::Far Away From Earth::

Posted Aug 13, 2007, 4:28:24 PM UTC

This is my first "finished" photoshop drawing. Actually, I used MS paint at first, so that's why the planet has those "separation" lines.

I usually draw manga, so doing this was, like my cat painting, very different. I was commissioned by a friend of mine, and got 20$ (Canadian) for that, which was more than I expected actually o_O.

For your information, I was lazy at doing any actual windows on the supposely spaceship, and since I'm so "good" with spacecraft, I used a reference (which I can't find anymore, but the reference had this ship http://www.theforce.net/swtc/Pix/books/sw2ij/mc1sw2ij.jpg).

    Hey, I've never seen this before! XD

    I think this looks great. Your photoshop skills kick my photoshop skills' arse XD

    Everything looks great, and I love the little "glare effects". Reminds me of when I'm looking through a lens and I accidentally look too far up (at the sun XD )

    There's something about those rings around the violet flames that makes me stare at them endlessly XD

    wait... you started on paint? I can't do anything in that program, I'm just too messy XD

    Thumbs Up

      You didn't XD? It was on the second page of my dA gallery haha!

      Thank you! This is the "lens flare". It's very simple, you just have... Filter>Render>Lens Flare. In the beginning, I didn't know about that, so I tried to do it myself, which failed horribly. I discovered it later by searching a tutorial, and it says "Click on filter>render>lens flare" lol!

      Haha XD, I thought it would be a nice, random touch to the ship ^^

      I did the planet completely in MS paint, and used effects such as blur, burn, dodge with Photoshop Corky Smile

        There's a filter for lens flare? o.o *runs off to check*
