Description Ok so my title's a bit lame. Doing another tutorial on how to make realistic looking star fields. Thought I'd try my hand at making a dragon constelation.

The two planets are actually brushes by Qzma [link] painted over.

The rest is done using his tutorials on how to paint different galactic effects with layered filters and soft brushes.

Overall a great effect. "clap: I think that the dragon constellation could have used a couple more points of reference (i.e. stars). Maybe at the tail and a couple at the feet? Great piece of work though. Love it.

Katied2 In reply to Sleyf [2006-06-12 13:20:01 +0000 UTC]

I did, and the nebula as well. The tiny background stars are made via a filter called 'noise' in photoshop. Thank you!

Sleyf In reply to Katied2 [2006-06-12 13:22:34 +0000 UTC]

Ooooh! Very good! I always wondered why anyone would want to add noise to their picture! Now I know! Ah ha!

It just makes tiny pixelated spots which you can increase in size/brighten, etc.

Hey I'll have to try that sometime, I always remove the noise from my pictures to despeckle it
