I am very happy with how this turned out, and i have been waiting a while to upload it, this is the second try i hope everyone likes it. I was playing with the planet textures in photoshop and came up with these after a few hours, then i went on to max for the planets and basic lighting, and finally back to photoshop for for the nebulae and stars etc.
Total time was aound 43hrs, plus 8 or so more for the texturers, the psd source was around 765mb at the end, and the 53 layers chewed up 2gigs of ram and were beginning to choke the machine when i decided to stop tweaking.
Wow...O_o;;...this is so amazingly realistic. Beautiful. The textures are perfect, as well as everything else. By far the best space pic ive seen here on DA.
umm yeah....simply amazing. i have no idea how u pulled this off...u have some extreme talent keep up the good work. the time u put into this was WELL worth it.
holy shit, that is amazing...the textures on the plantes are phenominal...i love how it looks liek little citys or something, and i love the dustyness around the planets and teh star clusters...its just beautiful very very beautiful...

omg, that's beautiful!
The only thing i dont like is the quite obvious layer problems right above the blue planet.
Other than that, its a worthy piece of space art, and as such, it belongs to my fav list.
