Starfield and nebula 

Humm... I don't know if I can be content with that, but I think it's not so very ugly.. at least it 's possible to recognize it as space and stars.
This is for our Star Wars RPG. I created the starfield according to a very good tutorial (just type in starfield tutorial in google, the first hit it is) which worked quite fine.
The nebula is a mixture of an Apophysis flame (I don't understand that stupid program, so I just took the first flame that looked a bit like... cloudy something *g*) and I then started to make the halo and beams with Photoshop. Then I copied the starfield and the nebula together... I like the stars.. I'm not tooo confident with the nebula, but as Ive been trying to understand Apophysis for over half a year now and I just don't get the clue how I can create a flame that looks the way I want it to, I think I have to be happy to have a nebula at all haha.

P.S.: humm.. the stars look a bit square like here.. the original is much better and there is more detail in the starfield (soft halos)
