Spiral Galaxy WIP

[JessieNebulous]

This is my first attempt at a digital galaxy painting, made in Krita. I intentionally kept it simple as I nail down the technique. Thoughts on how it looks so far?

Looking good Jessie. I think the white in the middle is a little overpowering.
Maybe add some color to the white or make it smaller. Just my opinion.

I love this as it is. It makes me think of my mortality, especially lately. It's a beautiful work and also makes me feel connected to something bigger than all of this.

Great colors! I think the perspective is a bit off though. The center gives the impression of an offset axis that the spiral of the galaxy doesn't match, I think. I love the way the core kind of sinks in to the mass of the galaxy though. That looks really cool.

I love the softness of the galaxy itself. I'm not sure about the bright white center. I think the edges of the center map be too defined. Perhaps softening the edges will make it more of a glow than a well-defined object.

Hello Jessie:
The galaxy is great as noted .. the spiral does not get me into the hole which would not be so stark and naked it there was a tunnel leading to the light. A gradient of dark to light in color and value down to the hole should help pull one into it and then you white would not be so white.

Looking good so far.

I appreciate everyone's comments and critiques! I will take them into account as I continue working on my digital galaxy technique.

This is looking good, it has a lovely floaty feel.
