Only my first real space scene, but I still think it has potential. What do you think?

Moved the nebula and made it it a little more realistic.

 

 

 

----------------------------

Its good, but you've gotta also think about how it would work in real life, like, a planet wouldnt be that close to a star, it wouldnt be just dry, it would be dissentigrating itself, plus, the blue planet seems to have some sort of odd pattern over it....Aand your nebula is very centered and should probably be offset or something....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I should post some of my planetary scenes...

P.S. You might want to chose a different title....Some works inspire titles, and some titles inspire works, but make sure its always about the inspiration :D

First, and most general things;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Resolution; Typically space scenes are panaramic, it seems to work best for them. They're usually vertical to.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Starfeild; You need to add one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The nebula... not bad for a very basic nebula, though there are far more advanced nebula brushing if you intend on going farther in space/sci far art.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The planets; again, there are far more advanced creation techniques.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I would strongly suggest visiting http://www.scifisrc.deviantart.com . Possibly one of the best gatherings of different resources and tutorials (all made by different artists but posted with permission from the creator) ever assembled for space/sci far art.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Check that out, then maybe next time I can give you a bit more critical C&C ^.^ But it's a good start, mate.

ive never seen one of these... without stars...

 

 

 

there is no focal point

 

 

 

there is also no definate light source

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

work on these then u might be better

They are pretty nice. Perhaps they are a little unrealistic. But atleast they look good *thumbs up*

Took some of the advice, and made a second one.

Better no doubt, but you're nebula placing still looks very...."placed" or "planned".......

Looks much better.

What exactly do you mean by this? I'm not really understanding you.

Like, its very central and nothing is disrupting your view from it, and it looks like its the center of the piece, but if you were intending it to be the main focus, you would have had to have had it more prominent and most likely brighter (since they are made up of stars and other intermingling gasses you know, so this one conveys the 'message' that its farther away and that the outerlying planets are the focus).
