Description
A little system has since the dawn of times been drifting farther and farther away from its parent galaxy. Soon it will be completely desolate...I made a few galaxies with a simple technique here, and I'm pretty pleased, since they essentially are my first ones. I'm starting to really appreciate the power of light factory, the only plugin I actually use in ps. Made a few pr3t3nd3r-inspired stars, which I think look pretty cool. I've been a little sluggish regarding the star field, might revisit that and improve it later.
(And that flare on the big planet, that's the peeking sun if such a concept would be hard to comprehend).
Original resolution: 9400^2 px.
EDIT: I finally did the improvements I promised in the comment section. Way better star field, better space dust, and updated the planets.
I also thank for giving me my second DD on this picture!
EDIT (2010-12-21): Made som smaller changes.

Depends on how you crop the image, or how the lenses/mirrors in the camera are arranged.

Thanks! Well, it is not that complicated, just find a good picture of a hurricane and then play around with it.

I really like those colors, great job. Do you remember how long this took you to make?

Thank you! Hmm, I'm very poor in keeping track of how long stuff takes to create. But I wouldn't be lying if I said it took longer than 6 hours, at least.

GamerWorld14 In reply to astrovista [2009-12-28 19:56:12 +0000 UTC]
Yes, I can see how it took so long to make, I really like it
How did you make those larger stars and the large nebula swirl?

Nice. I like how the light glints of the planet and the mother galaxy is shown in the distance. How it almost beckons the planet to come back home.
