Looks ok, but the planet isn't spherical at all, makes it seem like a flat circle and not a sphere at all. Also, the starfield lacks any kind of diversity, nebulae, etc.

Take a look at <a href='http://gallery.artofgregmartin.com/tuts_arts/making_a_planet.html' target='_blank'>this tutorial</a> and <a href='http://gallery.artofgregmartin.com/tuts_arts/making_a_star_field.html' target='_blank'>this one</a> which might be able to help you out on both fronts.

And for some kind of example, i made both of the following two images using both the starfield and planet tutorials, and they came out pretty well. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

Svenpa · February 2005

Now I see it thanks.

I really like the cirkels around the planet they are high quality. The rest needs some more glow and darkness I think.

thats pretty much that one finished, not much more i can do without using the tuts posted above. thanks for them by the way, i practised them on another document, theyl help me make much more detailed stare scenes than my first one above <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

Much better... <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

Try to get rid of black outline around planet...

And you see the darker parts of bright areas became gray... Do not use burn tool with highlights option... Or do not make shadows with pure black... It will look cooler if you can get rid of that grays; add some red there...

Svenpa · February 2005

oookay I can only see a unclickable "user posted image" again. Is this firefox fault?

[Deleted User] · February 2005

no my host is being **** again
got rid of the black outline

Would be nice.

Svenpa · February 2005

to the image above the last one... it looks like a giant tractor beam is sucking something off the planets surface..

Is that supposed to be reflected light?

Remember planets don't generate their own light and require other light sources (such as suns/stars), if you got rid of that "tractor beam" going out into space on the top-left side.. it would look pretty cool imo..

Lt.Realness · March 2005

wow! the last pic looks great! I like the change of the complete color and it looks kinda the galaxy is collapsing <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

Shields up Mr.Worf!! =)

[Deleted User] · March 2005

thx realness <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

and zunni, that little bit of light coming out in the top left coner was an accident, it happend when i was fidling with my gradients <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

i just left it in for effect, but il see what i can do <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd-fix.gif' />
