Artwork 570: The Little Ghost Nebula

Recently, I dove into the cosmos with my digital paintbrush and created this piece, titled "Artwork 570: Little Ghost Nebula." This artwork is my interpretation of the celestial beauty found within NGC 6334, often affectionately called the Little Ghost Nebula.

The Process

This digital painting was brought to life using Paint.NET, a powerful yet accessible image editing software. The creation process itself took approximately 16 minutes, a testament to the immediacy and expressiveness of digital art.
