| It looks great! Are you going to add a background or leave it transparent? |

Some background but I haven't decided on what kind. ------------- I'm running in the desert, running in to the sun, running out of blood and I'm going numb. |

I like it! I especially like the simple frame for some odd reason.

| Space background is nice, not a fan of how saturated the darkest blue is. |

Yeah I thought the whole thing was a little too bright. Updated. ------------- I'm running in the desert, running in to the sun, running out of blood and I'm going numb. |

| I'm a little confused as to why a blackhole is white but I think the top and bottom of the planet don't match your perspective. The planet is being pulled to the back left whereas the points of the crescent shape the planet is now making are pointing directly to the left. Which also means we should see more of a whole planet on the right side facing us, keeping the crumbling strictly to the back-left face. |

| This is damn cool. The black hole, or whatever it is, really seems to glow. Awesome! |

| Looking great. Really dislike the grey boarder though. |

What do you suggest? It feels incomplete without it to me. I'll whip something else up in a little bit.
How about this? Simple but effective ------------- I'm running in the desert, running in to the sun, running out of blood and I'm going numb. |

Looks good. Overall it reads as a 'line' layout wise. Maybe adding some subtle curves or swings in the BG will help matters.More comets, a nebula, space cloud, etc. I kinda agree the darkest blue is over saturated and since you have the colors why not AA the blue glow on the right hand edge? You color sense remains top-notch :) ------------- |

Thank you, I don't deserve such kind words. 
I've toned down the darkest blue ever so slightly (again). AA'ed the right side of the glow, that was the only shade I could use there so it isn't very noticeable. Also made the background elliptical shape by expanding the dithered clouds and stars and now they kind of fade out.

And retry  ------------- I'm running in the desert, running in to the sun, running out of blood and I'm going numb. |

I like this best. The brown doesn't help the blue glow line? ------------- |

Didn't think of that. Back to the drawing board.
E: Nope the #3E2E2C doesn't help. That one? But it's an uncontrolled mess. 
Compromise? ------------- I'm running in the desert, running in to the sun, running out of blood and I'm going numb. |
