A Distant View - version 2

Yessaaahh! I have edited the Rabieshund - Deep Blue collab!

http://www.deviantart.com/view/19622015/

Permission given by TacoX - that means don't lock this topic, BFG. >;P

What I have changed:

Nebula: The main change is the colors. Now it's in one color, which blends much much better with the rest of the picture. I also changed the shape a tiny bit and added some glowing gas.

Stars: Replaced the ugly starfield with a new one. Starfields like that can be created with my brushset, also available on my DA, if anyone is curious.

Ground and clouds: I edited the colors a bit to make it blend better. I also put in an extra cloud and changed colors a bit.

Please comment on this one, don't just ignore it because you have seen version 1. You can compare to the first version, there's a link in the comment below the picture.

Can you upload the brushset, DeviantArt only loads up once every blue moon. My connection might be the problem (satellite internet), but it always fail to connect to the web server...

Would love to see it =)

Nice work again. Thnx also for the brush set.

Wicked work, I commented on devart.

thats one of the coolest space pics ive ever seen

Thanks alot. :)

Psypher: You mean upload where? On Void? :P

Anywhere but not DA - I don't think DA likes me, now it gives me error all the time LOL.

Okeyz0r, I'll upload it to Yousendit later. I'm at my girlfriend now, so I can't do anything for the moment. ;P

I researched the problem.

It seems my ISP is gay and its pre-packaged proxy for faster loading times seems to be the problem (I can't get rid of it).

I use Megaproxy.com and it works now :)

ou man.. how beautiful :mellow:

i can't comment it, because, i don't know what to say :blink: :mellow:

very nice graphics work but the perspectie looks extremely odd , like there is no way the angle match up or something.

commented on DA, awesome work. I should start with space art too :D

Looks good, but some things don't make sense... like the ocean and that 'wave'.

The top half looks amazing, the bottom half would look better if the perspective was fixed, etc.

I think it would be nicer if you put an image of some forestry, all shaded in black and that planet appearing above the clouds like it does on this image.

i dont see whats wrong with the perspec, if you mean the planet is too big, it isnt because the planet could be really close, and as for the land, i cant see how its outa perspec...

Yeah, I don't see what's wrong with the perspective either. o.O
Thanks for the comments, very appreciated.

the first thing that threw me off is if the view of the planet would be possible from stangin where u are on the current planet , the 2nd thing is that the main light source is coming from almost straight above planet 2. planet 2 is not blocking planet 1 because u wouldnt see the mostly light up part , so why isnt the planet u are on light up? its dark?

just a sugestion

Thanks for getting permission Rabie!

I like it. Its just that im tired of space art now. Everyone is doing it and its gettin old. But still, this is good mate. Good job.

Looks sweet, though the blue nebula on the right seems a bit dull to me & the blue sky which cuts of to black with the yellow stars, it seems to instant, blue sky, white stars then... BAM! Black sky yellow stars... It'd look better with a slow gradient fade... but looks sweet, hopefully I'll get to this level... Oh, do you have a copy of the original terragen render? I'd like to see how you've manipulated it :)

Thanks for your comments! :)

Here's the original render.

THAT PLANET IS AWSOME :o :o :o :o

Thank you. :) It's made with a texture that took several hours to throw together since it was in 3500x3500 px. ;P

AMG t3h rabie pwn! Very nice, your really improving, though you are a bit of a trendmaster, you make the trends and everyone else copies you. Everyone was doing fractals when you were and now space scenes, they are all jealous of your artistic skills in my opinion. :tongue:

Nice job man, keep making new stuff, I enjoy viewing it.

lol, the trend sucks... I've always enjoyed space eventhough I was crap at it... but now its like I'm following a huge crowd of people... Though I'll admit rabies did inspire me to start again...

i started doin terragen again, but theres not really much you can do with a terragen render apart form space

so im doin one :(

Hehe, thanks for the comment, CC. :D
I enjoy doing stuff that no one else on the forum does, and if people starts to copy me, I just think it's fun since it can do nothing but improve the artists skills.
I haven't made any space art in a while now since I've been with my girlfriend, but I will probably start with something new when she leaves tomorrow.

we could do another collab rabies :P im already getting stuck on the sky of my piece, i think i may just stick to terragen

Not now though. I'm thinking of doing a nebula space scene to practice nebulae! :)

To be honest i've never tried terragen, i'll have to download it sometime and try making something. Is it easy?

you can quite easily make something decent with terragen & not know what you're doing

Well i've made a terragen battle for comp 5, and rabie better enter and show everyone how its done or else. :tongue:
