Edit: Updated contrast and saturation, hadn't realized how flat and dull it was looking until now! Updated wallpaper archive too!
Wait...what? ...Ok, hold on. I'm still trying to come to terms with what I've just finished. This is the most amazing thing I have ever created. Ever... Suffice it to say this is one of my crowning achievements.. and whatever I said about crafting and sculptures and all that nonsense on Ambient Anthem PALES in comparison to this process. That was a stepping stone, I suppose tl;dr HAUGHFHLAGHAAA sorry i can't help it
Went for ultra-high realism here, including the structure of the nebula as well as lighting and star placement. I'll be damned if this doesn't exist somewhere out there...
Anyway, I'm super excited that I get to show it off here. I made a few wallpapers for your convenience (FULL OF JUICY DETAILS) that you can download on the right there -->

Don't forget to leave me a comment, I love em! Oh and you can now check out the details here on dA for your convenience! :thumb183969256:
Thanks a ton kire, I'm so glad you like it, and again thanks for the feature. But to be honest I think this is the only one in my gallery I can consider worthy enough of compliments. Everything else seems lackluster in comparison!
well, your gallery is still quite small, but this one clearly shows what you're capable of! Maybe you just have to be more passionate and aspiring to become a better artist.
true, this has shown me that I have a lot more potential than I originally thought. I have been reconsidering a path in digital art, and this has gotten me very excited about the possibilities. I have now set my sights on a degree for schooling, including all the responsibilities that comes with that (like a legitimate portfolio! ha!)
This is REALLY beautiful, I love the light, the shadows, the colors, the mood, the hole thing! Waw, I wish I could draw like that!
But thanks for the encouragement!
