Chasing the Dawn!

Well, I made the background for this when I was learning how to draw planets in Photoshop some time back. And I learned how to draw planets to get the perfect planet for this concept I had in a dream, of having a migration of glowing butterflies across the globe. I swear, I'm not lying.

I have since realized that there's countless tutorials about making planets online, but it's much more fun doing it yourself. Practically everything uses default brushes, but I've used a brush that I made myself for the glow around the "dawn". If you want that brush, drop me a message on my blog's tagboard or something.

Edit: 9 June 2006
Someone asked me about how planets was done o.0 so I decided to make a step by step thing. I'm assuming that if you're viewing this, then you probably already know about how photoshop works and you can recognise when I'm using filters, brushes, etc.
