guess you found the lens flare and render clouds filters. the second one looks okay, but don't be surprised if you get jumped by angry mobs for using filters so obviously

Of course, you do know that these kinda images take two minutes to make, and requires no skill at all.

Love the colors. The lensflares are such a nice touch. You improve way too fast!

seki- I find space pictures to be unoriginal due to the large amount of them on the net, but if its your thing go to Greg Martins website. Hes got some really cool tutorials on making space pictures and if anyone knows how to m,ake space pics, its him. Just know that because of his tutorials, that space or nebula pictures are everywhere, and people are losing interest in them. But whatever makes you happy.
My critiques for you-
1.Diversify your stars on your pics. It looks more like television static.
2.Cool it with the lens flares. Remember less is more.
And not everyone shares Isrics views. I think anyone who who trys to make art is an artist, and has my respect.

yeah..well, im not really good at handdrawn art....im ok....but i need some work....heres just a few:

as u can c, im better at digital art...and the only digital art i know how to do right now is lightning and deep space Razz

and on diversifying the stars....im not sure exactly how to do that....i made small, numerous stars plus large, less-numerous stars....then added the lense flares to look like closer stars...maybe if i use very slight lense flares

btw....that art is only so good cause i had something to reference it from

SekiRyuu: Those are pretty cool, Except those filters are overly used.. Try to use the brush tool and a blur brush instad of using the cloud filter and lens flare instead of the lens flare use doge burn and smudge tool expement. for your stars try this, make a new layer make it black filter noise add noise ammount 10, gaussian, then click monochromatic then ok. Now take the eraser tool set the Opacity to 30 and delete some stars then duplicate that layer and grab the dodge tool and set to 30 again and go over some stars set that layer to screen.. But every body is right the stuff your doing u can do in less then 5 minutes, but it's not very nice how they comming across to you becuase every body has to start some were so keep it up...

the reason i use the cloud filters is because they look way better than anything i can draw with the brush and the wacom....

i want to do this: http://gallery.artofgregmartin.com/tuts_arts/riven_walkthrough.html

but i just cant seem to do it....i cant draw a strait line with a wacom, yet i can with pencil and paper
