Planet tutorial: no longer available, by alyn and photoshop-tutorials
Planet, moon and sky painted in Photoshop; birds hand-drawn.

[edit] Haze added, among other things.

[19 Nov 2014] I commissioned the lovely TwilightPoetess to write a piece based off one of my visual artworks, and she chose this image. Go read her poem because it's awesome and captures this scene so perfectly. :eager:

Silent SpacesBeneath a double moon
misting over with clouds
waves wash a mourning
over jagged rock silhouettes.
Space sits idle--
stars lost, no lights to follow home,
wind-bent palm trees
leaving signatures
instead of reading them.
Birds shape strong feathers
through silent breezes,
beaks empty--songs forgotten.
The planet lives and sleeps silently;
on a beach abandoned, littered with shells,
a lonely glass jar smears the ink
down an unread note
with sweating tears.

Very nice, you captured the waves and surf with such details, the birds adding depth as does the close moon as the reason for the driving surf.
