Artist's Comments

I wrote this a while back and completely forgot about it. This is a tutorial of how to create simple planets. For more advacned and detailed techniques visit Alyn's Advacned Planet Tut. This is designed to give new space artists an idea of how to develop their skills and for making less detailed background planets. There are probably loads of errors, so please tell me if you find a problem.

The atmosphere technique was originally covered by +dinyctis so credits to him there. For more details on cloud brushing see UCD's Land Planet Tutorial . Thanks to all the inspirational artists out there who got me into space art and especailly r4z0r for being an awesome community.

Enjoy!

i'd never try! it's designed as i said for simple planets, not to compete with alyn as i recognise how awesome his tut, was, it's helped all of us. as i say, it's old anyway, just hope someone can find a use

Step 5 screws up. It skews the left side of the planet and comes out like one-side is a football. Are we suppose to merge the layers before? Highlight one? What?

select the texture layer then go filter> distort>spherize. this filter makes thigns round basically. set 100%, then do it again at around 50% normally works for me. it might look a bit funny, but it turns out looking great
