Fusion

F U S I O N


Yay!! Another nebula from me, this one actually took a little bit longer than most because of the detail. It is not perfect and it is alot like "Electric", but I still like it. I worked a lot on the framing and title, so that is another thing I am proud of. Once again going for the "Aero-Glass" look with the frame, I really like that. Yes, the F in Fusion is oversharpened, for a reason. It accentuates the title.

Mainly just practicing my technique here. I wanted more highlights on the nebulae gas strokes, so I made a new layer and painted with a 1-pixel wide brush on Linear Dodge for the highlights on the gas clouds.

Thanks to , , and for help, critique, support, and inspiration.

EDIT

Brushed out the texture in the central bar of the nebula and added planets, extra stars, and star flares. Also sharpened the overall image and fixed the F in Fusion. You can see the original, without corrections, here: [link]
