    A Black & White look

    Ceres is almost a uniform gray color so a B&W look goes well

    Looking nice. The latest text is much easier to read, but one thing I'd suggest considering is removing the text's cast shadow on the ground because it obscures the legibility of the terrain, especially since everything is in greyscale.

    The text works really well like that, very clear. I'm interested to see what's next, keep it up!

    That rose is pretty cool. I can't help wondering if it would look good a little bit blended into the planet surface texture? Like it was printed on the surface? No wait, that won't match your text. Could the rose be 3D and floating?

    It's cool, keep it up
