this guy is amazing. He claims to make all his stuff in photoshop, but I don't believe him. If you do have an idea on how to create anything like his work, please, tell me.

basicly its just a bunch of layers and blending techniques. it seems like he uses the same theme through most of his stuff though.

omgosh! wow man...i consider myself pretty good with PS but ****!

lens flare and a plugin called glare by flaming pear.......oh yeah you need a solar system image...and I can do it in like 5 mins. If you were talking about creating the whole image from scratch then......

wait flaming pear has a plug in called constellation that can make planets instantly... so 7 mins......give or take minutes

I believe that it's all PS, a lot of it is really obvious like the len flares.

Here are some tutorials on how to create planets.
