decided to play with my tablet and try my hand at painting a nebula... type... thingy... and this is what came out. i finally got my planets to where i have always wanted them to be, thanks to the help of an open planet resource that ~thiagochackal was kind enough to share [link] . i also had the help of a tut for the nebula brushing by *ladyrapid here [link] .
anyway, spent about 5-6 hours on this, and im very proud of it.
