This is amazing, I never thought it would be this easy.
So far I'm still on one layer, something I thought was impossible for spaceart, and so far I'd say it looks decent to be my first.
Now onto brushing like a madman.

This is great, thanks a ton for posting this, really top notch stuff. Do you use a tablet?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you. Yes I use a tablet, I have been for a while now. It's the best purchase Iv done in a few years when it comes to comp extras hehe

Haha, yeah, I've been looking into one, I wanna do some terraspace work down the road and I figure I better start practicing, what kind do you have?

I have a shitty one I got for a commissioned job like 2 years back, a Wacom Volito2. It's pretty much the most crappy one out there atm
Gettin a new, "real" one soon tho when the money say Yes!
If you gettin a wacom now at a beginners lvl I'd recommend the Bamboo wacom. It's superb for a starting wacom (like 10x better than mine also lol). It features a black sleak design with a comfortable pen. The tablet has 4 buttons that's very usable when workin in photoshop indeed. Also the zoom funtion that lets you for example zoom your canvas, if you don't just alt + flick your pen that is ;D.
Get the Bamboo, you won't be let down.

Awesome tut. Btw, for making nebulas, do you use the smudge tool or is this just 100% Brushing?
Thank you!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Last few months I'v been all into brushing more or less. The smudge tool can be implemented of course as much as one like, I just haven't used it so much latley. It's not a tool to understimate tho, it yields power as a mofo 
Brush <> smudge tool is a fantastic combination. THO! learnin basic brushing before start smudging is to recommend!

Yessssssss. I've been working on both, lately. I've always drawn on paper so I have some technique there, so now I'm learning to put it all in photoshop and stuff.
Thank you again for the tut

Nothin' new you're telling me there, but still it kicks my ass to get to work

I can't start rabmling to advanced mate, I did this for the ones who need the first kick up the arse ;D. Who knows, I might write a more in depth tutorial on how to really make it interesting hehe.
There's only one problem here. I have the knowledge to write pretty hardcore things but I lack the skills to present it for you hehe so I can write a theoretical tut if you'd like lol.
An advanced one will come cuz even how boring it is to actually make the tuts I know that it's good to have them out there and especially if people can be helped from 'em, then they really serves their purpouse.

Yup this "how to really make it interesting" sounds good
Just uploaded my latest piece, have a look

It was actually pretty fun to write this tut, I might get a little ahead of myself and M A B Y E start workin on a more advanced tut!

Hmmmm, if I'm just setting the "flow" on 20 % it sucks, it's rather easy to put "opacity" on 20 % x).

Yea I know, it's 2 different things. One good for mouse, the other good for wacom. It's just a matter of choice ;D

aaaHA !
Then you should mention it in your tut !

I'm hitting the jobs so I can go get my own wakom tablet. I've had many friends recommend me one. Is there a specific one I should keep an eye out for?

The Bamboo is probably the best beginners choice (it's way better than mine lol. I have this old shit that needs to be upgraded ASAP) and still at a fair price. Try ebay or something, buying used is always a good deal trying out things, make sure you get a decent new one so that you have some sort of warranty left on it
GL!

Ah ty! I'll be sure to go get one.
And as for the job.... I know my local Harris Teeter has plenty of job openings and it's walking distance from my house XD
