BTW: terminacion galaxia is ending galaxy in spanish :D, but galaxia is simply
galaxy
edit: oh damnit! the title should be terminacion galaxia!
okay, I think the quality isn't the best, did you do something to it?
Some advices: you shouldn't use that much outerglow on the starbrushes, it looks too thick and overwhelming. unless you want it that way of course =) other than that I tjhink the stars is placed alright, maybe a little bit crowded here and there, but that's just a question of personal taste, since you didn't go for realism.
as for the planets, I think that the biggest, orange/yellow one looks a bit low-quality, did you strech the texture or did the sphere-filter make that (since it in his tutorial)? And there is another texture in there in that same planet, which I don't think is blended godd enough, it would look better if it was mixed a little bit more with the rest of the planet. There are a few smaller planets that has too much outerglow, they should have less than the bigger ones. I'm not talking abou realism, I'm talking about what I think looks good. It's quite cool that you have made them in different colors, it makes the picture more alive. I hope that you're able to take this critique, but I'm not just criticising, I'm also giving you suggestions and comments =). I think this is good, and especially f it's your first try. You should keep on working on this one, good job. Did you lay down much time on this one ?, I think you did, which makes it even better in my point of view. Keep it up :lol:
ya what jern said^
with the big planet, you made a selection and put a random texture in when youd finished, but you didnt blend it..
in regards to quality, you lose A LOT of quality in a picture like this when you save it as a gif file. gifs can only handle so many colors. when you apply outer glows like in this piece, that creates hundreds of intermediate colors that simply aren't able to be portrayed through a gif. try saving as a jpeg and see how things turn out. it's a good start.
BGK is correct, this picture has too much contrast and saturation, thats why its pixelated slightly, problem is once you put contrast up like that, you can't do much with the image as its of low quality.
And when you save as a .gif its even worse, as the gif cant hold all the colours in it like the .jpg can, even the best quality of .gif. Gifs are a thing of the past and should only be used for buttons in my opinion.
Nice idea, but I think there is too sharp colors, like clean purple or clean blue.
And the blue planet does not look good over the one behind. The same for those small. Maybe lower the outerglow?
Stars are to bright. Some of the shading is un realistic. But i do like the very large one. I'm guessing thats a star.
It looks kinda good. But the big problem is that the light and shadows on the different planets are incorrect so that is the only thing that doesnt look so good.
