Making my own background

To start off I am using the tool Paint Bucket to get my black background this is my evidance. I will tell you other tools I used as I move along with creating more images to make my background look more like space.

This is my background so far I will printscreen my evidance as I progress with my levels background. At the moment my background is just black simply because I want to start off simple. I am planning on adding some sort of planet and adding stars to the black background. I will also add the ball which is the gun for the game in the middle as well as the enemies moving closer together toward the gun.

I am now using the elipse tool so I can try and make it look like a force feild so now it is a black with blue on the bottom rounding up. I am also showing my background with what tool I used because cropping it without the background would show the background too.

I have now used the smudging tool so that I can now blend the blue in with the black although you can't see that well you will be able to by the end of my finished edit on my background. This is my evidance of the tool I used now I am going to upload my background once again what I have done so far.

This is my sumdged background so far. I am going to make another post now to show more of my changes.
