Into-
Hey guys, it has been a very busy week for me and now I am taking a short break. I am making some changes to the blog, adding some things. One thing I will be having in every blog is a resource center, with links to tutorials, stock sites, and good textures. Also I will have a section for breath taking space art that I found on the net (I like to search around places like dA for cool stuff).

Resources-
These are some great tutorials and walk-through's I found that I thought you guys would like. I am trying to find some for other programs besides Photoshop so we'll see how things go:

(Some of the dA tutorials have to be downloaded (click download)
This tutorial is not space art but it may be useful for making nebulae or clouds for fantasy landscape paintings:

(Some of the techniques used can be used with making cloud like nebulae 'clouds')

Contest!-
Ok guys first contest stars today!
Like I explained in the last blog, I am going to tell you guys a name of what I want you guys to make, and you make something a space art that you think fits the name. I will judge the entries based off of: Setting, Color, Creativity, and last but not least Talent. Don't worry too much about talent if you think you are not good, because I will mostly be judging it on color and creativity. So just do your best and have fun!

Ok ok here we go the name I have selected is: Journey of Infinite Dreams.

Be very creative. Maybe take a moment to try to picture something in your mind. To enter, just submit your work and then submit it to the club. Don't forget to name is "Journey of Infinite Dreams".

So far I am not sure what the prize will be, other than being featured in a club blog.

Contest ends July 2nd so you have PLENTY of time to make it,take your time.
