@Geoffery52: Thank you

@barbieq25: Thanks I should really try some more stuff other than Space...but Astronomy is near passion xD

March 25, 2012

@Skullbonz: you have a very unique style, and I like it I guess the only thing you could jump on is more lighting effects on the planets even the simplest things like blurring a white blob could give a nice effect.

@Helen: Thank you, again ^_^

March 24, 2012

@dug: Thank you ^_^

@yellowman: Yes it's 100% pdn And thanks about the lighthouse :L but I could've honestly added more detail to the actual lighthouse itself

March 24, 2012

Sorry for the bump. I've posted a few more since last time

March 21, 2012

Very nice landscapes!

March 19, 2012

This one picture is just amazing. I am just amazed to how?!

March 19, 2012

Really nice gallery I love your space scenes

March 16, 2012

You have some real nice stuff going on. By the way, I added you to my dA watch list so I can see your fine works.

Thank you

@dug: Thank you also

March 3, 2012

Nice work mate. I really should start using dA again.

Beyond the Eclipse ... equals up there with the greats like GoonFella and Sozo for me. Beautiful

Wow.. Thanks a lot

February 29, 2012

Very nice images, the colors textures, arrangement of the elements in all are well done, although with some lighting/shadow problems as Goonfella pointed out, but I love them all.

I just want to discuss some technical issues, in my opinion they need to be addressed, if you still keeping the pnd layers:

1-In "Solar Perspective" the planet "looks like" is consist of two halves and you joint them together but didn't blend them well along the joint, and there is also a cutoff in the bottom-left and top-right sides of the background ( between the blurred and the un-blurred parts).

2-In the "Callisto" the blend between the white mountains and the yellow need some work, especially in the center of the image you can see a dark triangle,

Other than everything is good, thanks for sharing.

Edit: spelling

I never noticed the 'layer cut' problem before, I think it was just an error with the lighting when I first started (I had a few problems and thought I fixed all of them); and I have no idea about the 'dark triangle' in Callisto...

The blurring parts was just me accidentally saving it as a low-quality .png image. I did re-save it, but again didn't notice any issues.

February 29, 2012

Missed the other recent updates until this one. Very nice blends and modifications. Inspirational even for extending PDN work with such clarity. To mirror what others said, thank you for taking the time to drop them by here. Great examples to work from.

Thanks I have been working on spacescapes for some time, so hopefully better stuff will gradually come

February 29, 2012

These are superb! I really do like the Callisto spacescape. The lighting is just great. However the shadows of the spaceman and his rocket don`t seem to match the rest. The sunlight is coming from the left but those particular shadows seem slightly offline. Can`t fault it apart from that. Although personally I would not have added the spaceman & rocket. I think it`s better to give the impression of a distant and undiscovered wilderness. But that just my preference, not a criticism of the image.

I use Terragen as well for land and moonscapes. Can`t beat it for realism.If you need to make realistic asteroids try out Blender. Andrew Price has a great tut on the subject.

The spaceman and rocket were very new for me, first time in fact. I could/should of improved the shadows (I honestly spent ages trying to get the right size and angle) but I didn't try to make it the main focus.

Thank you for the comment

February 29, 2012

Are you sure you haven't visited space? These are just too real! The planetscapes are well-thought out, different perspectives work well in each, and the way the light hits certain parts of the scape is just incredible. I hope you don't forget posting your work here. It shows what can be done in PDN.

Thank you It took me a long time to just get the basics for my latest stuff. My very early work.....a tad different xD

Kin

28/12/2017

When a star dies, there's a chance of it leaving behind a Neutron Star. It's the remnant of the star, yet you still feel the effects of it across the star system it is in.

This star is accompanied by a main-sequence star, roughly half way through it's life.

Rest in peace, dad. 14/12/64 - 02/12/17.

If you look carefully, you can see his name hidden among the stars near the top of the image.

Some very nice work in here. I'll have to stop in when I have more time and study them more closely. You should really think about joining in on the Space Art Competition sometime. It would be nice to see some of your works entered.

Hey, sorry for the longly awaited reply,

I would love to join the competition but I don't like being competitive. This is something i do in my free time when i am bored :L

I really like the first two, but the first one catches my eye for sure. Would love to see how you accomplished that.

Thank you for the comment Have you watched the video I linked below? It is a speed art of how i made it ^^

August 15, 2011

Your work is something to look at! Your spacescapes are amazing.I like what you did with the nebula-like thing in "Hidden Light." I'm glad you opened up this gallery.

Wow, thankyou That is pretty good motivation too.

Whenever I have free time I might add my odd other bits to it, but is the small descriptions helpful or needed at all?

August 15, 2011

This is my first attempt at a gallery and the first time I have showed any of my artwork on here.

Planets

There is actually a video of me making this picture

.

This is my most recent one. Due to the fact it was a wallpaper, the size was 1200 x 800 so I couldn't show the full image here.

Next is this one:

This was one of my quick yet more realistic pieces. I know the proportions are out, the moon is just less than twice the size than shown here and it is much further away but hey I don't want to be too realistic.

This one is a new attempt at a nebula. Since it looked increasingly plain as I went along, I chose to add a planet. On my DeviantArt, I called it 'Hidden Light'.

Next is a little different, I combined

W@@dy's Distant Tree line tutorial with a few more effects and voilà.

Finally, in a type of link with the first one of the Science Fiction genre, I made this one a while back

Another Movie adaption

This time, instead of Science Fiction I went for Horror

of me doing this. I have been told to do more of these

Again, horror style!

This is a

of my attempting it again.

I am enjoying these!

2 stocks were used for this image. The main room and the corridor.

I wanted to get the effect of the sun in this one, i think i got it

This was probably the first spacescape I was proud of

Well there is my first gallery attempt. Editing maybe needed to make it more neater but hey, if it gets good remarks I'll add more.

For anyone interested, most of my stuff can be seen at my

DeviantArt

June 22, 2011

I tried but my sun hasn't turned out right.

What am I doing wrong?

March 20, 2011

@BoltBait's Landscape plugin does quite a nice job for those who want a quick fix.

You could combine the two I guess

That is a very good plug-in but I found it slightly unreliable to black and white photos

March 19, 2011

shouldn't the sun be the origin for the zoom blur?

I tried that and found for much difference but you could =)

I'll add it into the tutorial ^_^

March 19, 2011

This tutorial is available as a PDF. Click here to view or download it

My first tutorial

We are changing this:

image.png.5718f5a6a63309ed78bc9c377d20d55c.png

To this:

1#

Duplicate Layer

On the top layer make it Sepia

Adjustments > Sepia

2#

Select the magic wand tool, select the appropriate tolerance and delete the ground on the Sepia layer

image.png.a8ea8398feebfabb8e1420eaaec975b9.png

3#

Add a new layer

Set the blend most to overlay

Select the paintbrush and colour in the sky, you don't have to be too careful with this

The colour I used was Hex: #87FDFF

image.png.21513a848d3eb745ae9ffc93d4c832cb.png

4#

Add a small Gaussian Blur

Effects > Blurs > Gaussian Blur

I used a blur of 35

image.png.fc24d31e931a8689761a772d3071ff1c.png

5#

Flatten Layers

Image > Flatten

6#

Duplicate layer

Add a Zoom Blur

Effects > Blurs > Zoom Blur

And set the Zoom Amount to 100

If you want a more realistic effect, put the offset on to the point of the light source (in this case, the sun)

image.png.b91f7b3aa8e9d0edac2f28c8a42d419b.png

7#

Set the Blend Mode to Lighten and the Layer opacity to about 153 (experiment)

image.png.5317543be67040fb87f619a0089c4166.png

8#

Flatten again

Image > Flatten

image.png.3a88b6fbb534712dc0e2d5166eb8006d.png

I hope this tutorial was helpful.
