Beautiful picture Olav , it is amazing for being 100% paint.net.

PyschoHarmonic- Nice one, that glow is pretty sweet. A pretty damn good piece for a new Pdner

Haven't been on this forum for a while .

Here are some of my pieces that I've got on deviantart:

Thanks for the comments guys, really appreciated

Here's a WIP for a realistic planet Im making:

[Frontcannon's Gallery | Still here: Abstract and Photo Manipulation of a girl]

Nice planets

The glow actually looked pretty good on the first one, I think what Leron was trying to say was that there is no lighting on it yet.

Here's a very quick demonstration on how I do lava planets

I usually find the best way to create lava planets is to have 2 textures, one for the rock:

And one for the little lava cracks:

Use shape3D on them separately and make the cracks visibly show up in the dark areas of the planet.

Play around with the settings a bit and maybe add some glow to the lava

Hope this helps

Congrats Yellowman, and Hexratt, those temple things are a nice idea

Awesome Welshblue, love the background, is it an edited version of another day gone? those muted out colours give a nice atmosphere.

(I've already Faved it on Deviantart)

Here is my most recent spacescape,

Don't Fail Me Now:

[Sozo's Old Gallery, Now Closed]

Just plain beautiful <-(Green with envy).

The background is stunning and the planets are perfect

I just love the little planet-(did some of the texture come from an Australia satellite image?)

[Sozo's Old Gallery, Now Closed]

Very sweet looking image , the only problem I have with it at the moment is the bottom glow, it looks way too bright and draws all of the attention away from the other planet.

You're making some nice progress with your nebulae , keep on at it Jerry (I especially like the red one).

Lots of layers and blending modes like overlay and screen are very important when creating a nebula.

[flipGALLERY | 3.16.2013 - Abstract City]

Nice new sig Flip , looking very crisp. I just don't like those little dots, they don't fit in very much with the rest of it.

Finally, Finished

After around 8 hours of working on this piece I'm itching to get onto something else

Whoops, sorry about that Kemaru, I didn't realize no one commented on your work.

I love how the light on the ball actually looks realistic, it starts off red then loses it's colour gradually, I also love how the yellow in the background brings the ball out of the picture and gives it some depth. Did you create that lighting manually, or did you use shape 3-D to create it?

[Image Umbrella: Realistic Images]

Thanks for the criticism and comments guys, really appreciated .

On the empty space - I'll get round to putting something in there in the finalized image, maybe some clouds or a nebula, it still has a long way to go to becoming completed.

@Himself: Sure, go ahead

[Image Umbrella: Realistic Images]

Nice looking clouds jerkfight , although some bits on the edges look like they have been smudged too much.

Man, that is one sweet lightbulb kemaru, it has an awesome feel to it-though would the glass have a reflection when its turned on?

Whoops, the other battle hasnt finished

Weylin: 3

KevinB: 0

I love the gold bars on weylins, kind of reminds me of barbieq's style. Kevins is nice as well, but mabye he should put it on a black background, you cant really see the yellow glow.

That is possibly the best spacescape for a first post i have ever seen , keep on at it solstyce, you could become a really skilled artist.

The shadow is a little too sharp, and shouldn't the sun be adjusted to the left a bit? Other than that your picture is awesome .

A simple way to create a spacescape background is to render clouds on a top layer, use a bit of curves for colour, distort it a bit and set the blend mode to screen.

check out the spacescape tutorials around the forum for inspiration (heres a good one: Link)

My latest spacescape:

That lighting and floor texture are perfect *Drools

The only flaw that I can make out is the jagged edges on the text.

Seriously awesome lighting.

I Agree with Chrisco, very nice image Yellowman, especially the moon texture

My latest spacescape: No Time For Miracles

[Image Umbrella: Signatures, Avatars, Logos & Text]

Very nice, the render fits in perfectly with the background, and not many sigs have good render-background flow.

[Goonfella`s Gallery - New Frontiers 28.02.16]

Beautiful goonfella , it almost looks like a real galaxy. The small white clouds do have some sharp edges though, and they look a bit out of place at the edges of the galaxy, but other then that it is brilliant.
