Thanks szaszgbr.

Your right, the Rule of Thirds... I will try to shift them a little bit. Not too much because they will be in front of the planet... I need before to detail them, to find ideas...

Another update.

Added a big Radar, detailed the left building. The big building could be in fact a spaceship launcher. The space ship desgin will be improved. It is just a test.

Hello,

Please find an update. I added snow in the foreground, extended the mountains, but removed the buildings. I was not very happy with them! In fact I don't know if I am going right? I must find new ideas for the midleground. I need your advices please.

Today's Update!

I removed the runway because it was too present. It gives now most importance to the city/base under construction. I've also added some spaceships
So still lot's of work. Refine the base and the big tower. Find something else for the foreground.
Any comments?

The terrain of the main city looks a little bit more like sand than ice to me, maybe a slight hue shift towards blue helps. Also your farthest mountain on the right (and with it the building) would be vast, considering how distant the clouds are that lie in front of it.
And I would add the lab again that was present in your previous updates. Just make it way smaller so that it fits the scale and doesn't catch so much attention.

Nice work!
