Breaking off the rust in photoshop

Well with BP coming up and me actually using forums again, decided its time to spray the wd40 onto my photoshop and see if I couldn't get the gears turning,

Please keep in mind its been 4 years since I've done any PS work so the usual comments, advice would be nice.

(This is me getting into the stockade willingly, please let me out when the tomato throwing ends.)

Resources used:

Planet - From Black Prophecy art direction dev blog.

Fighter used - from BP's post about modular ship building
Credit to them ^^
Everything else made via tools in photoshop.

Still not sure how that fighter lost its blue tint wasn't anything I did just lost it during copy/paste >_>

Looks good Zenton. ^^

I believe they left some water marks on all their images, so that is why some things will become distorted when pasted onto their images - including your ship.

Either way I didn't notice it until you pointed it out.

Yea I wasn't too upset with it kinda enjoy it as it sleep black hull rather than a strange blue tinted hull against a white sun wouldn't have made much sense anyway.

Either way it's still good nice work Zenton

I like the current signature you have right now Zenton. May be just me but I can't see the first and third pictures you posted in your OP

Oh and btw, I found this really cool planet making tut for PS. Just in case people wanna be making gangsta lookin' sigs.

Ahh yea I broke them did some album moving and forgot to change the links, (I'ma newb)

And I won't go into the amount of times I've tried to learn how to do planets, star scapes etc in photo-shop never turns out right for me and I get frustrated and quit. I may take another wack at a planet tonight see what I can come up with, forewarning we're boarding the fail boat as of this moment. And if we get really into the thick of it maybe I'll try to make a Homeworld Quality render in Blender since anything more than that is beyond me for now.

Oh yea, I get that feeling sometimes when I see this totally awesome tutorial on online, try reading it, and notice my work doesn't look like what the person in the tutorial shows. Then i'm like *facepalm*.

Just takes practice will be uploading my planet I did from memory/building on previous attempts based off another guys tutorial (Greg Martin) I suggest you look him up hes pretty much my space scene crafting idol
