I would like to think that the pictures I create are unique or imaginative, but when I really think about it, in all of the vastness of creation there is bound to be something that looks an awful lot like what I have here...and that is a very comforting and humbling thought.
The background was painted in photoshop and the planets were rendered in terragen 2.
I think you should add more texture in this image, I think a strong nebula around the main star would look awesome. But then it would leave a black space at the bottom.
