So I made an art today

So I've been meaning to get into digital art for a while, but never got around to it. So a couple days ago I decided to try it and started a project. I'm pretty sastified with how it turned out. What do you guys think?

That is actually really fucking beautiful

Thanks! I really enjoyed making it.

That's pretty awesome, to be honest. I am impressed.

As a critique, the top right of the planet (where it meets the white glow and black of space) looks odd to me. It seems like it's outlined when it shouldn't be.

Anyway, what did you use to make this? Photoshop? GIMP?

I used photoshop. And yeah, on the atmosphere layer I erased some of the outer atmosphere because it stretched along the planet into the darkside. It's a bit more visible in some places then others but I like how it is now.

...interesting.
What was your method?

Well, I used multiple layers for the atmosphere, the texture of the planets surface, and the shadow. I found a picture of a rock and used the clone tool to make it 4000 x 4000, I then used the sphere tool to make it like sphere. I applied some effects to it and played around with it and snuggled it in between the other atmosphere and shadow layers.

For a planet with a blue atmosphere there is a severe lack of water.

Shhh >.>

There can be some water on it, in the dark blue spots on the land, or the dark side of the planet

I remember watching a video going through making easy realistic planets.
