Added more, all the same base texture. Lens flare is a bit nooby, but I think it looks pretty cool here.

Completely New.

To be honest i think you did a great job Rob. very nicely done.

like it.. gud sharpness and even bg is realistic.. the stars..
i jus dont like the cuts on the texture..

you mean the cracks?

It was a mix of satellite photos, I think that bits part of afganistan :F

added two more, took about 10-15mins each.

actually i like the lens flare it looks pretty cool.
over all pretty good. better than mine >_>

They are all good, on the second planet though there is a big blue spot that isnt blended very well

Bout 40mins. Couldnt get shadow right =/

I dont like this one so much looks very confused, the sphere is nice enough, i think what the colours dont go so well places

I actually like these planet you've been making a lot. The textures you used are really good and teh clouds and everything make it look pretty realistic. I liek it.
