  1. Holy mother of jeebus and beer those roses are great! Your gallery gets more awesome everytime i visit it.

    how the hell do you make this stuff! Pure awesomeness of the essence of awe and some. :drools:

    Your very talented, one day i want talent like that! (goes and reads more tutorials to gain said talent)

  2. Ok i finally got round to understanding brushes! I download some and played about with them.

    Below you can see my first finished bits of art using custom brushes. I feel like i cheated useing brushes but actually the image is like 80% PDN. I tweaked and messed around with the brushes so much that they are completly diffrent to the actual brsuh i used. Anyway, i managed to get some nice effects so i made sigs and avatar from it too.

    let me know what you think :)

  3. Hey there,

    ok i am lost when it comes to brushes. I did a search and found a link that sasy download brushes for photoshop and put them with the plugin. Ermm what plugin? And can i just download any brushes and add them to the plugin? If so is it as simple as putting them in a folder?

    please help,

  4. I like your Gradients with Moons. The daytime one is best. Maybe reduce the opacity of the moon slightly though. Did you make the clouds as well?

    Thanks :)

    Nope, the clouds were from a stock photo, all did was remove the sky and other objects and placed it over a gradiant background.

    It took ages to get the gradiant for the moon as there usnt any "cresent shapped" gradiant. So i used a mixture of the circle and stright line gradiants, over lapping the circle one again and agian in an arch shape to get the cresent gradiant.

    Once i have perfected it a bit, i might upload a tutorial. At the minute i am copying a Photoshop tutorial and changing it to suit paint.net.

  5. ok i saw this on youtube earlier:

    And its awsome. I would love to create something like that. Now i have dabbled in planet/spacescapes with paint.net but nothing like that! I am wondering can this be done in paint.net?

    Firstly the author seems to use stock images for the planet and a cloud thing. Which is then worked up on.

    Secondly - that astroid belt! I think the author is using brushes. Does paint.net support brushes? If so how do i get em?

    So i think, as a collective, we could make that picture. So this thread isnt spam, or a requesgt thread, but more of a place for us as paintnetters to try and have a collective aim, share ideas and knowledge to create that space scape.

    good or bad idea?

  6. @ Helen - Thank you :) - I am glad you like them! The nebula's are a new thing that i am experimenting with. I think i have the planets pretty much mastered. In some planet pics i have a sort of space dut in the background, so recently i have taken that effect and expanded upon it to create nebulas. So the fact that you like the early stages shows that i am getting there lol

    @ TheonlyChad - Thank you, its great to be told that your work is improving. Makes all those hours learning techniques and perfecting your methods all that more worth while lol. Trust me, many an hour have been spent learning spacescapes. I think i have just about every spacescape tutorial for Paint.net

    @ Sokagirl - Gald you like them, thanks for the kind comments. Again the nebulas are very early experiments with methods i have learnt and then tweaked by myself. a lot of trial and erorr i can tell you!

    Thank you again for all the kind comments :) I might post a short tutorial in here about how to create the "space dust". Then from there its easy to figure out how to make nebulas :D
