Hi everyone,

Just another quick starfield image, all done in Photoshop 7.

Any comments or constructive criticism is appreciated as always.

Thanks and Clear Skies

Alex

Hi Alex,

Thats a great attempt well done!

It looks a little like M45 this, i would offer advise but i think it's rather nice and has it's own style which is great..

Keep it up Alex.

Thanks James! Out of interest, which one of my 2 Milky Way astroarts do you prefer - the red one or the blue one (a question phrased like the Matrix ).

I have asked 2 people which they prefer - one said red and the other blue!

Neo, I think the Red is better myself i prefer the colours which isnt my normal taste being a Man city fan . The feel of the red one is better IMHO..

Thanks for your input Morpheus - i'm a Chelsea fan by the way, so i'm more of a darker blue...

Another good picture!

I prefer the red one slightly since I think the brushwork is a bit better in that one - the transitions from brighter areas to darker ones are more subtle in the red image - but both are quite nice.

It's great you're also a footie fan James - i thought Andy Cole's goal at the weekend was fantastic and very well taken. I watched Chelsea v Wigan, i was so nervous til the 93rd minute...
