I think as a style it's really beautiful, but because you asked about lighting I will say it's a bit off. Space is really difficult to shade (as we have never seen it first hand to understand it) because light is coming from everywhere. The stars and bouncing off the meteors/planets. But I would say that the light is mainly coming from that large star behind the ship. Therefore the side we see is going to be dark. The top fin of the craft is going to cast a shadow along the back end diagonally and the fin itself would be very dark since none of the light is hitting it (assuming there are no stars behind the "camera"/viewer)

Thanks, now that you mention it, it would cast a shadow. As for the rest of it, I was going for the ambient glow of blue, along with the light from the big star. I've got another in the works, so I'll keep that in mind!

Good luck! <3

That is wondefully sexy! I can't understand how you guys can make space so beautiful and actually look like space. And then that spaceship.. 10/10

Thanks. It helps to have photos as a reference when doing spacey backgrounds. I find it best to start off with a black background, then to think of it as...speckled clouds in a way. I can post a tutorial of sorts if you like.
-
That's alright. I don't want you to do much hassle haha! I sometimes watch tutorials aswell and it helped me with some things. I need to watch a lot more to get better and ofcourse practice more myself. :]

This ought to help. The app I use allows me to screen cap, then I can export the video.

Neat! It's pretty fun watching how it started. But I got no idea how you did it all haha!

Well... 1. Black Background 2. First layer, dark blue wash/watercolor 3. Second layer, slightly lighter blue, cloud like watercolor. 4. Third layer, light blue stars (lots of them) small white stars. 5. Using a very light blue, I draw in a few light patches, then smudge them in. 6. Bright white stars with a little white glow around them 7. the ship

Huh.. Alrighty.. I think I will draw some space tomorrow! :)

Glad I could help
