super crappy galaxy

first try at a galaxy using this tut [link]
it looks okay from a distance, but up close it really looks like shit, hence the title.

i messed up a couple things, and strayed WAY too far from the tut, but this is definitely not the last one youll be seeing from me.

cs3 + 4-ish hours
original size 3533x5119

thanks for any faves.
