Description This one *wasn't* done at work. So I was able to take much more time on it.

I know there's no big scene or story happening here, but I think it came together really well for a second try. Just hope I can give some more movement to the next one.

This was meant for you not ~joelios , sorry, lol...

Pretty good for a second try. Just try to spend more time on your planets, especially if they're the main part of the scene... people can sometimes spend weeks painting one planet! I sometimes make the mistake of submitting a piece in a rush, which is never a good thing. For some really really good artwork, and very informative guides, check out `alyn's account. From there you'll find alot of other routes to more information and artists relative to space art. Again, good work, and remember, practice is key!

Cheers for the advice, and yeah, planets can quickly become humdrum n dull if you don't do anything interesting with them, I've done another since, and I'm not happy at all with the planet in it. I tried doing a crystalline look... didn't really work.

Well, check out lots of space artwork, get some inspiration. And a good thing to do is read as many tutorials as you can, but try not to just copy and paste them. Draw the techniques from there and build upon them with your own. Just do a search on dA for "Planet Tutorials", you'll get alot of results.
