Thanks for the feedback Azelor! Glad u like the texture. As i wrote, i'm pretty happy with it too but my problem is, it seems to be to small and not detailed enough for my purpose. The "map object on sphere" function in gimp is blurring it even more. Thats why large parts of it are looking more like clouds than planetary surface (which was not intended btw ) ... although it might be the gradient making some parts too white which gives the impression of clouds. If it is downscaled it looks ok, but i'm currently working on a larger and more detailed texture. Not sure if i'll go with a generated or one by myself. Will post some WIP on this soon.

You're braver than me : I've never done a full background (just arranged/worked existent pictures)!
Haha, thanks Ilanthar, but i'm not so sure if its brave of me or rather foolish! There is still a lot to do on the starfield... As with the other parts (the small planets in the upper map are only placeholders done with a brush i found in my brush folder) it's all provisional and no element can be sure not to be drawn into a black whole the next minute. The names on the main planet indeed need some rework (as the whole thing i guess...). I have to find out if there is a way to do something similar with vectors/paths so it won't be so distorted...

Well, there are so many things to do ... It seems that im riding the U.S.S. "Hybris" right into deep space XD
