Description This is my ultimate space tutorial. it is a large zip file which contains the tutorial in html format. i tried to cover in detail everything that most poeople would want to know about space art in photoshop. it is quite long because i have included more than one way to do many things.
INCLUDED:
Planets: different, detailed ways to make planet bases, textures, colours, rings, suns, detail and other things
Nebulae: 2/3 different ways to make cool and realistic nebulae for your art
Stars: only one way, but a good way
Tools: i outlined how to use layers and some of the tools in photoshop if anyone didnt know
Usefulness section: i made a section on how to use brushes (making them, texturing them, etc), a tutorial i made on lens flare and links to sites and tutorials.

i had planned on including brushes with the tutorial but that would make the file huge, so they are in a seperate file for download here: [link] . i also explained how to load them in the tutorial.

i tried to make it as coherent and detailed as possible, it is all made through my own experiance and messing around for many months now. the only part that isnt my own is the base creation, this is outlined clearly and linked to the rightful tutorial author.

this took days to make (lots of writing-.-) if there is anything unclear or anything that needs changing please note me and i will update the file..apart from that
enjoy!

Awesome! Not as easy to use with paint.net . But still completely affective. You did a great job with this ^_^

Hi, I used this amazing tutorial for this: [link]

But a thing to note, I'm not sure if my internet is acting funky or not but the link for the nebula brushes download doesn't seem to be working, it says that DA cannot find the file. If it Isn't too much to ask could you possibly give me a link to the desired brushes?

Could you do a tutorial on planet rings? I've looked up a few but they're pretty lame and basic. No cool detail like yours.

OracleX7 [2009-07-04 02:53:43 +0000 UTC]

Okay, so this tutorial isn't working for me, I guess something different in the way PS7 handles things? I get to Stage 6 and things stop working like your examples

Statross In reply to OracleX7 [2009-07-04 17:08:49 +0000 UTC]

Hi,
There are a few things that are completely different in CS2 than in the previous versions so it's likely that PS7 will, unfortunately, be different.

My main man... I have been bunching about trying to create space-art by myself, but this really opened my eyes on detailing..

Ill post my latest work- (with you as a reference) as soon as possible.

DeusApterous [2009-06-16 04:54:46 +0000 UTC]

I just wanted to thank you for making this tutorial. One of my biggest worries with photoshop was being able to have a decent looking Earth for my pics. This tutorial went above and beyond what I expected and taught me how to make just about everything in space. It truly is the ultimate space tutorial. Once again, thank you so much. Expect credits in any of my space oriented deviations. Just in case I end up losing the file...it's that good. o;
