Oh, my lord, I /want/ this!!!! I /love/ the veiny planet!! It's simply amazing. I'm still trying to comprehend how you did it. One slight tiny gripe tho... There's not enough of that mind boggleingly lightless black of space so up close it looks slightly flat. Just slightly. I'm only offering a humble oppinion while I bow to your amazing skills. XD Srsly tho..mind blowing...

Yeah... you're right... hey, it was my first shot at space art, give me a break! I'll get it right... eventually...

...Or maybe for Tuesday... heh... weeeee'll see.

I followed a tutorial. (hides) [link]

Bow to HIS amazing skills, mine are nothing.

PLANET!!!!! <3 Is that the end tho?? Is there going to be more?? o.o The clicky thingy won't let me view the bigger version tho..sad..

The end of the comic? No. (dies) That would be ignominious to say the least. The planet's simply been 'returned to dark' which'll be explained later.

There's a link in the news below it, it should let you view the larger version.

Yeah, I tried that and my browser wouldn't download or some stupid thing. >.<
Whew, it better not be the end. It just sort of seemed like a chapter ending or something. Anyway.

calthyechild In reply to DeadWizard [2008-08-27 06:13:50 +0000 UTC]

You're right, it is sort of a chapter end, except there's another couple pages. XD

So close.

Weird, my friend could open it. Must be your browser or ComicGenesis was being finicky. I guess I can put up the page and link to it on DeviantArt as well.

Firefox drives me nuts sometimes, but as far as webdesign goes, you have to have it.

calthyechild In reply to DeadWizard [2008-08-31 10:38:48 +0000 UTC]

Well, as far as web design goes you need IE 6, IE 7, Firefox and Opera and Safari, as a general rule, to test in--all the main browsers. XD

DeadWizard In reply to calthyechild [2008-09-09 05:22:14 +0000 UTC]

I should have the other two, but I can't stand cluttering up my computer with useless stuff I'll never use. I also get fed up with having to test in just two or three browsers, so God knows what I'd do with 5

Lol. There's a browser tester, I forget the URL, but if you google or search for it.. there's a site that you can submit your site to and it'll test it on all browsers.

schee sticks.

so the veiny-ness of the foremost planet is officially my favorite texturytype section... the balance of the two planets in the light of the nebula is a little funky, but I'm not really complaining. since I can't really say anything about landscape-y non-person-type art at all... yeah. Glowy.

calthyechild In reply to bearerofnaraithas [2008-08-16 22:49:54 +0000 UTC]

I liked that too but someone else doesn't like my planet textures so I guess I have to keep trying, heh...

I like the balance and the light, so HAH.

Not that I know anything either, I was just doing glowy.

You painted that! OoooOOoooh, that is gorgeous! /emote abuse!

Make a wallpaper of it?

calthyechild In reply to dragonrider [2008-08-15 22:30:14 +0000 UTC]

What resolution? (pokes the download link) It's plenty big, it's just tall and not wide. My own resolution is 1440x900 so I tend to make things big enough for that size of wallpaper...

I did indeed paint it. (makes petition to save abused emoticons) And I was indeed very happy with it, and equally happy that it received a tiny bit more attention than I normally would with my crap. ^_^ I even got a few favs from random people. YAY.

Very nice, good start! Your planets could use some work, just check out some nasa textures
Keep it up! Awesome nebula!

I was following a tutorial for planet creation, actually. My choice of texture might not have been the best (I hate using tutorial supplied resources, because then mine looks like it was done using that tutorial), but then, does anyone say all planets have to look alike?

I have already gone hunting for some new textures on sxc.hu, though... I knew they were subpar... see, my collection is mostly paper textures. XD But I have a few good rock textures now and I'll use them next time.

I dunno if I'll keep it up too much, I'm a people artist more than a space artist, but I do think I'll try more. The nebula was way fun.

Thanks for commenting!

Yeah, I guess I did have it in me or it wouldn't be here. I can't do animals, though. I just draw people. Some landscapy stuff. Mostly just crappy figures, though.

Thanks for the comment!
