Description I'm really happy with the way this turned out. And it was fun to experiment with different color combinations! And yes I know there are no planets, I wasn't inspired to put any in.

Inspired by NGC 346

Painted from scratch with the programs Photoshop and Sai.
(Base texture and stars with Photoshop. Lots of detailing with Sai.)
About 8 hours, January 2012
4000 x 2473 300DPI

Thanks in advance for any comments, I do read them all and reply to as many as I can. All the faves really mean a lot too!

Nicely done.  

If space traveling think I'd stay away from it though.

Thanks Malacai. I've only just started to do space art, everyone has to start somewhere I guess. And Thanks for the watch!

SteveAllred In reply to DJDesco [2012-03-20 14:16:33 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, Getwatchers is pretty frustrating sometimes. Despite my best efforts, it still shows the same work over and over. Sorry.

DJDesco In reply to SteveAllred [2012-03-20 15:39:32 +0000 UTC]

But it doesn't do that with any other artist or picture, in over 1000 views... Maybe it's you?

Consider submitting a bug report or something.

SteveAllred In reply to DJDesco [2012-03-20 15:55:00 +0000 UTC]

. . . hmmm that is puzzling. I took that picture out and changed a bunch of others. Hopefully that fixes it. Thanks for the letting me know.
