New fictional planet system in the making

Hello,

I'm announcing a new fantasy solar system I've been working on since Christmas. Below are some various images of the first planet, I'll be sending pics of the other two I've made sometime soon.

The first pic:

So what do you think? Any comments?

The clouds have weird dark edges and don't look particularly cloudlike - the edges look wrong.

Does that mean you're going to be creating a whole bunch of impossible worlds that don't remotely follow what the real universe does?

Well, this planetary system is actually going to be based on an old computer game which I'm quite fond of, the clouds in that game had bluish edges, although not as extreme as mine. The reason why I made mine more blue is because the planet sort of needs a bit more of that colour since there are no oceans. I think the clouds are ok as they are, but I may tweak them further.

Depends on how realistic the worlds in the game are, I suppose.

A new planet to look at:

Now that we have this new big image I may reduce the first planet's pic to a link or a thumbnail to reduce loading time. I'll see if I can change my avatar pic for this new planet as well.

Don't forget to fix the pole-warping for the clouds as well.

None of the pole pinches or texture seams have been fixed yet, I'm still working on getting the right appearance for the textures before I get onto that. :wink:

Oh, okay.

Well, I do that last as well, so nothing to worry about.

Thanks, I haven't been on the forum for a while, but I've started on making a third world (a moon, actually). I'll see if I can present some pics of that soon.
