It takes a mere second for treasure to turn to trash.

I had to take 3 seperate tuts on the planets, and used many brushes many many times to get the star effects... I also put a little knowledge into this...

Mini Astronomy Lesson:

Astronomers can decipher how far a star is from Earth or a planet by it's brightness. Light diminishes as it travels, so we will know that the dimmer the light, the farther the star is from us. So I used some opacity/visibility changes on some of the brushes in order to relay this information. You may notice it's a screenshot, well this because imageshack for some reason expanded the image by 200 pixels in height and width making it a bit blurry, if you wish to view the non screenshot but a bit blurry version, click the link below.

Okay I don't want it rated on it's brushing, *well the star placement I guess* I want it rated on it's looks, and quality, remember, we don't know what the Universe looks like so don't say that looks f*cked up cause there is so much we haven't discovered yet, the planet in the right hand corner is exploding, the small red one in the left hand bottom corner is a regular red planet with mist over it, and the yellow one is just... the biggest one there... I took a few tuts with some of the stars, and used brushes for the rest.

I don't remember the exact tutorial link but it was such a small tutorial I remember the instructions they were this...


- Create a new layer and fill it with black.
- Then go to Filter->Noise->Add Noise.
Set: Amount: 20
Then Do Gaussian
Check Monochromatic (sp?)

Duplicate the layer and set it with overlay.


I'm pretty sure thats all, all this does is give you a basic layout then you just star over it... I had to erase A LOT because of how many star errors I had. It looks like I just scribbled em on but I had to be very careful like in the Mini Astronomy lesson, different opacity means farther/closer to you.

I purposely put them there, I think they look like there is stars floating in front of the planet, it makes the planet's look farther out, plus they give a misty effect to the red one but thanks dude ^^

I miss the sound of your voice
And I miss the rush of your skin
And I miss the still of the silence
As you breathe out and I breathe in
If I could walk on water
If I could tell you what's next
I'd make you believe
I'd make you forget

Thanks Blaze and Katara and probably Blaze cause I usually don't get a lot of time with Photoshop but my bro was at his dads.

Too much color and random brushing...but cool effect, though. I like the red explosion thingy (or whatever it is) and the planets.
