Nice. I like the Ring around the planet.
The ring was from a bubble image. I made an inverted grayscale image of the bubbles, and used it for bitmap transparency. It acted like eliminate black. I saved to PNG/alpha, and made an image stroke for E3. I applied the stroke to a circular path, and saved to PNG. In XXP, the circle was squashed giving the difference in ring width.
I used a light stroke image in XXP to make the basic gas stream, but couldn't mold it properly. I used a warp mesh in E3 to get the shape. Saved to PNG.
In XXP, I used another reflection map for the sphere, and used circular transparency at the head end of the gas stream to let the sphere show trhough. The sphere had the MFI pluging applied in XXP to give it an icy appearance.
The planet sphere was sliced in half with half in front and half in back.

Nothing lasts forever...
i like the gas stream Rich it really seems to have movement and flow.
nice!
planet looks like metalic-hydrogenium
maybe it would be good to add random ring-gaps
it would look more natural
