Description I was going to name it 'Nameless' but damn, I couldn't.
It's one of those pieces I'm really proud of, and I can honestly say I like every single pixel of it.
So, yea, background planet is TG2 made, and some smaller too.
And I really hope you'll enjoy that piece.
This time no title-on-the-picture. Because I felt like I don't want to add any text there.
Cheers

It's most of all product of gradient maps, it's really easy to achieve something great with them!

Many people asked me for it, but my work is truly chaotic I often erase half of my work or go back 10 steps just to add something. But I can always make step by step screenshots

What's TG 2 ?
The deviation is just so awesome !
I'm a newb so i gotta lotta questions :/ : Do you use any Tablets? (if you do so what size ? and what company ?) ( if it's mouse which one xD?) What program s do you use? How did you make the textures o.o?

Hey, first things first, thanks for the watch and fav
And everyone was a noob once, so don't panic
And now onto your questions:
TG2 stands for Terragen 2, which is really awesome app for terrain. The background texture was made in it, although it was raw texture only with mountains (craters, lava and so on is postwork).
Back then with that work I wasn't using tablet, although I've had one (Pentagram Virtuoso P-2005 [link] ). It's really awesome and I'm trying to use it more and more, and at the moment I'm trying to finish one piece with tablet work. Although I don't know if this one will be available in your country It's A5 size.
Most of the time I'm using my old good Logitech G5.
And apart for the Terragen, it was made in Photoshop

Thanks you very much bro Yah it's true, not sure they bring any tablets except fron some 'genious'(company) ones here..Andrea What do you think about Wacom ?(i researched allot on em and they seem to be the best, some people also recommended them to me )

Wacom are best, from what I heard But I get used to mine, and unless you're super mega pro, I think there's no need to start with expensive tablet, but that's just a suggestion
Because if you won' like painting, it'd be wasting of time and cash
My tablet was lying in a closet for a year

I think i'l go for something normal ( like a intutos for 12 x 10 at 900 $) ( nah joking xD) ( actually maybe the small inutos 8x6..[wacom] but it's overpriced x.x) (I don't know if i should go for it or a genious one... :/) Painting eum.. i like illustrating drawing i donno painting too ... hard to tell gah.

Well, I can tell you A5 is really okay. It isn't really small but it isn't huge either
Wacoms are overall expensive unfortunately
But if you ask me, you can always try painting with a mouse, I know some people that are better with mouse than with tablet
Your call

Well i "aim" good with a mouse ( 2-3 years of hardcore gaming lol) but not sure I'll draw good with it xD
I think i'll go for some A5 with a laser mouse ( i found a few good priced laser mice in my country )
And thanks man

Sure, you're welcome, ask if you have any other questions
Also be sure to check, if the pen for tablet requires batteries. Some of them requires

Counterstrike and the 2d version xD (you can laugh xD) - Counterstrike was like the only game they sold here , and the only one my pc supported lol ( 2d version was better) ( the worst thing is that it was the fake CS 1.6 i had - a non steam one... Which meant i had to patch/replace a truck full of files so that i can play with steam players/ so that i can play online..) ( well you should look out the sd version, it's made this German dude - and it's awesome and funny xD) ( the 2d would basicly work on any pc - any operating system- and is portable - and free lol)
(my pc has a graphic card - one which has no name and has only 60 mb of ram X.X) (oh and a slow processor..) (well thank god i have a bro.. which went to university and left me his Laptop ^^ Which is stronger-newer than the other one..) Buuuutt.. Now .. I got a ps3 xD and just like you, i LOVE Call of Duty series I always dreamed to have em on my pc xD, i got a fake version ( that i actually bought - yep middle east was empty those times) And installed it, it didn't work xD.. And fortunate i got the ps3 just when i Black Ops Went out !
I spent 1 year on CS 1.6, then i went to CS 2d, as it was legal+servers connect instantly + servers real close to here+ free+amazing scripter which updates the game all the time (which means less working hacks for hackers )+ A huge multinational community+ Friendly servers+ Epic mods with scripts+ epicly easy customization+ Nonhacking buyscripts+ Lua scripting ( to make mods )
Well my plans are now: to get a new pc/laptop (i think laptop maybe.. Just for the portability - and sometimes they're less expensive) with a tablet, a laser mouse and an external monitor ( i just love dual monitoring) (specifically with a huge resolution ) But.. I'm still in School so... I have no income xD ( Honestly i wiched they [parents] got me a nice ass PC instead of that ps3 xD ) (oh and i got it coz it was my b-day 22/12 )
MY mind is stuck on that inutos ( it doesn't recuire battery's xD)
Well really, thanks for the support And i wont forget to ask you some question XD

First of all: HOLY SHIT THAT'S BIGGEST COMMENT I'VE EVER SEEN!
Dude, too bad you have such slow pc Some games looks awesome on PS3 but some still looks best on PC
Anyway, I've been playing CS:S for some time but that's not really my kind of game Call of Duty is more like me
As far as I know Laptops are great cause of said portability but you have to pay more for laptop with the same guts than station PC But I'm not sure so I won't say
And of course happy late birthday!
And good luck with getting that PC/Laptop

Yah I didn't even feel it when i was writing hahaha
WEll it's ok
And your right , Allways is better on PC ; ps3 is like a universal game player So that you buy it one time and you can play good games for a looong time ( xbox is the same )
Mee too Call of Duty is the best ( but it's controlled by freemasons and it's full of suliminal messages.. :/ true.. That's why it succeeded so much.. i donnu if i should type this over the net ... but whatever..)
You're right Portability is the best Oh and i totally forgot about Alien PC's when i wrote the message - Alien are reall powerfull but heavy X.X lol
And thanks for the birthday wishes
Well it's gonna be a long way lol..

Hehe ; did you play modern warefare 2? Or Black Ops?
In Mw2 there the freemason signs all over (pyramid with eye).. With subniminal messages.. Black ops has it's own way.. No signs but transition vids full of subniminal messages.. or at least that's what i think xD Whatever Still an amazing game ( or i'm a victime xD)

True, Black Ops does get annoying Specially in zombiez... When there are no available games, shows a pop up with "no available whatever" and then this ANNOYING PERSISTING video that they show everytime when there aren't available games.. not much people play zombies - less play in my region ( middle east oh lol) (and i have a bad connection so lol leveling up is like having a babie..)... I got the game at euum end of november? and i played like eum 2 twice a week ? but a full straight week during xmas.. and i'm lvl 44 lol ... and not to forget i have red connection all the time xD
wish had nice Xmass (or Christmas if you like ) vacation

Oh dammit another huge comment xD Oups.. I speak too much *sigh* i meant type xD

yea I guess it's nothing for the mass because it's rather unconventional. That also may be because it doesn't catch your attention right away. You definitely have to take a closer look to fully appreciate the details, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't deserve the attention. Maybe it gets a DD someday.
