Fun With Spacescapes

Abstract Inverse Solar System

My first attempt at a spacescape. I wasn't trying to make it realistic by any means, and, in fact, I don't think the outer ring (first ring I did) was even supposed to be a planet until I made the texture for it and was like hey now. Then I added a moon and sun and called it a day.

Binary

This was my first actual attempt at a 'realistic' scene. The one small, blue-green planet ended up looking like earth, so I made it inhabited by intelligent life by throwing some lights on the dark side. The planets on this one still bother me, though. It looks like I just kind of threw them wherever, which is kind of what I did. The starry background is pretty boring too. Even so, I think I did a pretty good job on this one.

Purple Eidolon

My most recent attempt. :-) This one, I believe, has a far more realistic feel - even though it's all purple. What was nice is that it didn't even take as long as the previous one to complete. I also gained a bit of experience airbrushing this time around!
