Description
Been wanting to make a nebulae like this for a while now. I think it looks pretty okay. Spent a lot of time on the shape of this bad boy. It's an eye, if you couldn't tell.Painted in photoshop about 7 hours
No textures, fractals, or photos.
Fav, comment, and all that jazz

Very striking! A wonderful dance between blisteringly hot blues/whites to cooler oranges/reds. Incredibly fine detail throughout the piece with no visible lacking sectors anywhere. Truly wonderful and majestic piece.
Where to improve; After studying a photo of a real nebula (Helix Nebula) I noticed that the detail of the "debris" between the super nova and the space dust is being thrown away from the center in a very direct manner (imagine 1 point perspective lines). In your painting however, there are, in my opinion, too many wispy tails that seem to sway around too much that show it wasn't that strong an explosion (the blue sector). Another thing I noticed that although the very fine lines within the clouds add an incredible level of detail, some areas of the lines look very much like they were in fact drawn and not "formed in space". I would recommend running a smudge pass over these lines just to break up the perfect flow of them. It's a time consuming process but it makes the clouds look that much more fuller, fluffier and realistic. This is of course if your intended effect was to be super-realism. Otherwise, truly beautiful.

A lens to the Expanse,
An Eye toward the Unknown,
Just look through it,
If you will take that Chance,
And the Universe you will be Shown.

Red and Green.
Blue and Orange.
Yellow and Purple.Β Β
Two different colors that are the opposite to one another, just like in the color wheel.
Now that's very creative.
Anyway, Nice image.

I love how the individual elements completely look like nebula and gas clouds, but as a whole it has the appearance of a glowing eye. Also love the colors you chose! I definitely added this to my favorites!
I would like to add this to the "Spacescapes - Digital" gallery at the Space-Vistas group. (And, of course, you are welcome to join the group!)

Idk if this is ok to ask but... How do you do it? I really want to make art like this, I can't find any youtube videos on the basic setup, like what do you do? This is gorgeous.

Very nice interpretation of the Helix Nebula. I as a Photoshop expert wonder how you have done it.

Incredible work. Would like to see a version without the bright start in the centre of the pupil too. Amazing stuff.

I am doing some corrections - adding your name and linking your site to the comments - over at Pinterest. As you noted, people cut off your name and link: at Pinterest, they then add something like nasa.gov as the source Β

NO! I found its creator! That is amazing, I'm sure I could think of other words to describe such marvelous work but right now I'm still a bit surprised that out of nowhere I found who created this piece of art. Thank you for it!Β

Thanks, I know this image has ended up all over the place, usually with my signature and website cropped off. Glad you were able to find me.

Some "facts book" account with 1.5M followers just tweeted saying that this was a real nebula called "the Eye of the Cosmos" and that this picture here was taken from the Hubble Telescope. Sounds like copyright infringement to me, thought you might want to know

do you know the link?

Sure do, and if it doesn't work, I can give you another one. People are already sticking up for you in the comments cx

Thanks, I left a little comment on it. How are they gonna be about "facts" and mistake my art for a Hubble image? Not even close.

Stunning.
I was looking for a 2560x1440 image of the actual Helix Nebula for my work iMac, and images of that size -that I really want to look at for days at a time- are few and far between.Β Your image knocked me back in my seat for a moment.Β The reason I found your identity is that I wanted to know what space-based telescope took THAT photo!Β Eventually I realized that the image was too spectacular to be a photograph, and that it must be a created work.Β (The smaller 'pupil' in your image is what finally gave it away.)Β Eventually the search led me to your page here on Deviant.Β
I have no criticisms to offer, I merely sit in slack-jawed appreciation.Β
.....wow....
