Description
Took about a day to create. My uberbest piece of space art I've created so far.Tried to make the nebula look like really pissed off sea.

Hi - this is exactly what I've been searching for to do as a big canvas print in my lounge. I can't download it and what's or sale is way too small. What's the chances of getting the file emailed so I can get it onto a canvas here in Australia? I'm happy to pay for it. Thanks. Tania

A little bit of space, water, and lightning. You did a great job!

So SO very pretty, it does look like a sea. And so light!
Really, I love how you got the colors to work out in this and it reflects so very nicely on that planet and moon.

I could write a critique but I'll just stick to a simple comment - the reason is - I'm not really fond of these apophis-like fractal nebulae. I don't work with them and don't consider them natural-looking (as space really is), so my opinion would be affected - but it's just my opinion - if you want to build your style on them, that's alright - look at what ^casperium can do with them.
I'm going to pin-point just a few things (positive and negative).
I can see why there is a small planet in the corner, but it doesn't help that much - the image is pretty much all about that central lighting and there is nothing more in it (basically). Work more sensitively with haze - that glow around the planet with the moon is just too much. At some parts I really like the starfield, but it's mostly pushed back by the maelstorm. Also, some of the stars seems wierdly stretched - this never helps. The last thing - I don't know if you diminished or stretched the whole picture, but in the fullview the maelstorm seems a bit LQ - blurred. Good spot on coloring (just a few purple spots here and there seems not necessary).

Doesn't planets atmosphere make it glow like that since there's so much light coming? 
The stars that look stretched are like umm.. other explosions far away (I don't stretch space pictures or anything in 'em anymore.. I found it's really bad thing and ruins your work)
Oh my... You see whole a lot of more stuff in my work than I see myself
Thanks! I'll try make next muuuuuuuuuch better and hopefully get DD!

Well, if you want to make a high-density atmosphere, than you should make the transition between the hard surface and the atmosphere much smoother. Just look around how other people make it.

Nicely done. I love the colour. Great little details as well.
