Making planets is quite easy, once you know how it's done (and once you have created a photoshop-template, as I have *grins*).
All you need is a texture and an idea what colour theme planet and atmosphere will have. You need to vort the texture two times, making it appear like an orb and then play a bit with the filters. That's mostly all there is to it.
If you want to make realistic planets, with seas and continents, that's another story. I know how to do them but my way is extremely complicated and needs a huge chunk of time... anyways, I limited myself to one try (this one), since I still prefer real shots over photomanipulations.
Making planets can be cool sometimes. This was supposed to be a homeworld for a faction on a different forum RPG game. Kavra Prime of the Kavraan Empire. Served as my desktop for a short while too:P
Hey, everyone, I'd like a dissection of this one I made.
I'd like to know what I could do to improve.
And no, this isn't final size.

Otherwise, maybe unblur the Defender and move the text in the upper left a bit more towards the centre. The text could be white with a black shadow or white with black outlines, the black gives a pretty strong (too strong for my taste) contrast together with the blue and white of the jump tunnel.
The Guardian is blurred on purpose, because it was a pretty bad image, plus Marauders are kinda mysterious.
I'll be modifying the text a bit, thanks for the input!
