Planet

Okay with alot of help from Rabies tut (thanks again) I managed to creat my first "real" planet. I tried to make it look like a desert planet with the odd lagoon and rainforest (the original texture was black and white) in places. I'm not sure if I have pulled it off well, but then again its a first time for me so yeah constructive criticism please :D

Hehe, nice to see someone using my old tutorial again. :P Ok, here comes some critisicm. It's a little over saturated. Darker, softer colors would do the trick. Also, it needs an inner glow, to make the atmosphere look more realistic. And I would go with a more bluish atmosphere for this one, it looks more habitable then. :P Since the shadow is so strong, you could compensate a little bit by making the glow around the planet stronger and more white. Strong shadows comes from strong lightsources and strong lightsources also affects the brightness of the atmosphere. :)

Hope that helped, good luck with your next planet!

Hmm, all i'd say is there is a bit too much colour , but i like the detail, some areas are just unrealistic looking and too saturated. + too light =)

Okay points noticed and thanks.
