Description
This is a deviation that I did for my photoshop class. It captures the birth of a planet. Just one warning, the full size is 1800 x 1350.Related content

Thank you. I'm glad you like the effect. It's mostly just piling layers, upon layers until you have an effect you like.

Very pretty. . . the red and pinkish purple tones are rather attractive. I like how the planet appears to be almost fiery by nature. . . the designs on its surface are just really cool!

awesome
i love the amount of detail in this, very good CG'ing
nice choice of colours, they compliment each other nicely and are right for the outer space feel.
great positioning of the planets,and having the fire planet up close, the fire effect is pretty cool, looks a bit like lava.
the border was also a nice touch, makes it look a bit like a poster

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. The fire is supposed to be lava, and the poster effect is intentional. I'm glad you approve of them.

Amazing work on the starfield, they can be really hard to get looking right. Only thing I'd suggest is scaling it down a bit, just because the image is 1800x1350 doesn't mean you have to upload that size. I'd also suggest some better shading on the planets, when you look at the moon from Earth, or photos of Earth, you can't really see the dark side (I know you can of the moon, but just barely due to Earthshine, in photos you can't). There are dozens of great planet tutorials on dA most of whichare very easy to follow.

The star feild took longer than the rest of it. My bit bit with the planets is how to shade them without makeing them seem like they're just slaped onto the starfeild. If you shade them too dark they look odd. Also any links to tutorials are always welcome. I know they're out there, but finding them is the tricky bit.

I'm not sure they would look odd. But that's just my opinion.

that should be enough to get started, search for planet tutorials on deviantart and you'll find a lot. I've used the first and third to create planets in "Space" and "Pointing to Utopia"

Thanks. I got most of the stuff for this one off solar voyager, but didn't really search DevArt. I'll go check those out and play around with them.

the planet looks really great, alot of nice details and stuff that a planet has. but it seems like there are more then one sun, since it seems like they get the lights from different places. because some of them seems a bit to bright. and it looks like the planet got the light from in front, while the moons from the side.
but other then that it's really a great pic!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you. The problem with the lighting is that bits of the planet are a light source, so it's brighter than it's moons. Also, the atmosphere makes a difference. The sun its self is casting the same shadows on everthing, it's just largely and opticle illusion.
