride of Altair

|
Close to the heart
 |
|
A beautiful ringed Earth - like planet with its two moons
revolve around Altair, 16 light years away.
|
A large jovian planet with a methane laced atmosphere revolves
around a star close in the inner spiral arm of the Milky Way
galaxy, some 23,000 light years from Earth. The rich starfield
is noticeable in the background.
