A friend of mine needed some artwork for a novel he was writing. The first task she gave me was to design a planet that was deep inside a gaseous nebula.
I began by drawing out a map of a fictional world in 2D. I added clouds and details to this map. I then spherised this, and cut it out to make it into a perfect circle. Next I coloured it, added gradients and shadows, an outer glow and fine details. I next used cloud brushes to create the back drop and added an out glow to the planet which I then blurred into the background.
