visual art 1st Attempts at Space and Planet art

[Raritas 6,820]

Hey all, recently I've been looking at a lot of space art on DeviantArt, and I got quite curious in how it is done. I looked up a couple of tutorials on Youtube, which helped immensely, and these are the final products made on Photoshop, I am rather happy with them:

 

 

The texture of the planet was made on a planet generator website (Can't remember name :/), and with the help of photoshop, it was made.

 

 

This one was more of a challenge. The textures are from google images. The planet on the left is made from a rock, and the one on the left is water. The Nebula was made using brushes I downloaded off of DeviantArt, by Tsayre.

 

Everything was made from scratch, aside from the planet textures, which belong to their respectful owners in the second picture.

 

I know these are first attempts, and A LOT can be improved, so please, if you have any criticism please say it!

 

Thanks a lot!!

Wow! I really like this. This is the kind of art that makes me sit down and wonder what had to be done to make this. (Frankly thats all computer art, and it makes me super jealous.) It is all around really good. My Randomness Seal of Approval! 10/10

Ah. Another person that likes doing this. For first tries, this is really good. I would advise you to try with exploding planets ( Such as the one in the spoiler below) because they are easier to make using either randomly generated, handdrawn or other pictures. Im going to give it an 7.5/10 because they are really good for a first try. I will however advise you to make them look more sphere-round-ish. Atm they look a bit flat.

Here is one of my first tries at making planet-y art. I used a picture of dried mud to make it.
