this is why i'm moving into space, preferably the moon, sometime soon. so when i look out my window in the morning, i can see breathtaking scenery like this.

oh and the "not that its good or anything" in your description... lies, LIES, ALL LIES!!!

good job on this one nick. the flare in the middle might look a little better if you radial blur it. You'd get rid of those rings. But hell man, kickass pic

woah that looks awesome, somany stars. i like the colour tinting between the corners. Has there been a new trend in these type of scenes lateley? recently quite a few people (well, on my friends list anyway ) have started experimenting with these type of scenes hehe.
nice work.

ladyrapid [2004-04-12 00:50:21 +0000 UTC]

Nice u start to learn the basics in this, it's really fun .

The stars: They are nice, just maby a little to many at ame place, you should reduce the ammount a little, otherwize it's TO many of them. Mabye make some more difference in the sices to, optional.

THe transition between red and blue is really dam good man, exellent job there man. So are the planets, they look awsome.
ALlaround very nice

Reminders
_________________

The shading of that lower planet is just wierd, i don't understand it qiote though... mabye just some mistake i dunno. Cus if a planet is shaded, u still should be able to see the stars lying behind it even if the shade is on the planet, in this case it's shadow out in space as well, and thats kinda wierd .

Tip: To easily get better (not that it's not) stars is to play around with "brightness/contrast", it's often easier to make like 3 layers with "noise" on and make like 1 layer really low ammount of stars, but really hard glowing and so on, u get the point.

Make it a bigger rez (often apreciated by others (including me)) , hehehe.

That bright glow in the middle is nice and all that, but when it's positioned like here, straight in the middle, the picture easil get very symetrical, wich I think is not good with space sceenery, just try to make it outa focus, anywhere but in the middle .

______


This is no critism or anything like that, this is just for helping u to grow as an artist and person, with skill, confidence and pride. Youre a really nice friend to have so I just want to do anything i can to help u get better.

Peace out man, later
