Universamatamaton 9000 (Universe theme) Digital Painting I WK3

  Again I was a bit indecisive with the image I wanted to create for this weeks theme. Working in Painter X3 there is definitely a learning curve with respect to the amount of features that are available and past that, in trying to use these in a way that does not look juvenile. I think I am happiest with the way the galaxies turned out, although I may need to add a bit more variation to them. Also, creating a brush to apply the stars turned out to work very well. Thanks Don Seegmiller! (http://seegmillerart.com/) Creating the background was also fun and a learning experience. I wasnt sure if I should contrast a fairly realistic, semi warm background with a sketchy cooler focus, but i decided to try it. Not on par with where I want to be for sure, but I hope I still see improvement. Next weeks theme: Temptation. Uh-huh, well see how that turns out.
