Um... uh... This usualy won't take 2 hours to make from scratch. What program did you use

I used gimp. It actually did take two hours. I use several screen layers, noise filters, feathered colorization selections, plasma, cloning, and addition layers.

Ya know, you could just say "Good job." or something like that. I didn't use the spray tool.

Space blends better than that.


Good job.

^Not you. You have constructive criticism. She just insults it, nothing more, nothing less.


What do you mean by blend?

I could make almost the same exact thing in Gimp in 10 minutes. :/

I don't know how to explain.. It just looks blotchy.

It should have more of a gradient.

I got nebulae mixed with supernovas, which is why I couldn't find it. XP

With all due respect, Mine has a little more depth. There was a lot more to it than you think.

Darken the purple, blue and orange and your drawing will be gr8 m8

With all due respect, I had better things to do than waste any more time on a crappy space creation that requires minimal skill to create.

^ if you had better things to do, why would you make it anyway? It's not really proving a point. Levi's art was clearly worth the extra effort because it looks so much better than a 20 minute click-fest that has no depth or clusters.
It doesn't matter if the artwork takes "minimal skill"...as long as it looks nice, that's the point.

I'm not entirely sure why the criticism on most art pieces recently have been so harsh. There's no need to for this, guys. No one is going to get better at art if you just say "that sucks" or "I could draw that when I sneeze"....give examples or tips on how they can improve...or better yet, encourage them. Not all of us are born art geniuses or have access to art classes. Consider the kind of comments you'd want to see on your art.

I only wanted to prove that it doesn't need to take too long to make a nice looking space scene in Gimp. It's good that it doesn't take too long to make it look good. If you wanna spend several hours making it much better than my 20 minute make up then by all means, do so. I had other stuff to draw too though, so I just didn't spend anymore time on it. Here's an art tip though: if you go into professional art, you WILL be criticized harshly. The original piece could use more gradient though, as already stated. There's a little white splotch somewhere on it too that would drive me nuts.
