Didn't come out that bad for a first try, I think. Still, space art sucks. >.>

i like it, all but the caligraphy-ish title at the bottom. doesnt really fit. other than that, purdy.

oh, and maybe try and erase that layer of extra stars around the planet. it looks kinda odd for them to be so dense in a ring around it.

Thanks for the feedback, Cazor. I'll have a look at those stars. About the text: It's something I've done with all my work so far at deviantART, and I'm not really looking to change it for just a single piece. :/

Whats with the spots in the mountains?
The white border you have around the image seperating it from the black should be thinner I think. Its distracting right now.

well, then again its not like all your other work, either, gothicx. most of the other stuff ive seen does fit the gothic/calligraphy kinda text very well. i say if you change your style, even for one picture, make it all flow. but thats just me.

Consequence is the fall of the simple-minded. It should never become an active thing.
I like the picture, but why do all artists think so highly of stupid borders that ruin the use as wallpapers?

I personally like the black border around it. just set your desktop color to black and it will fit fine :p

Stupid Borders > You.

If you don't like them, find an image that has a standard resolution.

It looks good but there are *way* too many stars.

There is a close star (the sun) in the pic whould would block out all of the other stars or at least most of them.

Other than that, it's a very pretty picture

Thanks to those who commented, much appreciated. I've been working on a second attempt, one I think is an improvement over the last one.

Yeah, made it a wallpaper, so no whining about titles and borders.

Something about it doesnt look right.
it kind of looks like everything is just placed together rather than looking like they belong together.

Only thing I'd suggest on the second one is make the planet blend in more lighting and color wise.

Now that I love. The only problem is the join between the terragen pic and the photoshop one :p
Why are there only clouds in the middle of the pic but you can see right through them to the sides. That's my only complaint.

One thing which would look really good along those lines is a moon lighting up the scenery

After seeing some of the photshop tutorials And attempting some. It looks like you terragened it and made the planet and starfeild above in photoshop. If you want to create a real gothic space scene here is my suggestion. Make an volcanic planet just floating inside a bloody dark red nebula. And put only a few bright stars in.

Casperhead, you're brawling nonsense. I never said I wanted to create a 'gothic' space scene. As well, your definition of 'gothic' is whacked.

But it's a suggestion for what he never wanted.
