Well, this is turning out kind of awesome, eh?. It’s not exactly the way I want it yet, and so I’m still going to be working on this for at least the next day. There’s still a whole lot more I want to add, and by the time it’s done it should have a lot more detail. That being said, there is such a thing as too much detail. Maybe keeping it relatively simple and colorful is the way to go. That’s something I’ll have to think about more.
If I was ever going to Photoshop the Death Star into any of my drawings, I guess today is the day to do it. I’ve seen so many “May the fourth be with you” posts today that I’m personally a bit tired of it, but seeing as I didn’t really have any drawing plans set out for today, the idea kind of snuck up on me and here we are. There’s a Death Star in my Photoshopness.
I was planning to do so much more today, but everything I was working on wasn’t really turning out. It was a lot more like experimenting really. I ended up spending the entire afternoon with my sister and my youngest niece at some kids safety day playroom thing. She had a blast, but was very tuckered out by the time we all got home. My feet are killing me, and I’m about ready to take a nap.
Thankfully, I worked on a few artwork related things beforehand, because I wasn’t really in the mood when I got home. It’s tough enough to find something to type up in this post! I’ll likely get back to it later tonight, but I want to finish this post just in case I do decide to sleep early. Tomorrow is another day, and I’m still holding onto a few ideas that I want to get down on virtual paper.
Hey there you lovely people. I tried my hand at creating a ringed planet today, and though for a first effort it’s quite decent, there’s something not quite right about it. I mean, when it comes to what little we know about what’s visually out there in the insanely vast cosmos, I guess anything is possible. I just have this feeling that the rings are too large, or too close to the planet. Anyways, I’m not close to done yet and that home star looks pretty pathetic right now without any lens flare effects.
It’s funny, there were a few moments where I wasn’t sure if today’s space scene was going to turn out. I was having a heck of a time with… well… pretty much everything. I stuck with it and a couple hours later I ended up with this. I added in a few of my other planets that I’ve made previously. I wasn’t going for a realistic scene today so much as something pretty beautiful to look at, actually.
Yesterday, I worked on a star field Photoshop tutorial, and it turned out pretty good. Today, we’re going to try to create a planet together that we’ll be able to toss into our star field when we’re done. I should mention straight away that any of these steps (and same goes for yesterday’s tutorial) aren’t strict rules. You can change whatever you see fit once you get the hang of these Photoshop tools and techniques. So with that, here’s my Photoshop Planet Tutorial!
Today I’ve decided to do something different and make a star field Photoshop tutorial! We’re going to go through the process of creating a star field together. I’ve never written a Photoshop tutorial before, and if I were to guess, I’d say I’m going to end up rambling quite a bit. I have at least a few hours to invest in this project today, so that should give me plenty of time to put something interesting and detailed together. Here we go!
