Another spectacular work of art, I wouldn't have the patience to make something as detailed as this. These looks so authentic I'd swear they were pictures taken from satellites or ground-based telescopes. The colors in this are very vibrant; keep up the awesome work (yet again)!

You should be pretty happy with this one. It's amazing. Mmm...Aurora Borealis? Beautiful work. A fave for sure.

I am astonished.. such detail and excellent use of colours.. it's great.

You've used the stars and planets to your advantage.. they add those little details that make the whole more impressive, while not overpowering everything into a chaos.

The way you made the nebulae is great.. there is a great sense of depth .. it's almost like you look into the nebulae. The way you let the colours taper off into the nebulae really help with this impression. The way you made the black part go in front of the rest of the nebulae also adds to that. It creates a whole new plane in this image. However the planets in front of it seem to be lighted from the nebulae. If you hold a pencil in front of burning lightbulb, you'll see that the shadow gets larger the further away you go. So i don't think these planets should have any lighting at all.

The lightbeams are great.. they give a sense of how much energy that nebulae has. Also it gives some nice effects on the planets and nebulae-parts in the surrounding areas. It really makes everything seem like a whole. It all fits together and is influenced by each other. But when you look at some of your planets that are affected by the beams, you don't have a shadow behind them. They block the light from travelling further, however i don't see that with all your planets.

The colours you used is great: Blue-orange combination are always a favourite of mine. Now you added red to it and it's very succesful. Although they are really only bits of colour on the outerrim of the nebulae, it's this excellent use which creates the depth and the beauty of this image.

I have been nitpicking a bit, but overall this is one splendid image. It's absolutely great.

Woooo...Craig...What an amazing piece!!! I see the stars in the backdrop..so peaceful and unaware of the action taking place before them. The explosion of power and light you've created is very moving...The techniques you've used, are totally beyond my sphere of reference...but let me say, that whether I understand how you did it or not, doesn't change the impact they've had on me. The blast of colour errupting from the intrusion of the "fireball" is powerful, not to mention beautiful..and I truly appreciate the hours of planning and wonderful work you put into this one...Wonderful work!!!

Now first off I must say it is an honor to know you as a friend and artist on da
I also would like to say I have never seen such exquisite beauty in my life
this just made my jaw drop but in a good way
I like the colors
33 hours
wow that's alot of hard work
you did a very nice job on this
how you crafted it all together
when I look at it I see a set of hands in a way
coming out of the formation
let me know if you see it
that's really cool looking
the title not only caught my eye but it also made me ask myself if I'd ever see such a marvel
of beauty like this ever again
wow my friend you have extreme talent
are nebula's that bright
this is a slight suggestion
could you maybe make some series from this?
you don't have to
just thought I'd give a warming ing thought here
I like how you just mixed and blended and perfected it really well
it's just so amazing you can't take your eyes off it
it's like looking at one of those spinning things and you just dont' want to look away
it traps you in but in a good way
I think the 33 hours of working on this is very well deserved
you worked hard on it and it shows
I like how your works just get more amazing every time I read them or see them
this one not only caught my eye
but I was drooling
that's how pretty and beautiful it was to look
couldn't help but express myself
a nice tribute to that guy as well
I'm gonna have to read up on him sometime
I think it was great even though it took you a long time to create
sometimes the things that take the longest to make are the ones you worked the hardest on
just food for thought
hehe
There is nothing you have to fix on this. I love how you have kingdom above the nebula or clouds
just amazing
a real mind blower when it comes to detail
physique
expression
individuality and so on and so forth
I think you get the idea
you have a ly day and night my friend
God be with you always

Now, I would like to incorage my self so much, that I would sit 33 hours on one drawing! I just can't make myself do it @_@ though I know that I would become much batter If would do it.
That is beautiful! I love the colors, they're so vivd!

Please take a look at position 860x,720y (pixel coordinates), you made a mistake with this planet there I think.

*falls off chair*

yipes... this is absolutely breathtaking. at first, when i noticed you left a comment on my space piece, i was just sort of like, thats a nice comment. now that i've seen your gallery, im just sort of like, thats a wonderful compliment. thanks for that

my favorite part of this is where the blue transitions into the black/magenta cloud. the cloud texture in 3rd dimension caught my eye at once and is one of the most amazing things done with that type of texture i have ever seen. if you made this in photoshop, you are a god among men (you're still a god among men if you didn't make it in photoshop too ), but i would like to know what program(s) were involved in the creation of this. i would have to saw the thing i like the least in this is the ray of light protruding from the top of the nebulae and shining on the planet. personally, i think it distracts from the nebula. im not too keen on the planets in front of the wispy orange nebula up top (the one that sorta looks like a sideways norway. hehe). one thing i think would be interesting is if you could incorporate the text above into the scene, rather than just white text on top of a picture. maybe it would distract from it, i don't know, but the white seems to distract too. i would also like to know, other than what program(s) you used, if this is the original size. if you have a larger one, i would be delighted to see it. overall, i give a 9.5 out of 10.

anything 9 or above get's a fav... i so just made that up. ah well... good theory to live by
