Wow, thank you really for all your kind words! I remember all too well how it felt to try paint something which turned out absolutely underwhelming, so I am slightly at a loss of words right now with all the positive feedback...





Hmm, there isn't really much I can offer in terms of tips other than the standard sayings like "practice", "blood, sweat, and tears", and whatnot. Personally, I believe that anybody can create something gorgeous and you just have to keep pushing yourself. Looking back, I've been painting space art for about a decade now (time flies!) and believe me, my first attempts (read: the first couple years) were absolutely terrible; was relying on tutorials way too much, so scenes turned out completely disjointed. In fact, only when I really started thinking about doing things more naturally (instead of going "because X told me I should put this on 78% opacity, this number matters more than anything going on in the image", it's nowadays more of a "well, if it doesn't look good, we can still just overpaint it and create something out of that!"), there was some sort of flow going on.
