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!

NOOOOOO!! This looks so cool but I cant download it because my compputer dosent open Zip files !! UG!!!! Can someone maybe..... save it to another format or something and tell me where it is?! PLEASE!!!!!

Statross In reply to Dragon33 [2007-03-30 00:14:08 +0000 UTC]

actually, i'll have to do it tomorrow *will return*

only other thing i can think of is a .rar or a 7zip archive?

until i get my small-sized black backgrounded non-flash one up there this is the tut:
[link]

but the first page is buggered by ads, they pushed all my tables down so some text is not where its meant to be either (like imade some black for when it was on the white bits fo BG, but now theyre not)...but thats only a matter on inconevience...hope its still ok

Dragon33 In reply to Statross [2007-03-30 00:28:51 +0000 UTC]

sorry.....maybe im not doing this right.... I get the tutorial....... But not all of it! Only to where you show where the paint bucket is, then it stops! sorry to bug ya. Whenever you get the time. Thanks!

Statross In reply to Dragon33 [2007-03-30 10:45:52 +0000 UTC]

well, there should have been some flash buttons next to the text half-way down...but if not, this is how it looks in the zip:

[link]

its just straight HTML, with image buttons next to the text "planets" "nebulae" etc.
if you want to use it offline like you would from the zip file, right click and click "save page" on each page

Its about time someone put all the little steps together, i have always found it hard to put the elements together nicely when they were all written by different people with different styles VERY appreciated.

you have to download to desktop, it isnt a jpeg image it's in html format. that means whenm its fdownloaded to recieved files or whatever, you double click the intro file and it opens in an internet browser
