Description My first shot at space art. And if you ask me, it's pretty good for a first try. This took about an hour to make with total of 15 layers. Everything is 100% done in photoshop from scratch. Just 1000x1000 new black canvas and me. The texture and guidance of the planet kindly gotten from [link]
As I am just building my leet skills in space art, I would REALLY apreciate some constructive critisicm. But I don't need that reality bullshit. " Planet don't really look like that." " omg, that kinda star dus nut exixtws!!2" This is art, and I consider myself as an artist of some sort and I use my artists freedom. This is not supposed to be reality, but science fiction. But if you know how to boost up some textures/effects. I would really apreciate that.

I hope you enjoy

Constructive criticism...
..Too much colour variety and brightness' in different spots... the planet is great. Possibly less nebula/lighting and maybe a bit too messy.

Otherwise, very well done!

I wish I could give you a constructive comment, but Ihaven't got a clue how you did this from scratch.. pretty much amazing. If you asked me wath makes this stand out, I have to say the halo's in different sizes and brightness. Give me v2 ... want to ... need to

Well, I'm afraid I bomb out at 'constructive criticism'. I wouldn't know
what to tell you and besides that, I don't see anything that needs
criticizing! I think it looks great! Hard to imagine that you started with a solid black canvas and came to this. Very impressive! And definitely one to be proud of!

I allow to tell you an only thing you should take away in your beautiful work. . the reflex the lens filter produces. . to give greater realism. . he tries to erase it with a erase tool 25/30% opacity big diemension or apply a low radiation blur on the lens layer.
hope to help you and gooooooood work friend.
see ya..

I kinda like the reflex hitting the surface of the planet.

But thanks for the tip!

I hate you so much for this. How can you just do a 180 and be a master at space art behind my back? ;D

woah synti O_o i'm truely speechless... so different from your normal stuff, and so inspirational, i love how you've taken something new and taken hold of it in such a great way, the colours are lovely, and i think there is enough there to keep you interested but, without being too crowded.

awesome piece of work my man

i'd give you multiple fav's if i could!

^lol

excellent stuff! an hour you say? i say you're a liar!!

As to the person who said that there is too much space art...thats a bit shallow. surely DA allows trhe freedom of doing whatever art you please? especially if it is a good as this?

more synti! i love your stuff babe!

Heheh, thanks

And ok, maybe I rounded the time down a bit. I really didn't watch the clock when I started

But I'll certainly do something similiar with my new l33t skills But only time will tell what it is

Mahtava kuva.. voih, kuinka rakastankaan tähtitiedettä, ja maailmankaikkeuden olemassaolon, ja synnyn pohdiskelua.. toivottavasti se tä htitiedon kurssi nyt sitten järjestetään.. minä tungen sinne vaikka väkisin, ja jos ei lyskalla, niin sitten vaikka synkkarilla..(yeah, right...)

Mutta absoluuttisen mahtavaa jälkeä..

Ei planeetat näytä tollasilta!1 Ei tollast tähtisumuu olekaan!2

Nojoo, kaipa tuo menettelee (allekirjoittanut ei näe eroa missään kahdessa avaruuskuvassa ). Mitä nyt ehkä jä ttäisin muutaman lens flaren pois ja nuo sumut jotka on 100% valkoista pitäisin 100% läpinäkymättöminä. Sanoisin että genreen kaivattaisiin jotain uutta ja ennenkokeilematonta matskua. Nih.
