Starfields and Space Imagery Challenge/tute

[Raven]

Once upon a time.... we had a link posted somewhere around here on how to make starfields, nebulas, planets,etc. in PS. I thought I'd post it again for any others who might want to experiment with PS painting of space scenes. http://gallery.artofgregmartin.com/t...tar_field.html

There's lots of cool ways to make the space scenes and fx -- give it a go, it's loads of fun too!

Here's one I painted in PS using some of the ideas in the tute.

Very nice Raven, and that's from someone who doesn't really care much about "space" scenes for some reason. Funny considering I'm such a nature person. Maybe they don't go hand in hand thoguh.

Anyway, nice work as usual. 8))

Many thanks for checking this out, Ric! I learned a lot from trying things/methods from this tute...so it can be used in many other ways besides doing space type scenes, etc. Hey, and there's no reason why people can't add other things and creatures to the space scenes too if they'd like...that would be great as well! ;)

[p?tr?]

Here's one I did. I was just messing around and experamenting.

Sorry Raven, I don't have time just now. PS CS2 just got delivered and I'm going to install it right now. However here's a five minute cheat.

[Raven]

How COOL!! Hey Welles I just installed CS2 on my puter moments ago and got it registered -- IT WORKS 2!!! 8D No problems with it here, I don't see any slow down at all everything zips along like a flash and files open, etc. as they should --- OH GOODY GOODY!

Nice planet, Welles!

[Raven]

Just had to create this doodle with PS CS2 when I got it this afternoon (gees, at first I thought I'd forgotten how to link layers as CS2 changed this! [confused] )...anyway, painted style/moonflowers was some of the inspiration with this one (they only bloom at night). 8[ 8[

Love the space pics. :}

Here's a quick picture to keep the thread alive. I may add more to it later when I have more time/
