Tail needs to be longer, the comet needs to be translucent (dither for this) the lil'... whatever you call them in the front of the comet need to go.
 
Otherwise, great colors.

The colors are good choices.
Seems to me this is all about smoothing and fading the tail out.
I think this is a job for Super Ditheran.

It isnt much of an update but I cut the tail down a bit.  And also with the dithering...Do I use black or other colors?  Dithering isn't my strong point =\

I did a very quick example and is ony intended to show you an easy way to go from color A to color B. Study and work it out, I did NOT do a good job just a visual sample of the idea :D
