First space art piece.
This is my first space piece and something I did out of boredom.

It's nothing spectacular. While it's great for a beginning in space artistry, it's nothing really comapred to what you can do.

The texture on the planet is poor, the size of the planet is poor with a bad focal on the sig to begin with it can't get much better. The comment/asteroid thing is a good idea - though the execution was poor.

The startfield is mediocre, though it's on it's way there. My suggestion is to check out the following tutorial:

I'm aware it is a PB forum. It's actually my currently closed one. Look through that, some of the ones I was going to link have since broken - however, one to take note of that still has it's image available is:

Goodluck.

Thanks for having a look, Sven.

The flaming thing did start out as a space ship, the execution was poor, I do agree.

I've not looked at any tutorials to do with this before, so thanks for the links. I'll have a look at them and try another one soon. :]

Space art is a lot of fun when you get the hang of it {Wink} It's a very rewarding style, I have to say that once you can manipulate the space side of it - then you start working with programs like Terragen, and you can create some AMAZING fantasy scenes and backdrops.

I have to agree with Sven on this. It's nothing spectacular, but from a beginner in space art you can't expect too much. I think your major flaw was the size. It just seems like you should of gone bigger.

The effects can use work. The gradient in the background looks a bit weird and out of place. The planet, and asteroid could use a bit more detail. Also the star field looks a bit boring, try adding some random space objects out there {Wink}

Not a bad first try {Grin}
