Reply With QuoteHere are some of the planets that I made for this: the sun, mercury, earth, and mars. Steel, you can use the mars for Khutaathuntil I put out the tut sometime in the next few days.
Cool stuff, love the nebula!
The text for some of the planets is a bit hard to read. Maybe change the color, or put a dark stroke on it, or something?

Here are some more: venus, the moon, neptune, and pluto. I know the color schemes may not be totally correct -- call it artistic license, call it bad memory, or call it laziness as I didn't want to hunt down the real NASA picsOnce I get the rings right I'll put up the gas giants. And yes I know pluto was de-planetized and turned into a dwarf planet but I'm one of those of the old faith

Thos planets are gorgeous, but I especially like the sun, you can almost feel the molten lava sliding around. Was this done in photoshop? A little explanation / tut for the sun would be most welcome, thank'ee kindly!
Great job on the planets, made me go and revisit mine!
Believe me it would work great for it - and I actually like it better than the version I currently have in my entry. Excellent work my friend. I think the only thing I might change would be to 'brighten' it up a bit.Originally Posted by Ascension

Wow ! Tell us when this tutorial is out ! I wanna know how you did those ^^
Back to business
Excellent. This is a great map and I especially love the planets.
Here's an update. Changed the font again...I never seem to find something I like that also is legible and lends itself to stylizing. So here I'm giving Boost SSI a test drive to see how it looks. The ships are all just pixel art that I doodled up less than 50 pixels across, then heavily stylized (I think the only layer style not used is drop shadow).

Excellent map. Having the location and disposition of the fleet is a great addition.
