Some of the world's most stunning visions of space are made possible with Photoshop. The ability to combine vibrant colors, photo manipulations and ethereal effects makes the software ideal for this kind of work. Here are 40 incredible visions of space from four extremely talented Photoshop artists.
Greg Martin
Greg Martin has been fascinated with sharing his outlook on life through his art since he was a child. He started out as most young artists do, drawing and painting. Later on, he moved into visual design. Today, Greg works on a variety of projects including concept art for movies, illustrations, and other design projects.
Tobias Roetsch
Tobais is another extremely impressive young artist. He is 21 and lives in Germany. He manages to do quite well selling his space art on his own website as well as the DA Prints store. Something unique about Tobais and his work is that he uses a lot of his own photography in his space art.
Alexei Kozachenko
Mr. Alexei Kozachenko is a young designer I came across on Deviant Art. Alexei Kozachenko is a young designer in his early 20s and currently lives in Switzerland. He started learning design in 2005 and used the Deviant Art community to learn more about his art and perfect his skills.
Just Alyn
Alyn is a spirited young designer, 19 years young. This creative and humorous artist has the ability to create a variety of landscapes and images that are, well, out of this world. He also uses Deviant Art on a regular basis to partner up with other artist and collaborate on projects to share with the community.

w00p January 23rd
I try, but I’ll never be that good.
( )VertigoSFX January 23rd
Absolutely amazing. I personally feel that these digital artists that create space designs such as this are the most talented in their field because it isn’t easy to create a fantasy space scene so believable with so much natural detail…really great stuff. I need to buy one of these for my wall
( )art fan Hannele January 23rd
Amazing images! My experience is more within traditional oil and acrylic painting. I haven’t even dared to think about trying to go digital. Your art really takes off. Younger generation really has something to offer to us oldies. thanks.
