Description So I was looking at this gorgeous piece here , a Doctor Who thingy, and I was reading the artist's comments, and they opened with this magnificent quote:

Look at the sky. It's not dark and black and without character... the black is, in fact, deep blue. And over there: lighter blue, and blowing through the blues and blackness the winds swirling through the air and then shining, burning, bursting through: the stars! And you see how they roar their light. Everywhere we look, the complex magic of nature blazes before our eyes.
and i got really excited and inspired, and my sister was like "What's it like to be inspired?" and I told her, "It's like being run over by a train, and the only way to survive is to let it out." Which really made no sense, now that I think about it. XD

Seriously, go look at that Doctor Who piece. It's incredible XD I do the quote no credit.
And no, this itself is not inspired by the painting. It's just the quote. XD

Oh look wallpaper! and HD!

Here's what you can do with two brushes and a little 'fantasy .. How long did it take you for this job? Congratulations anyway

Esherymack In reply to Soulgraphica [2013-02-24 14:22:11 +0000 UTC]

This piece took me about three hours' worth of playing with saved fractals on my old computer (in fact, the very same ones I used for my Knot Nebula picture), adjusting noise, filling in blank space with seemingly pointless scribbling, and daubing with big fuzzy brushes XD I had a hard time getting the noise for the background stars just right, considering that I actually screwed up and forgot to put it in first, but I think it worked (:

Amazing!
I'm curious as to what technique you used to achieved this level of details!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Esherymack In reply to Stamga [2013-01-04 01:44:39 +0000 UTC]

Honestly, I scribble XD Thin brushes and such, give it a layer with a blur filter (actually, to achieve these colours, what I do is I paint my base colour on a coloured background, and then add all the details using a black layer set to colour dodge (i think?) and painting on it in white.) and add stars using a noise technique and a few bright fuzzy brushes on linear dodge c: Merge the whole thing and auto sharpen it twice, and it produces these results.

Thanks so much!

I agree whole-heartedly with your explanation of being inspired. Trust me, I feel that way every time my muse hits me with an idea.

Beautiful piece.

Yeah, I felt kinda silly telling her about that (since most people are normally dead when a train hits them...) but it was the only thing that even made sense at the time >.> Thank you, thanks for commenting too
