This is one of my earlier planets. I was going for the Star Wars look. This is a pattern planet and I used Marble for it. I began creating this image by taking a black background and using the noise filter to make the star background.  I then used the elliptic marquee tool to create a perfect circle in the middle of the canvas.  I used a marble pattern to fill in the circle and colorized with a reddish hue.  To finish off the image I used the blending option to create an inner shadow, inner glow and a soft outer glow. This is my favorite planet image not only because it was my first but because it is reminiscent of the star Wars era. It clearly demonstrates my ability to use creativity in the effective use of color and shading. This can be use for the Movies or Websites.
