Space ProjectI decided after seeing many artists' concepts of space, whether of Earth and it's moon or a nebula in the deeps of the galaxy, to work on a set of images depicting space.
I recognize that I quite frankly suck at this, but I would like some constructive criticism on my progress. I will try to do 1-2 a day that work on the previous days criticism, or on a concept that I haven't yet tried.
I'll label each image with what it is and what style I was working on. Also, I will try to work on a topic title image with some of my learned styles.

This was one of my first tries, and it was just a simplistic black background with white noise added to it, and a planet made out of a black and blue gradient. I added a moon with the same process as the planet, then used slightly opaque gradients over the planet to simulate atmosphere.

This was basically the same as the first one, but it tested out the star gradient and showed somewhat flare size differential. I also used a mixed series of green, blue, and brown gradients on the planet to add a less bright texture.

This was somewhat a more advanced use of gradients to create the large gas giant in the foreground. The blue-ish moon had the same process as the mixed gradient planet above, yet retains no atmosphere. I also experimented with a smaller flare size to attempt to show the proximity of the star from the scene.
