Can I ask, what's your strategy for doing the texture of the nebulas? Do you use some custom brushes? Very nice man I like it.

ChrisCold In reply to ehaft [2009-07-11 01:16:41 +0000 UTC]

Yeah i made some custom brushes just for texturing smoke/clouds and everything related, though i dont use them very often, most of the time PS standard brushes

ViciousLint [2009-07-10 12:18:21 +0000 UTC]

Fantastic, gives a great sense of depth and the lighting is really amazing especially on the edges of the nebula. One thing I might suggest that you can play around with is maybe shrink the planets to give it a better sense of scale since the focus is on the nebula here anyway.

..and 1920x1200 would be great

ChrisCold In reply to ViciousLint [2009-07-10 15:32:10 +0000 UTC]

Oh damn
I think i was tooooooo focused on the nebula and also making a nebula with a tablet is somehow new to me so forgot everything else.
I'll try to add a good starfield

ErikShoemaker [2009-07-10 07:51:51 +0000 UTC]

Congrats mate, you have a great piece of work here and especially the nebula is really awesome, great details and depth.

The planet is a bit boring indeed, that might be due to the texture which is not that interesting. Considering the fact that the nebula doesn't provide proper light sources as bright as a sun, I think the planet is way too bright here. The color should reflect on the planet's atmosphere, but imo it has to be a lot darker.

As I mentioned above the nebula is fucking brilliant, however, the cliché coloring/concept really doesn't do it justice, therefore it sort of looses its zing for me tbh. Overall I believe it could be a lot better if you get rid off the main giant and focus more on the nebula instead.

I hope you don't mind a bit critique, you've already done a great job on this. I could have never done a nebula like this keep it up!

Thanks alot for your time, critiques are most welcome

no you didn't as I said it's great, it's just that the blue/red thing has been done a zillion times before

It's awesome... incredible

I love spacepics... and I have to say your pic is incredible!!!

If u want to upgrade the planet from the texture, what would u think about a border in the middle of the planet like the city here: [link]

or an asteroid belt around it?
