I'm getting better :boogie:

I had a lot of fun with this. I had it mostly finished a couple weeks ago, and took a break from studying today to finish it up and add a star field. I think I like the result for the most part, though something doesn't seem quite right, but I'm not sure what.

I looked at a whole bunch of tutorials before this, and kind of combined and altered the techniques, and just played around on my own to see what would happen.

I could've sworn I left a comment on this! :confused:


Anyway....YEAH I DID! The music and the graphics and the gorillas as equalizers!! I swear it I'm losing my mind.


Great stuff. And in Elements? Very nice. :)

lol, no idea what you're talking about, but thanks :) I've found that, for my purposes anyway, Elements really isn't all that different from other versions of photoshop in terms of what it can do.

This is excellent! I love the colors you used, and the ways the darkness seems to almost be taking over the screen...but not quite enough for the light to go unnoticed. Nice contrast! This makes me long for an intuos pad.

Thanks very much :) Yeah, having the tablet is nice, but something like this could probably be done without, since a lot of it, except for the coloured parts of the nebula, was really just done with filters and effects :XD:
