Well, this is my second terraspace, and my first collab ever, this one was with ~DexausMelmac , here's link to his upload .
He provided me this awesome Terragen render (it's on his TG account, for more of his work, go just to ~DexausMelmac )
Then I spend about 10 hours on editing it.
I've made the nebula from two fractals made in Apophysis 2.09 and merged'em together.
The planet in the sky is made from some rock and wood textures repeated in several layers above each other and than auto-blended. I've just made some more adjustments afterwards.
I've spend most of the time, not on the nebula, not on the planet texture, not on the starfield, but on those city lights. I've made them 3 times before I was atleast a bit satisfied. Well, this is my first try on'em, but I think it came out pretty well.

Yeah, about the name, DexausMelmac came with it. I'll copy the explanation from his artist's comments
"Castor and Pollux were Greek mythical twins, one was immortal, the other human. This desert planet/moon is named Castor, and the planet full of life is Pollux."
but I think I'll clarify this a bit more. The moon is the point of view, the moon is Castor, you're looking at Pollux in the sky.
