2004 SPACE ODYSSEY

My first shot at space art. And if you ask me, it's pretty good for a first try. This took about an hour to make with total of 15 layers. Everything is 100% done in photoshop from scratch. Just 1000x1000 new black canvas and me. The texture and guidance of the planet kindly gotten from [link]
As I am just building my leet skills in space art, I would REALLY apreciate some constructive critisicm. But I don't need that reality bullshit. " Planet don't really look like that." " omg, that kinda star dus nut exixtws!!2" This is art, and I consider myself as an artist of some sort and I use my artists freedom. This is not supposed to be reality, but science fiction. But if you know how to boost up some textures/effects. I would really apreciate that.

I hope you enjoy
