By Photoshop, do you mean find a picture or take one, then add a whole ton of eye candy, or draw it? Either way, you really know how to make something like a shoelace look epic.
The planet scene was made completely from scratch. As for the animals, I take a picture and then edit it :P and thanks! Thanks! OKAY, OKAY I RESPOND
I find the lack of stars on the first pic disturbing :P And the tiger is getting quite... used, so I suggest a lion or something :) Nice work, Athens!
Alright, I can easily add more stars :P And it's a snow leopard, not a tiger, but they do look pretty similar :P Thanks for the constructive criticism, I appreciate it!
