Description Solstice, "The moment when the sun stops".

--------------
Used photoshop 7.0. Over 50 layers, taking up who knows how much time (very broken up based on work, ideas (or lack of ideas at times)). Mad props go to the dobofdob for the render [link] again. I'll learn 3d sometime... soon... Hopefully this will be my last deviation with a borrowed render. I no longer use anyone else brushes and rarely like tutorials when I can avoid them, so hopefully I'll be able to only use my own 3d as well.

I also uploaded solstice without the render into my scraps, if anyone wants to check out what all of the photoshop work looks like.

This is only my second large scale piece, so any comments, ideas, anything is encouraged. The background also happens to be my first ever spacescape. I'll probably have something more refined along those lines. This one worked well (I think) as it was a small part of the piece, whereas I don't think it could have stood alone as a deviation.

Hehe, thank you. I usually don't know what I'm doing half of the time anyway. I'll see something in my head and decide, hmm, that might work. Lets try that. (okay, so I'm plural now ?) Either that, or I'll already have in mind that I want to experiment with something (in this case the starry background).

hmm, nice colours and lighting, the stars fit alot better than i would have thought...

i like the black and white of the render, it gives the piece a kind of space/tech feel, good job

Click on the emotion legend link below your post to bring up a list of emotions you can use. Just type in whatever code it says to the left of an emotion wherever you want it in your post. I can understand a lot of the confusion of being new, as I've been around for less than a month now myself (though I did lurk around the site a little before I joined).
