^ hes right. I'll even give you a tutorial on realistic starfields. This tutorial is to get the general idea of how to make starfields. Dont copy it exactly or were defeating the purpose of not using a brushpack :blink: This guy is a great digital painter. His homepage is http://www.artofgregmartin.com and heres the starfield tutorial Click
he's the master of space art. Learn from his tutorials and then, when you have the basic idea, do it on your own and come up with something original.

Id say first of all, dont make it all one color.* Vary the colors a lot more.* Second, tone down the contrast.* Stay away from the lense flares, theyre... cliche * lower the sharpness (the stars are almost jaggy).* Diversify your brushing a bit, some of it looks like it was all done with the same sized brush at the same level of flow.* That planet there has some stars on top of the shadowed part, might wanna fix that because stars are much larger than planets so if there was a star in front of a planet you wouldnt be able to see the planet if you get what im saying.* You need to add a bit mroe stars in some places and take away some in other places.* Lessen the amount of bright stars you have and after that, around each bright star, lessen the amount of little stars in its immediate area because something really bright closer to you sorta "drowns" (for lack of a better word) out things giving off light behind it that arent as luminescent.* As for the typo, not the best choice.* Id say something simpler, and in fact what would look really nice and clean is to do a thin white strip around the whole pic (like 1-2 pixels thick) and then have a thicker black border (about 75-100 pixels thick) and then have the typo centered at the bottom of the black border and use something like Times New Roman (clean sarif fonts look good with space scenes).* Work on that and post another version
