Got bored and used the new method I learned to make a wallpaper. No C4D's, only star brushes (in the background).. The 'planet' was drawn and edited. I think I should have kept the original look to it (it didnt look like a exploding planet) because the Script-fu setting for it didn't work, but it doesn't look too bad to me. Criticism?
Thanks Collar: Me too. I think I should have used different colors though (The colors for the planet were dark blue, light blue and white) because it doesn't look exactly like a explosion like this icon I made does:
IMO that icon looks like a explosion you'd see in a videogame. (One that's a few years old though :p)
