Ok, I finally got a version of the tutorial that Nadril used *that actually had images to go by*, and it REALLY helped. Here is my 4th, and by far the best, planet that I've done.

It's 1000x1000 pixels big, but I managed to keep the file size around 61 KBs for quick and painless loading :o Oh and Nadril, thanks for getting me comletely hooked on the planet making thing, now I have even less of a life than I used to

Sweet, nice work.

Nice detail. It so, um , "in the dark on things". Be even nicer maybe if it was done with sun view, showing more color details.

Thats pretty nice. And now since I have learned to do some more stuff with photoshop I am pretty addicted to it now too. Spent around 5 hours straight on it, just left my homework and crap and worked with photoshop.

Wow man you got some serious talent goin on with that program. Keep it up i hope to see more. Ever thought of doing a more alien looking planet?

Also is there a way you can meka it my desktop resolution? 1024 x 768?

Here you go Bones. This time I kept the quality as high as possible while still being below the Photobucket limit of 250 KBs. I also experimented with a different star technique I though of besides preset brushes and/or noise as well as a decent looking nebula. Hope you like it

absolutely stunning back ground Zuljin. keep up the good work man.

That is very nice.

Wow. Thats impressive!

Wish I could do stuff like that!

 

keep up the good work!

Ok, thanks for the comments. I fixed the crappy stars, added some other hues to the nebula and made it look less solid and I added rings to the prominent planet. what do you think of the new and improved space scene?

wow got myself another desktop. is that earth like planet the only one you have i think if you had a few different planets of different colours it would spice things up a bit. And keep up the good work.
