Today's Picture:
This is my first attempt in digital "art" - none of the elements in the composition above are my photos - I downloaded/painted/created them.
When making such pictures the most important thing (besides having the idea of the final image in your head) is paying attention to the details - perfectionism is highly recommended, since anything that has even a slight flaw will pop out in the final composition.
For instance, when rendering the planet on which the viewer is situated, I used 4 separate images. They had different color balance, different lights/shadows pattern, and weren't the same size. I used a few of the endless Photoshop tools to fix these problems, but even then I needed to paint some shadows by hand so that they match the direction of the "sun". The result is - a rocky desert planet which doesn't look like a photographic Frankenstein's monster.
Although not as good as I wanted it to be, this first digital composition thought me valuable lessons - which will definitely be useful once I get my Wacom tablet.
