Description Yay I finally finished this!

I'm very happy with the outcome and very proud of myself with this piece. I tried to do a little bit of realism . Not sure how realistic it would be but I don't care I love it.

Almost 100 layers if I'm wrong. The nebulae alone was almost half that.

So yeah 's and comments are appreciated.

WOW very nice and sexy, just wondering how ur nebula is so sharp-ish and smooth looking all my attempts seem to make it pixelated.... any tips??

N3UR0N In reply to skiing4free [2008-11-22 14:46:44 +0000 UTC]

Just practice and practice. I use brushing and textures to get the shape I want. Also, start off really big so when you resize it it looks perfect.

Very nice work!
One little point: I'd remove some of the smaller stars to make the starfield a bit more random
But that's just my opinion.
Great work!

Ffs, now I need to try one :/

The nebula DOES look nice, I admit I wasn't expecting anything great from the thumbnail lol, thought maybe this would have been a quickie, but I see it's not

You must have a good computer, I would never dare use 100 layers, I don't think I've had anymore than 30 for one peice at any given time, and even that causes massive slow-downs and crashing too

Oh, OK then. I last used two PSD's for my "Force of Nature" deviation lol. because the first one became around 150MB and it took no less than a full minute to open in Photoshop

you suck and disappointing people.
how did you pull of the little lines/rays coming out of the neb?

N3UR0N In reply to DemosthenesVoice [2008-08-12 23:21:45 +0000 UTC]

lol wut??



For the lines it's simple. I made a new document, made it square. Filled with black and rendered some noise. Then I radial blurred it (zoom) and messed with the levels.

The key trick to making them look good is mess with opacity, levels, and sharpening them.

And I also erased some of the rays.
