"Habitable? Sure, it's habitable. What's that? Oh, no threat to real estate - I mean, colonization of HTR-Q9. The pulsar inside that very inert, very pretty dust cloud went nova billions of years ago.--------------------------------------------------------

Nice work! Although you seem to have a bit of a flat spot on the top left of the planet. Other than that, you did a great job! Nice use of texture, also

Thank you very much for the feedback, it is greatly appreciated, and helps me design more realistic spacescapes the next time round!

I don't know why you don't have more comments. How many people have seen what you're doing? It's top-notch materiel. You could be illustrating novels. More people need to be seeing this amazing work.

Wicked! I like it - a vast improvement from your previous pieces. And you did it from scratch this time!
Some ideas and tips: The nebula has a great potential, it looks very interesting, but perhaps a bit too hard on the edges, and a with a bit too high opacity still. When making a nebulae, the smudge tool is your friend. Use at relatively low opacity and make the nebula blend more into the background. Also, look at NASA pictures of nebulas for references - not that it has to look realistic, but it'll hopefully give you some hints as what to do
Again though, great work
