Description Made using a lovely GIMP tutorial I found:
[link]

I've also learned how to use layer mode! Lots of fun there...

Anyways, this is going to be a cover for a D20 book I may or may not get around to doing sometime in the next five years. Enjoy the massive pic, and I'm sorry DeviantArt is such that I feel it's necessary to include the watermark.

EDIT: Okay, maybe too massive. And I fixed the bigger planet, it had texture issues...

EDIT EDIT: That'll teach me to submit something to DA before rushing off to class. Touchup on the stars at the top, fixed the nebulae, and made the watermark less obnoxious. How do I change the preview image? I'd like to use a thumbnail of something...

Ah, you like it? I used GIMP (cheap as free and it still does layers). The stars in the background are a layer that was Picked and then had the Sparkle filter applied. The nebulae is a layer with the Plasma filter run on it, after which I used the Select By Color tool and feathering to grab a big swatch of it and clear it out, after which I changed the layer to Add (so the stars shine through) and then played with the color balance until I liked it.

Like Photoshop, only free and with half the features you don't need cut out.

Planets are very lovely. Yes they are. Nice gimp tutorial. Should you be putting your real name on that stuff though?
