Finally starting to figure out how to make multi colored nebula look somewhat realistic! Damn, I bet I spent at least a 100 hours messing around in Photoshop trying to figure out some type of method that doesn’t take huge amounts of time detailing. Still, tons of time in Paint Tool Sai just
has to be spent, I think . . . It's not too bad though, because I sure love doing it!
This piece is a bit of a mess, mostly just because I was still experimenting with a bunch of stuff. More awesomeness to come soon!
Base textures with Photoshop then painted on top with Paint Tool Sai
About 9 hours (couple of these hours spent experimenting and learning different things, I could probably do this again in about 6.)

Thanks in advance for any comments and faves. I do read all the comments and reply to as many as I can. All the faves mean a lot too!
(And for anyone in getwatchers, hopefully my work doesn't pop up too repetitively, sorry if it does. I do have several works in the system, and if the same work does pop up, you can always fav
anything else in my gallery and still get bonus credits. Thanks!)
