The Eagle nebula.

I had some fun painting my favorite type of nebula, an emission nebula.

Wow this was a long one... like 13 hours I think? I guess im not too fast

Experimented with light sources a bit.

's are appreciated.


Nebula imagery from NOAO/AURA/NSF

I missed getting a deviation in last Wednesday because I was busy.

Tried a title and a signature this time

just one that i made a few days ago. let me know how you like it and leave a comment.

Heaven just got done with this peace took 4-5 hours not sure and over 50-60 layers not sure quit counting after 30 but im very happy the way it came out and so is

I used the Pillars of creation picture not sure where I got it but that's what Google is for huh

Got the nebula picture from here.

Still working on it, I plan to add more later.

Any advice is very much appreciated
I personally like this but ill prob hate it soon haha
I wish i could request critiques so this is my effort, please critique
texture from nasa

PS: download looks way sharper imo

Edit: Changed some stuff up from feedback, havent gotten to all of it yet though, changed the angle of the planet

More practice painting
I would love any comments/critiques/advice
If u want wallpaper download and rotate in paint, i just like the vertical view more

I DONT THINK ANYONE READS THIS BUT DOWNLOAD FOR FAR BETTER QUALITY

I just dream about another finer beauty-side of minds undiscovered, hiding under covers lemme climb up in it sit and wonder, about a distant lover or about a mother, makes you ponder about creation, All I Am Is Creative.
Blu's a fuckin genius

I might save title for something better, as always any form of advice or critique is immensely welcomed
Let me know what u think

I have had an idea about Black Holes lately.

What if they didnt look like a monster in space? What if it was a beautiful scenery, but a lethal one?

Black Hole's Beauty in 1179 x 1600

Enjoy!

Well, after my Spectre multi display wallpaper pack. I thought i could do more with some of the scenery and planets. So i went back to one of my initial thoughts about scale, so i added a mountain and some distand land just to give some perspective to the planet (the one that the POV is taken from)

And what is a image done by me without space, so i added space (of course) and i try to learn aboutlighting and how it affects the scenery (i think i got it right with the mountains and planets)

So i hope you like it, and i will come back with some more once they are done

untill then, have a nice day and i will see you in a few

So i was thinking the other day that instead of just come up with new things, i could try to alter the ideas i have had from previous work. So what i did was that i took a look at Consumption (one of my previous works [link] ) and i thought "What can i do different second time around?"

I didn't want to deviate too far from the consept of the original piece. So after some work, this is the results.

So enjoy, hope you like it.


Starset in 2560 x 1600.

After countless system crashes I decided to submit this as it is. I wanted to remake the nebula but I'm not willing to kill my nerves and waste my time anymore on this PC. I will make another version of this as soon I have my new PC in my hands.
I think its not that bad at all so I thought Ill submit it, maybe some of you will like this.

Realism was completely left behind for this one because I wanted to create a nice and colorful fantasy/spacey thing.
I used own made fractals and fractal brushes to make the nebula. I had a lots of fun with it until the system crashes began.
The planets are 3D and they were made in PS.

My main inspiration were the Antennae Galaxies [link] and the song "Zentriert Ins Antlitz - Where Their Dreams Live" which I listened a lot while I created this piece
You can check this song on youtube:
Zentriert Ins Antlitz - Where Their Dreams Live (Remix by Access to Arasaka) - [link]
Zentriert Ins Antlitz - Where Their Dreams Live - [link]
The first one is a remix version by AtA which I recommend to listen, it has a very dark and futuristic mood but the original version is nice too, its more "dreamy"

Done in Apophysis and Photoshop CS5 in approx 12 hours over two weeks or so

C&C are most welcome since I'd like to make another version of this one day.

Cheers

Another piece which I started as practice. I wanted to create something like this [link] but with more detail. I think it turned out quite good.
I dont have the time now to render a nice landscape so I used a stock image [link]
Maybe I will change the landscape later...

Done in PS CS5 in approx 5 hours.

C&C are most welcome.

Thanks for looking!

Hy! Its time to show you some of my new works...I was kinda busy with random meaningless things but meanwhile I made a lot of landscape renders and planets so I thought Ill mix something up for a scene.

Also, this piece is dedicated especially for the new Access to Arasaka album "Geosynchron". I listened to it while I made this scene and I really love the song "Alcyone"

You can listen it here: [link]
Great futuristic/spacey music. Just excellent music for making space

Done in Vue and PS in approx 8 hours (+-1.5h render time)

Thanks for looking! Any feedback is greatly appreciated!!!

----------

Alcyone (η Tau, η Tauri, Eta Tauri) is a star system in the constellation Taurus. It is the brightest star in the Pleiades open cluster, which is a young cluster, aged at less than 50 million years. Alcyone is approximately 370 light years from Earth. It is named after the mythological figure Alcyone, one of the mythological Pleiades. It is known as (the Sixth Star of the Hairy Head) in Chinese.Contents

The main star, known as Alcyone A, is a blue-white B-type giant similar to many of the other B-type stars in the Pleiades cluster. It has an apparent magnitude of +2.87 (absolute magnitude = −2.39), and a radius almost 10 times that of the Sun. Its temperature is approximately 13,000 K giving it a total luminosity that is 2,400 times solar. The spectral type of B7IIIe indicates that emission lines are present in its spectrum. Like many Be stars, Alcyone A has a high rotational velocity of 215 km/s, which has created a gaseous disk flung into orbit around the star from its equator.

Hi there... it as been too long since i uploaded eny thing here on DA so... i made this today (13-11-2011) in a few hours (not sure how many)

"Dark Days" Artist's Description:

I'm sorry for the lame title
It's partly based on this particular weekend for me (which at the moment might be leveling off), and partly based on a song by The Used.

It's really so dark, I have a hard time working on it, so I'm not sure exactly if I think it looks good. But for the most part it's okay

And I do recommend full view.

Standard fare for tools. Photoshop, Apophysis, Bryce, some satellite images heavily modified, and layers of upon layers.

I would appreciate a if you download

"Empty Rumours" Artist's Description:

There's a long and most likely uninteresting story behind how this image got it's name and why I created it the way I did.
But as it is long and most likely uninteresting, I'll save telling it for now.

*Edit - So I guess I goofed a bit on some of my files and saved as the wrong type or with diminished quality. So please forgive me if these look excessively dark or saturated; I'll try to fix it.


I would appreciate a if you download

lens flare in after effects
didn't really use any 'one' tech for rings. painted over them a bit.

sorry for lack of enthusiasm. wanted more from it. wanting to start playing with 3d... have the means, just not using them... been playing minecraft online waayyyyyy to much.... it's my life right now.... --__--

[Edit: I made a sort of tutorial of how I made this here: [link] ]

............not much to say.

...more experimenting.

.........stayed up all night... --_--

....cloud brushes.....

Enjoy!

just bought an art tablet.
getting a feel for it.
feels good.

decided to do a supernova.

wound up trying a bunch of things I had no idea how to do.

but they all worked great.

used several different tech's to give high definition to the clouds.
added craters to the moon.
used the pen tool to make solar flares.

I'm very happy with it.

Yeahh! I would like to show you a brand new space picture I'm really proud of this one. To make Ashes I used Apophysis ( nebula ) and of course Photoshop.

I appreciate fav's, comments. If you have any suggestions or questions leave comment.

I finished next SA picture. This time it is vertical image. I always want to do something like this. I'm really proud of Heavy Rain. What do you think about this one?
I appreciate fav's, comments and critiques. If you have any suggestions or questions leave comment.
