Obsidius, the Charred Ringed Planet
After a long hiatus, I've finally returned with another ringed planet!
It's barely visible to the trained eye of Persephonian astronomers, let alone the eyes of an astronomy student. The mysterious dwarf planet, Obsidius, is the furthest planet in the Persephone-1 system, and no one knows what gave it its ashen, charcoal-black color, or its ashen-colored rings, for that matter. Some say it is the result of a planet exposed to a burst of gamma radiation. Others say it is rich in Onyxus, a rare Persephonian material resistant to heat. Ancient Persephonian ancestors claim it is cursed by the gods. No one knows the truth, but are you willing to risk a trip there to find out?
Bring this dark and mysterious planet into your game -- only you can tell what secrets this planet holds.

As you like space and planets ...
I do love planets, particularly of the ringed variety. My goal with my little project here is to make more ringed planets available to game designers because unfortunately, there are not enough ringed planet images available. The few that I've found are either re-colors of Saturn or artwork that's currently closed-source copyrighted (meaning they don't want it used for commercial game purposes.) My hope is that by creating a variety of ringed planets (and non-ringed for those that prefer them) I can give game designers more resources for Sci-Fi/space themed games. Different colors, textures, and the like. I also uploaded my planet resource files for people to make planets of their own if they don't like the planets I made so far.
It's just something fun to do for me that I hope benefits others in some small way.
