Good start Alti, love your nebula's, got a few things to say though. In the first image there's way too many stars, the image seems clogged up with a uniform wash of small stars which isn't really what space is like, there's a whole lot more blackness to it than that. The second one is much more balanced, but I'd recommend changing the colours of a lot of the stars too, they come in all colours, but are quite often red or blue. And also where the nebulas are, the stars behind these should be much dimmer than the ones surrounding them, in fact I'd remove all but the brightest ones.

I'm no expert on starsystems but a few colours on the stars would make it more believable, as for the density of the stars, I suppose it depends how close you are to the center of the galaxy.

planatary scapes year 2440 mars city, teraforming for 300 years has made mars a brown colour, it has lost its redness over a few hundered years of rain.

Mars city has over 4 million people calling it home, mostly research tecnitions and terraforming personel.

hope you dig it.
