For my book "Rising Sun" ... oh how I love Photoshop! I found a tutorial on planetary bodies and experimented for an afternoon. This is the system of Deriman, the great red star. It is a relatively cool star, and boasts two planets, the habitable one I called Derrisk, and a gaseous sister planet, seen gold here. The planet's name is Ritike, the small grey moon is Rimane, and the volcanic moon is Relike. Because the Naikan people know no difference between the distant planet and the closer moon other than color, the gas planet is known as one of the "moons" of Deriman.

Rendered entirely in Photoshop. Full view, please

Edit: Added solar flares and hot spots!
