do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil

greg martin tut, and some lunacell clouds... (just make a black planet with just the clouds and use a screen or linear dodge layer)

Was going to say, the clouds didn't look hand painted like the rest of the planet. Too sharp :)

Still not fancying the lens flares though, if you go in space you don't see bright stars like that. Lens flares are generally looked down upon considering the audience either 1)Loves them  or 2)hates them, better to play it safe and MAKE them love it ;7

You used extremely good colors though, niice. Wish I could be patient enough with photoshop to do stuff like that :D

actually, if you radial blur a lensflare in a 'spin' fashon.. they don't look too bad..

edit: observe

Lens Flare Stars
Create a new layer and fill it entirely with black. Set the layer mode to Linear Dodge (this is the best mode, screen just doesn't cut it sometimes). Render a lens flare (Filter > Render > Lens Flare). Duplicate the layer and resize as needed to create dynamic star clusters in the foreground. (You'll need a flare layer for every single star you want to create.)

The nebula is very well done, however the lunarcell moon doesn't fit in with the rest of the image.

Radial blur on the lensflare as mentioned here before would help make it fit in more with the image.

Using lunarcell for planet clouds and then adding some hand-painted touchups is a good trick.

I've not been too satisfied with any hand-done earthlike planets yet as they look too painted personally, while you can get a planet without water to look pretty good.

Did I say I liked the nebula? Could you do a 1280x1024 sized version of that nebula with no planets, moons or fancy text? I'm still trying to figure out a good way of doing my own nebulas. I've just not been having luck with larger scaled stars.

Mmmmm? I've been handpainting subtly for years to complement what SPIRE can output automatically. It's (literally, I think) the only way. :)

It's excellent work there. The only problem I can think of is that the monochromatic moon stands out, and not in a good way. I would bring it more in line with the colours in the nebula - copy a section of the nebula with appropriate hues and then superimpose it as a hue/saturation layer on top of the moon, at about 75-90% transparency. That should make it fit much better. :nod:

:eek2: Nice planet!

Everything would be great on its own, but I must say the space is way to bright, the lighting isn't quite right.

But as for the objects themselves, in cased you missed it...:eek2: :shaking: :eek2:
