Pro Planet Tutorial

Awesome tutorial! I'm not to sure how I can use this, but I'm sure I can make something useful because this effect is awesome. Anyways, nice job. Later.

Nice tut, don't like everything you did in the tut, but I won't critize at very good tut. I find the thing to give your planet a glow at the inside highly impressive. Never thought of that! :) Btw) Little tip, that glow will become white as your background layer is white, when you want to change that, simply change the colour of it. But still keep it whit(e)ish.

Thanks for the comment. Actually, I don't use this technique at all. I use the technique Alyn uses, which is much more advanced and gives a better result. :P Check out A Distant View version 2 in the Digital Art section to see a planet created with that technique.
I wrote this tutorial when I was all new to space art, and I used it for my two first space scenes that I posted here. I think it's an ok technique for beginners though. It's not that hard and you can choose how your planet should look. :)

And, "user posted image". Please change server! :P

Edit: Oh, I see it now. Nice planet! A little grainy, but it looks good!
