Artist's Comments

Here's some more practice! This is actually a bunch of practise work with planets and the Wacom over many weeks, all compiled into one mini-piece. Because it is from so many different practise sessions, I can't really give time/layer stats or anything. It did take several hours to put everything together, though. This time I naturally focused on learning to use the Wacom as well as developing some planet techniques. How do they look?

the starfield looks a bit weird and the bigger stars dont fit and hmm the planet rings also look a bit off =7 but I like the bottom left corner and its blue planets they look great

The starfield doesn't look finished and the bigger stars don't fit. The ring could also be improved a lot, but I must say, the nebula in the left corner with the planet looks just great!=D Very nice brushing and colour use!

Haha- the stars are pretty dumb looking here. I had no idea it looked like that on the screen it was created on. And, those aren't dodge strokes- but I do agree on this monitor they are very easy to see. It will all be fixed soon! I noticed a few more things too.

Thanks!!

Yeah, the star field isn't finished. I think the monitor I made this on wither has greater contrast or is darker. There were actually relatively few stars visible how I saw it in Photoshop. On this monitor (most monitors, probably) it just looks silly, though. I think the bigger stars will seem to fit more once the star field is fixed (soon!).

Thanks much for the feedback- very much appreciated. I'm glad you like the nebula!!!
Be well! :)

Thanks! Yep- some of the major problems will be fixed later today. The issue was that it simply did not look the same on the monitor that it was created on. I'll have to check my calibration. I think I agree about the ring- I'll have to tweak with it when I fix the stars later.

Thanks much! :)

Yeah I have the same problems sometimes with my monitor. It happens to me all the time that I see the less stars but when I hit the 'ok' button, suddenly it looks ugly. Anyway, i'd love to see the fixed image;) I'm sure it'll be nice!
Anytime mate!:)
