UPDATE [2009-06-19]
This is the first piece of a bunch that I'll be modify a bit and alter for the better to fresh it up. This piece I couldn't add/change too much since it would only ruin the original concept.

* added rich starscape
* new size for wallpapers
* more contrast
* light on asteroids
* darkened areas in background
* couple more ships

:bulletred::bulletred::bulletred::bulletred::bulletred:

New celestial piece right up!

Been workin on this sucker for quite some time now. Main reason this never finished before is that I didn't have a clear view on how I wanted to build it up, I kinda went on as I went by really hehe.

The asteroid that hits the planet is NOT suppose to be aligned to hit the center, it's ment to hit a bit off.

Nebula brushin is combined freehand and private stock.
This is, for what I know, the first way to present an asteroid belt, with the suggestion to be wrapped around a planet and swirl on ;). Took a bit of work to get it right with colour, position 'n light etc etc.

Title speaks for itself.

Beautiful...I love the two-tone colors and the texture on the planet. I'd say "bump-mapping", but its not a 3D render, so...
:iconladyrapid:
Aw, geez, thanks I guess *dooo'h*. Just to try show a little gratitude towards that :+fav: I guess I can at least try to say something in the same line of thanks or something...

You'd mop me away in Flash, like "Open a new frame and start animate", then I'd be like :O_o: haha. Isn't it nice that we all have different skills, shit it'd be boring if everyone just made the same shit over and over again.

:salute:

haha, i do that to my parents though
like.. i forget sometimes that not everyone knows what i do about Flash.. one conversation with my dad went like this

Me: ...so i ended up messing around in the timeline.. searching through every movie clip symbol i could get my hands on.. and i thought there was some problem in one of my arrays you know? or maybe that i was using a feature unsuported ina actinScript 1.0, but i was exporting as actionScript 2.0 anyway.. maybe the collision testing? I ended up writing that all out 3 times over.. it couldnt have been that.. turns out id just used the wrong casing on one of my variables! _root.level.heroMC was written as _root.level.heroMc.. God! Im such an idiot!

him: mhm.. what the hell is a tween?

That's awesome, cool idea with the swirly asteroid belt :thumbsup:
:iconaradnom:
Very cool. The blue and red spectrums mesh really well with the cooler violet in the middle, looks great. I like the stylization of the asteroids pummeling the planet as well, the gas swirls work very well. The point of impact looks good as well, great sense of motion with the shrapnel. Solid background and planet texture as well. Great piece. :boogie:
