CnC Space Explosions

[AlexIsCoool]

I recently started getting into making space scenes in Photoshop. Tell me what you guys think.

This one is the best one.

This one is suppose to look like Saturn.

This is the first one I made.

This one is the least detailed, I made it to experiment with the pen tool, that is how I created those lines.

they're nice but the textures you're using are poor and the planets have no atmospheric glow.
use inner glow

example of mine

What kind of settings do I use? I tried it and it didn't look to good.
Also, do I darken the atmosphere on the far side of the planet?
