5.5.08 - The Pollution Planet! Last night I was surfing around different galleries, and came across the Faux Planets that Amy Wilburn had made. I saw a comment I'd made back in February, followed by a suggestion by Amy that I had a go at making my own planets. I'd completely forgotten about this, but last night decided I must give it a try. Then I found out how easy they are, and what fun!! I made about 20 planets in 2 hours, talk about OCD :)

There is a wonderful tutorial linked from Amy's gallery, and I would urge everyone to give it a go. I reckon I can make a planet in less than a minute now, plus a bit of time tidying up the seam (if I can be bothered!). Some turn out surreal, others really funny. I did this one this morning and think it looks very sci-fi, almost like the Nostromo from "Alien". Go on, have a go!

I've got loads more here; http://johnloguk.smugmug.com/gallery/4860246_QTSyX#P-1-15
