Out of this World #1 – Planet Tutorials and Inspiration
Dec 2, 2008 Photoshop
Perhaps one of the most popular forms of digital art out there is that of space art. The concept of existence beyond Earth stirs the imagination of many. Movies such as Star Wars, Star Trek, Apollo 13, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and more, only further the interest in this particular genre of art. There are many techniques for creation, from 3D rendering to digital matte painting. However, good advice on the subject is often difficult to find. Luckily, Presidia Creative has compiled a list of the best tutorials, resources and inspiration for aspiring space artists. This post will be broken into several parts, so here is the planet tutorial, resource and inspiration list.

Hello, I’ve been looking for a site like yours since last Wednesday. The last place I searched (should be the first) was in Google, using the keywords “tutorials”. Anyway, it was worth the search because I really like this website and your post regarding this World – Planet Tutorials and Inspiration | Presidia Creative looks very interesting for me. Definitely Stumbled!
