Description
Tried my hand at another animated thing
(It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out how to make the layers move smoothly at different speed e_e; The TARDIS still looks a little jerky, but it was the smoothest I managed.)
Here's a still version in a slightly bigger resolution: fav.me/d7zwufi

ehhh... I like it but... if I may critique.... the lighting on the moons is completely wrong. First, the moons' lighting should also be coming from the same direction as that sunset/sunrise is, so the bright part is basically on the wrong side of both moons. :/ Even in a binary star system, if the sunrise were coming from a weaker star that was so weak it couldn't light the moons, the other star would have to have lit up the sky like crazy to light up the moons that brightly... it wouldn't be that dark outside with two suns in the sky. Nevermind that with the moons so close together in the sky, they'd STILL have to be almost at the same phase - the bright part of any moon always faces the light source/sun/star. Earth's moon has phases the way it does because its orbital time makes it rise about an hour later each night. If the sun is setting and the moon is in the sky near to it, then the moon is a crescent with the bright part on the same side as the sun. A week or so later, when the sun is setting the moon is high up in the sky - farther away from the sun - and it's more than halfway to full. At full moon, the moon doesn't get high in the sky until well after sundown, because the sun has to be almost completely on the opposite side of the planet from the moon in order to light up the entire face of the moon. As the moon keeps rising later and later, the sun's relative position to the moon shifts until finally the moon is a crescent again with the bright part still facing the sun, but this time it's at sunrise, so the crescent faces the opposite way.
I'm sorry, but I just find the wrong moonlighting extremely distracting and it's stopping me from enjoying the picture as much as I should because I really love it otherwise. :/
If you wanted to differentiate two moons, better to make them different sizes and different colors, if not different shapes (moons come in many shapes and probably a variety of colors, especially those that are captured asteroids with different mineral contents). In animation you could potentially also experiment with different orbital planes, directions and speeds - but still, mind the lighting direction!

I'm sorry to read it distracted you to such a point. :/
To be honest, all I was somewhat mindful of, was that the moons' shades went in the same direction when I chose the brushes for there bases. Now that I look at the moons again, the wrong direction of their shades in relation to the sun really is quite obvious *facepalms* I must have been too distracted with the animation part, ugh... Should have completely drawn them myself instead of being lazy and using brushes for help, probably would've been more mindful of the lighting then.
Thanks for pointing it out and for putting it all together in your comment, that's some interesting information right there!
I'll try to keep it in mind and be a little more careful with the lighting the next time I decide to add moons to something.

Beautiful! *^*
Also, two moons. I wonder where the TARDIS landed.

Thank you!
Yeah - I wonder that myself, too ;D And what the Doctor did there... just sight-seeing, or something more?
