    Planet

    Hi all

    A picture I did a week or two ago just for fun .. believe it or not, all the initial elements were originally photographic (eg, the planet texture was a wall in Italy, and the land at the bottom was in Egypt).

    Cheers
    Mike

    Great Stuff Mike; I wouldn't even know where to start!!
    I would prefer though if there was a little texture on the small planet; at the moment it looks too planted; pun intended.

    Re: Planet

    Awesome work Mike.

    If I were to critique, I would like a bit of red on the rocky foreground (reflected from the giant planet)

    I like how the left side is dark and corresponds with the giant plant but the right side needs a bit more red. I also agree with tom with the distant planet. it needs a face (texture).

    anyways. just a few thoughts. it's great as is.

    Mike,

    You must write up a tutorial on this.

    Terrific work
