It's hard to tell that it is not a photograph.
+1 for your profile pic lol. [jazz music stops]
loop edge mode + !set life embr 99999 and you'll get an accurate representation of the collision between our galaxy and Andromeda
@Pipick, I do somewhat agree with what you said, yes I do need references for most of the stuff I make, that is whether a complete remake of an entire image/picture, or just using different references all combined for creating one scenery. I do sometimes lack creativity, when creating stuff all from my head without any use of a reference, merely because of the fact that I concentrate more on the realism rather than the actual structure of the artwork.
anyways, thanks for the amazing support everyone <3
again, if anyone's wondering, I used DUC's embr script to convert the deco layer to embr
