Description The eternal struggle of red versus blue captured on a cosmic scale!

Seriously though, I wasn’t going for the whole “Red vs Blue thing” when I started this. I just thought to myself; “what are two colors that would look cool together.” And here we are.

Also, Yay! When I mess around in Photoshop trying to create space art, it’s ACTUALLY starting to look like space! AND YES I KNOW THERE ARE NO PLANETS! I wasn't inspired to put any in . . . yet.

4000 x 2572 300DPI
6 hours Photoshop and Sai


Thanks in advance for any comments and faves. I do read all the comments and reply to as many as I can. All the faves mean a lot too!

jimmyjimjimmery [2011-12-22 15:09:25 +0000 UTC]

wow, i've always wondered how people make such realistic backgrounds, i think the re and blue do contrast each other and you've made it a clear piece, it really works!!

Fantastic!! Did you use liqufy to make that (something that looks like wave)?

SteveAllred In reply to rendirez [2011-12-22 15:18:40 +0000 UTC]

Um, not sure exactly what you're referring to. But I do use the liquify and smudge tool a lot. And I also do a lot of hand painting in Sai. Hopefully that helps. Thanks!

Ummm, just a lot of painting in Photoshop and Sai. There are a bunch of tutorials that helped me learn in my favorites folder: "Resources FTW." Hopefully that helps, thanks for the comment.

That is a cool blend of colors and just because of the colors it kind of reminds me of the whole "good vs evil" thing.

Really smooth blend of the two, especially since you proved able to splash blue stars into the red space and vice versa. Quite amazing how there's no purple but I prefer it that way
