Description Err, wow, this was a big change for me. I was so bored out of my wits that I wanted to try something new. So, using knowledge I already knew, and a few tutorials to fill in what I didn't know, I somehow came up with this.

It's a look into a fictional area of space, to show us, as the people of earth, that the universe is massive. It's to show that we don't know what exactly is out there. There could be life, there could not be. I, for one, seriously doubt we are alone.

This took several days to make, as I kept trying to find ways to improve it. The only item I slacked on were the planets. I made one high quality planet (The biggest and closest one), then shrunk and colourized when I needed another planet or moon. I'll be making more proper planets, though.

Personally, I don't think it's all that good. But that's my opinion.

Before I wrap this up, would anyone consider buying this if I made it a print?

Whoa, excellent job at capturing the depth and scope of space. ^_^

I've read/followed a few space tutorials myself on DA, but I'm curious to know exactly which ones you used. Do you remember which ones? :3

Ahaha, nope! It has been AGES since I made this. However, I can probably find you the stars tutorial as I still know that one.

Awesome maybe it would be better without the rocks

Haha, sadly, it wouldn't. That part was left clear open, and it looked bad. I put the rocks to fill in the space. If I had something else to fill that spot, yea, would've been much nicer. ^_^

Ooooo... Cool! That's really nice! I'm a big fan of sci fi, so I think that's partly why I like it enough to Fav it.

Well, I'm glad you like it. I'm not a big sci-fi fan myself, but I had wanted to try my hand at something new. This is what popped into my head.

I love this!!! I think you did a wonderful job! it's kinda ironic cause were doing the space unit in science right now!
this is awesome!

Coincidental, not ironic, haha. I can't quite give a good definition of irony, but a good example is this:

If you're trying to build a time machine in order to stop time, just to so you could get so much stuff done, it would be ironic because you are wasting so much time just to build said time machine, and in the end you could've gotten all that stuff done without wasting the time of making that time machine.

Thanks. It was kinda hard choosing what colours for what. I'm probably gonna fix up the two planets closer to the sun, and make the colours more fitting.
