hmm, it's really good, but maybe you should try blurring the planet a little (cuz, you know, our planet's atmosphere isn't exactly translucent.) or maybe blue the edges. It looks to clear to be real. Otherwise, it's great!

This is some very nice work, you do not see too many indegos being used as some sort of "natural lighting" in photographs, it gives this other worldly planet effect, is that what you were going for?

Nice texture! You should try to set the planet to screen to increase the realism

i keep reading in tutorials to 'set it to screen' but i dont know what that means or how to do it.... would you be able to tell me?

Yeah, sure! You know where's the blending options menu? You should look at the layers window, at the top of it there should be a dropping menu with blending options. The first one and standart is "Normal", then goes Dissolve...erm..Darken, Multiply and rest. There should be a Screen option too! Btw, you should REALLY, I mean REALLY pay close attention to this menu cause you can get lots of nice effects but changing those blending options
