Tired of the same ol' starship? Here's a planet!

Looks real doesn't it? Can you guess how I did it?

Ok, I'll bite. I would guess that you took a picture of the Earth and used those textures to paint your own planet. That's why the land looks real. Close?

Maybe you took a real satellite image, applied a color mask to it, and filled the masked region blue.

Nope! I did it pixel by pixel.

No really,
Sol wins. I drew the outlines and scanned a sat view of earth and cut out small typical areas. I used a clone brush to paint those areas in.

Or maybe I rented a small interstellar charter and took a photograph of the planet.

Here's the "orbital view" I created from the original (quite some time ago, I might add).
