tr4cid comment @ Outburst from Naithin
Fast Think:
You are working fast at now, the time that you have rest from deviantart make you work at now It's good, do win some more inspiration
Spiral Galaxy:
The Colors are great, the diversity of blue, and that type of blue give more dynamic move to the spiral effect that it's very good too. The Energy ejection on the vertical is good too, but in the down ejection, the color is over the galaxy, what make it irrial and with some problem, but you can correct that it's a low promenor
The Transversal Nebulae:
One more time, the colors are great, a good combination of colors that you do with this things A good lighting and a good position
StarField:
I love it!!! It isn't like filtered and created by a program, it is like a real starfield the diversity of colors on the start are a good play too.
Planets:
They are good, but in the bigger one, the atmosphere is very artificial, like a circle over the planet, put more atmosphere in the planet too and to finish, a better texture it will be better The comet it's great too ;D
Final:
One more great piece that I apreciate from you, you are working very good Keep it

Thanks for the great comments there tr4cid, great to get some indepth thought about a piece like that.

In regards to the spiral galaxy, yes, the down shoot has been a major PITA, the energy ejections are actually a number of seperate layers, and the downwards beam is actually under the galaxy itself, but getting to actually visually reflect that turned out to be nigh on impossible, mostly I think due to the make up of the galaxy itself. This was the part I literally stumbled upon, and when I ever make use of the technique again, will have to have to do so with this problem in mind, and build it in a slightly different fashion.

The Transversal Nebula I like too, but only in full view. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, but I am, at just how horrid it looks in thumb view. Hehe. So note to all, Full View Required

Starfield, yep, this one took me a while, but I do feel that it paid off in the end. Main time consuming aspect was trying to get a good balance of coloured stars in there. It was one of the last things I did, and most tedious truth be told, but end result was worth it, imo.

Planets.. UGH to the big one, another of those PITA things. Yes, it definitely needs something done with that 'atmosphere', at first the atmos. was done just fine, but then I started experimenting with layering it, added one in multiply mode, then added one in screen etc, and as I was taking note of the effect on the planet itself, completely forgetting I had already merged it down into a single layer.. 'That' happend.

I am glad you like it over all. I think I do too. I keep changing my mind on this one, about whether I do like it overall or not, but that is admittedly quite a step up. Here's to hopin for the next ones. Must say though, I am rather chuffed at how that comet came out. First time managed to do one I liked enough to release in the work, generally I turn off my attempts at comets before submitting the piece, but I was rather happy with this one.

The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people
will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.

Nice, your stuff is making me want to go back and start making celestial pics again.

I think this pic could of used more detail in the swirly explosion, and the texture on the plannet seems to have a noticable checkered pattern, or a grid.

Still nice work

very nice nait!!
i like it alot!!!!
glad to see you update again...its been a while and i always enjoy your work

Nice work

excellency in concept !!!

great job on this one mate...

nice starfeild... great job...

but, i think this could be improved...

the nebula could use some shadows or outer clouds blocking light from the inside, to create depth.

the planet texture is a bit plain...

and the ozone layer is too strong. try a lighter colour, and set to screen or lighten... and use a soft and fuzzy eraser and smoothly erase the bit where there is little or no light on the planet..
that will make it look great...

but otherwise... looks great mate.
