"Pluto's Stepchildren"
© 2013 Michael C. Turner ~ Galactic Visions Space Art

Pluto, previously known as a planet, is now officially considered only a minor planet or asteroid. This view depicts the ancient formative years of the Pluto system which is theorized to have, or have had, a thin ring system. This ring system along, with Pluto's largest moon Charon and its other companion satellites, was likely created from the debris resulting from the collision of Pluto with another minor planet/asteroid.

Ah yes. The shunned planet. I grew up always knowing that Pluto was a planet and then I heard that it was declared otherwise. My mind was totally blown. Anyway, as to the artwork itself, it's definitely not as colorful as what I'm used to seeing from you, but it does have a nice effect as far as the Pluto theme. And it's certainly not a bad thing for an artist to try different things now and then. I know I've done lots of exploring myself. ^_^
Anyway, good job.
