Hi Folks, now I am on polycount too. Some of you might have seen my work on Facebook, Twitter, Behance, Artstation, Drawcrowd, CGSociety, DeviantArt etc. My way of doing my stuff is more messy and abstract. So here I have some space art to show you^^

Hey! I've got a question for you... particularly with your galaxy/star paintings.... I was just wondering how you create so much depth in your gas clouds and how you make the lighter gases look farther away than the darker ones?

Hello, basically I combine different layer blendings and sometimes little happy accidents do happen through the process of creation.^___^
To create a certain sense of atmosphere and depth you need to paint in with blueish colours with a low transparency brush. I like to do that with a large soft brush. I have timelapse videos on youtube, maybe those will help you a little bit.^^
