The background doesn't fit the planet, but its cool...like a comic lightning thing. Just focus on the planet...

That looks pretty cool but it doesnt really look like a planet, ide say its more of a marble :)

cool u've to write tut on this thing if u remember how did u do that :P

i guess its alrite but isnt it jsut that weird bg then a umm... filter - i cant remmeber which.. anyway then colorized the circle?

hmmm doesn' look like a planet to me, more like a marble. i tend to be a bit fussy about planets so maybe i'm being nit picking. you should try some cloud filtrs and so forth, there are some good tuts around on planets..

very, different. weird. . .ppl might like it if you wrote a tut ;) that'd b awesome.

I think it involves glowing edges? Lol...im not sure. Good effect, make a tut. It dosen't look like a planet.

Well actually theres a tut already made like this, forgot where but I think it was called how to make a sun or something to that effect I will see if I can find it.

there is? thx nightfire, i'd appreciate that if youcould find it :-)

nice job!..doesn't look like it took much though..try entering that into the "more realistic looking sphere contest" in the battlegrounds section..
