Another attempt at Io

This follows [livejournal.com profile] jordan179's idea of starting off with the real Io - I've simply deepened the existing greens and added more, in several stages to give it a really virulent look. At the sort of size I want to use it ought to look pretty good.



This is my version



and this is the original

I love this moon. It still lives up to it's Pizza Pie reputation!

The detail there would be pretty much invisible at the sort of size I'm using for this picture, I'm afraid.

Gosh, is that original a real colour representation of how Io genuinely looks?

I never fail to be amazed by pictures of the planets.
