I'm a newbie at space imagery like this, but so far it's really fun, comments are appreciated. :)

I like it :D

I could definitely picture that being on the front cover of a sci-fi book- it's simple enough to be effective (I mean in the sense that you see everything you need to see without getting bogged down in detail).

Ooooh, purty! Can I touch it?

Especially the writing.

[CrazyHarij]

Thanks! :D

I'm working more on experimenting with nebulae and more natural looking scenes.. I guess I'll upload if I come up with something decent.

[Jimmeh]

Very nice Harij :D

I love it :)

[Druckles]

Yeah, a nebula recently on Good Tutorials, Ill find the link

(there was a better one but I couldn't find it)

Nice work anyway :)

A few suggestions:

-Needs more contrast: the star doesn't look as bright as a star should be
-Needs better textures: the planet and and nebula brushes need more variation

The planet also looks a little plain from where the beam is coming out. You could possibly add a city with lights and such around that area. Do this before sphereize (or whatever you do) the planet.

The sun's green glow doesn't look realistic. If a civilization was dying, a red giant type sun would work better.

Add more indicators of the planet dying. For all we know, the planet could be shooting a death ray at something. There could be a remnant of a space station nearby or a destroyed moon.

I hope this helps you improve on your space imagery. :D

Thanks a ton, I really appreciate the C&C :D I'll do my best to correct myself according to it :)

It's dying
And what exactly is that pole? It looks like a microphone altogether...

[CREMATOR666]

Actually, make a scene of some planet hitting down on Earth, causing a veeeeeery big explosion. That would be cool :D

[Druckles]

What do you think Armegedon, Independence day, First Contact and all those films were about??

[Sparta]

Its a great start.

You need more detail, and bigger explosions. And also, a shitload more colours. Adding a nebula would really add alot to the image.

[Asuka]

Looks nice and simple.
