Artist's Comments

I did a lot of crazy things to make this. I used acrylic for all of it.

I used a giant brush to do the background colors. Then, for the stars I just sprinkled water all over it with my fingers. That created white spots.

I used one wide sweep to create the curve of the earth, then brought it down with more paint. I poked around aimlessly with the brush to do the scattered effect where the earth ends.

For the craters, I added just a bit of water to black paint, dipped the brush in it, and held it high above the painting until it splashed down. Because the blue paint underneath it was still wet, all I had to do was mix in the middle of the black craters to create a swirly mixture look inside the craters.

The flames on the bottom and constellation lines at the top were made with watery paint too, to give it a translucent effect. Within the 'boxes' the constellations created, I lightly dabbed splotches of the least prominent color of the the box's background (yellow splotches on the blue and purple background).

The tiny black dots and black lines were all splashing with the paint brush.

What is this doing in the comments and not in the deviation information itself!? O_O That's really intriguing and amazing stuff to know! You sure have creative ways of doing these things. =)

(ah, and you should respond to comments using the reply button; otherwise, they wouldn't know you ever replied)
