This is a piece I'm currently working on. The planets are made in Bryce and the star fields are painted in Photoshop. I read Greg Martins articles about celestial art and got a few great tips for painting star fields. I'm not finished with the Bryce-planets yet - the ones you see are placed there for reference. I'm also modelling the great white star cruiser that will be the focus of this scene. Maybe I'll add a star or two in the background :) I'm trying you achieve a classical sci-fi feeling / style similar to the one from the illustrated TTA-books (Do you remember "Spacecraft 2000-2100 AD" and "Great Space Battles" from the late seventies?) Tell me what you think! /anders
