Novel Cover - DCDP - 01-29-2023

Hello everybody

First, I share you my current work : a cover for SF novel.

Secondary, I need some tips because I'm not totally satisfied of my work.
The spaceship and space background are like I want: close to a artificial work.

But the planet seems too real and too different graphically in comparison of the spaceship.
I tried a lot of setting and modulations without a good rendering (as I want).

Could you help me with some advices that might send me in other ways.

Thanks a lot.
I'm sorry if it is not the right topic trend.

There is a plethora of artistic effect in GIMP, go to Filters > Artistic, (Cartoon or Oilify might what you want)
If not enough, With the G'MIC plug-in, go to Filters > G'MIC, a window opens goto Artistic the list is impressive

If you don't have the G'MIC plug-in in GIMP, it's over there > https://gmic.eu (official website)

The planet could have some clouds.And put to scale the roads are huge (assuming these lines are roads).

Thanks for this advice. G'MIC is interesting. But no plug-in for Mac OS-X.

Yes it's a part of the problem.
