TOP
I did this for a class a couple years ago. The final didn't go so well 'cause the print was botched by the folks at the print shop, but overall I liked how it came out! This is intended to be a scene on Avi's... er... my homeworld of Sura, which was taken over by the bad guys and left me pretty much as the only survivor of my people. :c
MIDDLE
This was just a practice painting I did a few months ago using color gradient maps instead of actual coloring or overlaying in order to get the desired colors for the whole scene. There's no real story to this one; possibly just some kind of hideout colony somewhere.
BOTTOM
Did this one last night. This is based off on idea that I had for my story for a few weeks now that I finally etched out real quick. The idea is that this is Heia, a rogue planet that is discovered near the end of the story rumored to house a gateway to the dark planes of the "underworld". The planet is pretty much geologically dead and only starlight trickling through the clouds provides only a bit of illumination.
... I like dark gloomy things.

I dare say that's evolved from my passion for the rain.
Sure rain may inconvenience us nowadays by getting our clothes wet and damaging electronics and causing the occasional cold, but in general it's more interesting to me than a boring sunny day. On those cloudless sunny days the sky is just... boring, nothing but a solid shade of blue and a blinding sun that you can't look at; and nothing about a sunny day provides any interesting audio. But with rain the sound of it is so incredibly relaxing, the feeling of it is soothing when you stop and give it a chance to hit you, and the sky is so much more interesting. Plus in an odd way it provided me with a lot of comfort growing up because it felt like the world was crying with me whenever I was sad. So rain was just incredibly meditative and soothing for me.
Because of that, everything that's associated with rain and storms basically became something that I liked, particularly in how the greyness of the clouds and the rain mutes everything around you. The vibrancy of the world is humbled when it's pelted and veiled by the rain, their sounds drowned out by its hush. And (partly because of pop culture's usage of rain's symbolism in movies and other media) the gloom of the rain also comes with a myriad of emotions that sunshine seems to lack. Sure people say that sunny days represent happiness of the moody-weather dichotomy, but that's only because that's when people actually do stuff. They don't think of sun when it's sunny; only when it's gone do they even consider it.
... Wow that got wordy and mildly poetic. *cough* ... TL;DR, rain and the "gloom" that comes with it represents emotion with me. Times of sun are uneventful and sterile of emotion, but rain and gloom adds interest and life to the world.
