As you should know skys are one of the Earths most beautiful visual diplays:)

Cool idea! Nice pic. Reminds me of the sky above Corruscant at the end of episode II. Very Happy

I'll do a newer one soon.

arc how the fuck do u start off something like that

Arc][Pello · Posted: Sat Mar 08, 2003 4:26 am

clouds are pretty simple really....they just take a long time thats all.
just start off with blobs of colour and then define the basic cloud shape...do a bit of lighting to determine its volume....then using the "add water" tool in Painter7 smudge thing around a little. after that i go back to photoshop and spend ages rendering the formations and stuff.....very relaxing:)
