I finally got around to working on the susnet picture again since school is basically out. Added stuff on the left side. You can see the new version here:

I would apreciate criticism and ideas of what to add. I think the next thing I add mght be some kind of ship flying between the mountains.

Well the atmosphere and lighting is fantastic...cant really offer too much suggestions there. Athough the green on the launch pad thing might be a bit too strong...I am not sure though it still looks good.

There is a lot of sky, and it needs something more to break it up and psuh the landscape back a bit, so maybe a ship or something would be a good idea, or a large Zepplin type thingy comes to mind. Make it more inthe foreground though...if you catch my meaning.

I hope this helps. :)

Keep up the great work!

Yeah... planetary lander with maneuvering thrusters and landing gear deployed coming in for landing. :)

...well just a thought. :)

Thanks, ya I think the green is strong also. But I thought about what a green glow would look like and thats the only I thing I could get to work. I may tone it down a little. I also experimented around with the green and thought little green specks looked good on that area of the mountain. So it looks like the mountain is being mined for that green stuff.

it is just great...

I think the slope in the bottom left corner should be smoother b/c these black/grey stuff look kinda weird, especially that there is not as much detail on the other parts of the mountains.

i like it a lot though

thanks, Im working on more detail
