This is my ultimate space tutorial. it is a large zip file which contains the tutorial in html format. i tried to cover in detail everything that most poeople would want to know about space art in photoshop. it is quite long because i have included more than one way to do many things.
INCLUDED:
Planets: different, detailed ways to make planet bases, textures, colours, rings, suns, detail and other things
Nebulae: 2/3 different ways to make cool and realistic nebulae for your art
Stars: only one way, but a good way
Tools: i outlined how to use layers and some of the tools in photoshop if anyone didnt know
Usefulness section: i made a section on how to use brushes (making them, texturing them, etc), a tutorial i made on lens flare and links to sites and tutorials.

i had planned on including brushes with the tutorial but that would make the file huge, so they are in a seperate file for download here: [link] . i also explained how to load them in the tutorial.

i tried to make it as coherent and detailed as possible, it is all made through my own experiance and messing around for many months now. the only part that isnt my own is the base creation, this is outlined clearly and linked to the rightful tutorial author.

this took days to make (lots of writing-.-) if there is anything unclear or anything that needs changing please note me and i will update the file..apart from that
enjoy!
