Heres a boredom and procrastination fueled photoshop for you guys to admire (and critique)... stocks: Spoiler
nyan cat? seriously? Other than that it looks awesome. I prefer my planets with a bit more atmosphere though.
^ Seems really vivid, bring the saturation down some. I think whats throwing me off is that its day time on the surface, yet you can see space. I realize that could be due to a lack of atmosphere on this planet, but, it's just strange. Overall, everything is blended well though.
I think the saturation fits it, and if it were night time why would the sun be visible? Art doesn't have to be realistic anyway.
I wasn't suggesting he change it to cater to my specific request; just pointing out what details I am not particularly fond of.
Epic island is epic! Blending is excellent, lighting is good, too. Depth is missing, and the Nyan Cat is so small and out of place, though, you should remove it, it distracts from the focal too much once you notice it.
