Chase Two
This is a revamp with the red planet put back using Horo's suggestion of using transparency to make the planet appear to be behind the clouds. A big thanks as I was wondering how to get this planet behind the Bryce clouds. Changed the lighting arrangement. The turquoise tent in the background is from a green radial set at 20. Increased the light on the other radials just a little. Bigger explosion and the side of the mesa from the pilots poor aim. No post work.

Thanks Horo, always interested in you input. And I think the suggestions are right on. I was wanting a sky for an alien planet so I really thought that regular clouds would be to earthly. Ha But I understand the main point you are making. The center of the theme is chasing. By having to much drama around the scene with bright colors or busy skies distracts from the main theme. The examples of skies were very good and thanks for taking the time to link them. Yes I have seen some of the pictures from the middle ages you are referring to and again your point is well taken about the saturation.
Well richter this is allot to think about but I certainly will take it to heart as I have seen your art work and you along with others have a good eye and feel for what makes a good scene. I will try this scene over and see what I can do. I did purchase some other ships from Daz so will switch them out as these ships are low poly.
Very good observation and suggestions. I was feeling the planet was missing something. I like the lighting and especially the way the colors on the mesas turned out in the foreground.
It looks just fine. The planet though is not placed in the most ideal position. From what I can tell the planet looks like a tranparent addition in postwork. We are looking at the shaded underside of a cloud, we would not see a planet in the background shine through a planet. The planet would have been better off had it been placed in between the clouds in the blue sky area. Otherwise the scene looks great.
