I think it needs more details. Since there are two worlds colliding with each other, you should make it like crazier, more powerful.

Also, get some galaxy things in the background. Get some colors too it will be good!

Get some inspiration here: [ link ]

Now that's a nice step! You should now start to work out the details, don't make everything so big. Paint small draw small. Add details. Lighting, textures and stuff...see the great tiny details in that website above? That's the step you are going onto now.

Remember, if your final rendering has a smaller size than your image map, then there is no way that the map looks low-res in the rendering.

UVW mapping ? What's that O_O. Erm, you mean if i use canvas of 1000 x 1000 and the image map is 2000 x 2000, there is no way it looks low-res ?

Yes, since that map image is that big, and if being resized to half of your final image size, why would it be low-res?

It is just logic.

UVW Mapping is one of the modifiers. It allows you to map things even more precisely.

Oh you are not doing that? You should do that!

Map a sphere with the planet's map or texture, then create a light to shine on it. Done!

Very nice, but the shadow...

What shadow did you use? Use Area shadow, and in the parameter, get the size as 100-250.

(in Area Light Dimension, as in the attached image; change both dimensions)

I usually use target spot to cast the light. It all depends on what you want to show

No, because you can change the multiplier!

Sounds like you do need some basic training!
