GREAT space scene! ONLY thing i'd change is MAYBE sharpen the clouds a tiny bit.

Not much more I can say other than "wow".
I agree with Henry, I think sharpening the clouds a little will help it.

WHOA! Great job on this! Idk honestly what to say so I'm just going to repeat what henry and voodoo said,

god damn, with all the recent space scenes i really wanna do one.
i never have, so this should be fun.
any tutorials/tips/guides/etc i should check out?

Maybe planet tuts, but apart from that, just mess around xD
And I agree - clouds a tiny tiny bit sharper, maybe add a bit of detail to them.

The planet looks pretty pixelated. Also the atmosphere is way to thick and dark, it would look better with a brighter and thinner atmosphere. It looks more realistic and also makes the planet look bigger. :)
The stars could use some magnitude stars, but that is just details. Cool clouds, but a little more detail would be cooler! ;)

I also feel inspired to make a new spacescape actually. Keep it up!

I agree to above posters. Maybe you should change the blue color on the planet to a color more similar to the clouds?

Well, you could start with Martin's Pro Planet Tutorial, then at least read through Alyn's Planet and Nebula tutorials,
which presents different ways create various effects (available on his deviantart).

Then there are loads of tutorials on deviantART; write space in:resources/tutorials in the search-box and hit search. :)
