georgie Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 this isn't niche fanart but I put it here because this is how I did the galaxy for this if you have any questions, ask away! 1. with a very big pen tool, put down a load of coloured circles. put just pinks purples and blues if you want a less colourful galaxy, but I put down a lot of reds and greens so mine's gonna look a lot more colourful. remember, the range of colours you chose really matters here. also, dont do any yellows ,or greens with no added blue, here because those come later. you can also leave some white spaces too it wont matter 2. click on "filter" at the top and then on "gaussian blur", then slide it until you get this effect. you can blur it more or less if you want to, its basically all subjective as to what you think looks good/ suits the rest of the drawing 3. then you're gonna find the "star" "star 2" and "star 3" brushes and use those. firstly I took star 3, set the colour and hue jitter to about 50, and just randomly put some stars in the background- because these stars are a lot of different colours, you should make them quite big and put the opacity down. just mess around with the brush settings until you get something that looks a bit like this: 4. with the other two star brushes, just add in some more stars. make sure when you get these you put the colour and hue jitter to zero! I make one type of star white, and the other type of star slightly yellow just to add some variation. tip: make little clusters of stars and put a lot more there, but also try not to put too many in one spot! just try not to make everything spread evenly. also, you should change the opacity of the stars and lower the multicoloured ones the most, then the yellow ones should be the second least opaque, and the white ones should only be put down to about 85%. this is what I got after some fiddling around: 5. now, get an airbrush, make it quite big, and just randomly airbrush splotches of similar colours you used at the start over everything on a new layer to make it a bit more colourful. this is where you can go crazy and add some yellows and greens and reds to the mix too. when you're done, put on a gaussian blur again (but not as strong as the first one, only to like 9 or 10 and adjust the opacity to what looks right. then you're done! also: if you want to add characters in, put them under the airbrush layer so they look integrated into the background, heres a comparison using a random stick figure with some lovely makeup 4
Aether Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 Oh! You mind if I post mine since I have a different way of doing it. (Its for a less cartoon-y galaxies.)

Lilytuft Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 I tried it, but with gimp and also I set the airbrush layer to overlay 3
Sky Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 I might try with Krita, then try making my own starry sky 1
takoyamaaaS Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 And hopefully it works with ibisPaint. It will probably look horrible because I’m a noob at using the Blur tool
takoyamaaaS Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 I can’t tell if this looks Ok or not because my Gaussian Blur sucks ;-;

Magicmoonss Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 This is what I got, using my own method for stars. 6
takoyamaaaS Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 I possibly did it by giving it a spherical lens and lowering the opacity! 1 2 1 1
Raybeams Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 Did it on ibisPaint- featuring hand drawn stars because there isn’t a good brush. I think I made the colours way too bright, oops. 2 1 2
takoyamaaaS Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 I did it! Turns out filling the entire canvas with white “stars” is good, too- it makes the galaxy a little brighter! And now it looks like slime... yay? 1 1 3
Sky Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 along with a little sketch of a star dog chasing after a ball 8
