Artist's Comments

Click Full View for whole tutorial
The size a rather large...

Most of the credit for this has to go to Greg Martin [link] for the techniques for highlights/shadows and atmosphere.
Also a big thank you to every other space artist I have asked questions of, for everyone that commented on my work to help me improve, and to the people who suggested I make this.

This tutorial assusmes some basic photoshop and space art experience. If you get stuck or have any questions about any step I'm always happy to reply to any notes I get.

Only thing I'm stuck on is how to apply a texture to your brush at the beginning..

heh heh, yeah that's a step I really shouldn't have left out *smacks head*

Once you select the paint tool, click the "brushes" tab at the top right hand corner of the screen next to tool presets.
Texture will be about a third of the way down, when you select that you can click on the picture to select other textures.
I suggest visiting the resources section and picking up a few different textures to play around with (send me a note if you need to know how to load and create textures)

I've been looking for some good tutorials on planets, I've found some, but I can only make limited textures with them, this one gives me a much bigger variety and the end result looks alot better, I havent tried it yet, I'll have a go at your tutorial very soon though, Thanks.
