Ok,I took Donalds image and really looked at it.In this one I will only use the Mountain.

I could see I needed an image with mountains running down both sides,distant mountains in the BG,on this one I decided no water.
I could do just ground but I am getting some interesting textures with deserts,so it was a desert/mountain world.
I also wanted something in a fairly neutral color.
So I went into my 3D software Artmatic Voyager and played around for a couple of hours.
This was the outcome…...

Decided I wanted a space ship,to add some life,added the city later,it was done in Artmatic Pro.then taken into Voyager.
I have a very old program I use to build ships,it is no longer made or sold ,it was a Metacreations program,it just kind of disappeared.
Ok used it to build the patrol craft,then as a dxf ( Drawing Exchange Format) i took it into Bryce 3D and added tilt and color scheme,saved it as a psd file and saved it to the current PS folder Donald1( every time I do an image I use a new folder,I have thousands).
So…take everything into PS ,then it cut and paste,using the magnetic lasso to slice & dice.
Once I sliced things and saved them into a transparent BG file ,I make duplicate layers and leave the originals in the file.
I then work with 3d image and add each layer until I am happy with the product.
Then I add numerous color masks to get the effect I want, then just save as a jpg.
Write up the story,using the notes which I’ve developed while doing the image.

Then I upload.

EASY!!!!!!!!!!!!

The one thing that needs doing a lot is SAVE SAVE SAVE.
