well, having seen jdawg224's space work, i decided to try somthing like that for myself :D

heres the pic i am wokring on, i have been working on ir for a few days now on and off:

I must thank jdawg224 for introducing me to this sytle, i wouldent have attempted space art if he hadent posted his (amazing) work. the thread for his work can be found here:
http://www.dreamweavercafe.com/cafe/viewthread.php?tid=10243

this piece was made after following 2 tuts, both made by Greg Martin (his work is amazing, i recomend u go and take a look at some of it, and maybe try a few tuts, they are very constructive and well written ~ http://www.dreamweavercafe.com/cafe/viewthread.php?tid=10243 ). the first one i attempted was his starfield tut ( http://gallery.artofgregmartin.com/tuts_arts/making_a_star_field.html ) and the 2nd one was his exelent planets tut ( http://gallery.artofgregmartin.com/tuts_arts/making_a_planet.html )

having made those 2 pieces, i decided to play around a bit, putting them both together to make this piece, and adding more stars/effects etc as i went along. i attempted his tut on making Nebulas, but it was late, and i couldent be bothered doing it (it aint so much a tut as a guidline, and i just couldent fill in some of the blanks left by him ;))

Let me know wot u think, any ways in which i can improve it, thanks ~~~Vimes

*EDIT* ok, aparentlywith this hosting, u have to paste that link at the top into a new broswer window. sorry about that.

wow nice work. and thanks for mentioning me. That is indeed a great first attempt because i've seen alot worse. :lol

Since this IS a work in progress, i wont go hard on you, but i have a few suggestions though. You might want to kinda randomize the stars a bit and add variety to the sizes. Like greg martin says, tell a story with it, kinda hard to explain but you gotta feel it out if u know what i mean. you should also add a flare to the bright light because that will improve the look a bit.

I look forward to the completed work.
