My First Image

[gregtorius]

Well I've played around in photoshop a bit over the last while, but I haven't created anything I've been proud of, until today.

I started off with the starfield, then added the nebula clouds, then some colour. I added a few brighter stars, and then the Planets, with a lens flare on the big one. To finish it off, I dotted a few galaxies around, and tried my best at some rings.

Any comments welcome

i really like the planet texture... however the rings are to sharp and unpleasant for the eye... good job anyway... how did you make the planet texture

[gregtorius]

using Lichen from google images ;

I've since made better ones :p

If you compare this to my first image, there's no comparison

Wow that looks amazing! You have most definitely improved since the first one you posted! May I ask how you did the particle clouds?
