Description
and what if... Jupiter was big enough to start nuclear fusion in the core? It would become a brown dwarf!
I made some meteorologic improvement in Jupiter's atmosphere like heat emission from the inside and...
DOUBLE RED SPOT? because... Why not?
more mass in Jupiter -> more atmospheric events

(so), First of all...
I generated a bump map for Europa's surface, i blend together
1- a noise map
2- genral canyon/valley blurry elevation map
3- icy cracks textures

Then...
I used some of the levels used for the generation of the bump map to create a gradient colormap
(it's a little redish in the canyon, but it diasppeared a little after the final color and exposure correction)
and so i blended toghether 3 levels of Europa's surface
-one for the color
-one for the light/dark areas
-one blurry level for the glossyness reflections (with an alpha mask)

I made 3 (three renderings of Jupiter...)
1- Color+Bump Map (Created using a stock Jupiter Texture where i made a bigger red spot + a second red spot)
2- The same, but without textures (i use this kind of rendering to create the atmosphere glossy level, because i get a better atmospheric layer, it looks volumetric and pretty realistic)
3- Thermal emission mask map (i use an orange gradient to create the heat, and i put the thermal rendering in the mask layer, so i get something like city night lights but it's visible in the night side and it increases luminosity in the daytime side

I added a stellar corona in the background, some blurry glossy level "to make the shine gloww maan" and finally i added a curve correction layer and a bit of cromatic correction.
