Before going into any detail I MUST mention inspiration from Taenaron's "The Rise of a Planet" [link]

I have also used some sources to save me a lot of hassel since this was made for the PSP so I didn't want to spend a year making it lol.

Sources:

Clouds Photoshop Brush set:
Cloud Brushes by JavierZhx [link]

Planet texture:
Pluto by James Hastings-Trew [link]

I've told them all about the piece, hopefully they'll like it - even better if they have psp's!

----------------------------

Aside from using the cloud brushes and making the planet in my usual way but using the Pluto texture, I made the rest in photoshop. There are some very subtle light rays under the clouds that if not there you really notice a huge difference, I made those by simply motion blurring a photoshop texture and then giving it perspective, a mask and a screen blending mode.

I think it looks much better on the PSP screen as the image seems to come alive when viewed on a screen the same size as the image.
