Hey there! Great work on the sig, it's a good start, but you need to work on a few things. Personally, I don't think the tutorial you used was a very good thing to learn on. ;)

 

 

 

Try to avoid scanline textures overtop space scenes or surreal scenes. They tend to make the piece look less professional and less artistic.

 

 

 

The starfield is blurry and doesn't look at all like a starfield! In art, you don't need to be exact, but when you're going to make a scene like this you need to make things proportionate and somewhat realistic. ;) Take a look at some starfield photos and then compare them to yours to see what I mean.

 

You need less big blurry dots, and more sharp pixels, dust, debris, rocks, color variations, etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This tutorial explains how to make a very nice starfield only in photoshop:

And then there's the planet.. it's too flat, plain, boring. Needs textures and depth! Again, look at some references:

 

 

 

 

Here's another tutorial (by the same author) which can get you great results for your own planets in photoshop:

PS: As for transparency, that image will be tricky. For big, colourful images that have soft edges, you need to save as a 24-bit PNG. Most browsers won't display the transparency with 24-bit PNGs, just a gray background instead.

 

 

 

To make this transparent, cut out the background so Photoshop's checkered background can be seen wherever you want the transparency to be. Then go File > Save for Web and choose the "PNG-24" as the image type. Make sure "Transparency" is checked.

 

Here's how to cut out the background:

-_- I already tried those tutorial before and failed miserably. It's so hard to understand.

 

 

 

I guess I'll just try again, thanks.
