Welcome to my art thread. Here I would like for you to post any and all spaced themed art that you have made. This thread can also be used to discuss things about the art posted here. When I say spaced theme, I mean actual space. Not something out of a sci-fi movie. Here are some examples:
http://www.lucasforums.com/picture.php?albumid=377&pictureid=3348)
An artistic rendering of a black hole devouring a star.
http://www.lucasforums.com/picture.php?albumid=377&pictureid=3349)
An artistic rendering of a nebula.

This is the kind of art to post. Please use hidden tags to save space.
I might also add that I made these myself.

Alkonium: If they aren't working here, check them out in my album here (http://www.lucasforums.com/album.php?albumid=377).

Canderis: Thanks bro. I'm thinking about doing a supernova next.

Very well done! I would have used actual images from space, but these artistic versions are very accurate. You must be very proud!

I could try that...
Meanwhile, I've got another one:

I feel like I cheated on this one. I used a picture of earth and added my lighting effects and the starfield to it.

Hey dude nice pics, you might wanna consider exploring with the options a bit.
From what i can see. You're definitely using Gimp 2.0, am I right?
You used the following methods..

"Light and shadows" = Nova preset...
"Artistic" = cartoon-ify settings...
"Static"...

If you enjoy creating space scénes, you might enjoy this link:
CLICKY (http://www.solarvoyager.com/tutorials.asp)

Its more geared towards realistic scenes though, but it should be easy to take more artistic approach.

Complements on finding those filters, on certain images its a bit to obvious.
But thats just minor critics :p

Another linky about making planets:
CLICKY2 (http://designreviver.com/inspiration/31-breathtaking-planet-space-tutorials-for-photoshop/)

Awaiting new stuff :)

Found an old image I made myself:

Here's a planet I just made using my new-and-improved CS4. (Sorry about the weird half-blurred low-rez planet. I challenged myself to make EVERYTHING using a single tool.)

you could get a free trial. 30 days.

That would be fun, but I might keel over when the trial ends.

I'm actually using the free trial version of CS2 for my mods.

Yeah, I suggest you get the Trial. And I think if you reset your clock date on your computer you can still use it. (I think, 'cause I only did that once, and for a really old program.)

Did you use the Render - Clouds thingimagigger? For the Base Tex? (That's what I used for the planet. And stars. And Nebula-what-ca-ma-callit in the background of mine.)
