[IMPROVEMENT 2] After the suggestions and constructive criticism that was made regarding 'Special Addition Artwork 2' I have decided to take some of it on board and cut the planet out from the rest of the image background. This will allow me to use the planet in other areas of the game where I will have freedom to change the background of the planet to whatever I want, a complication I didn't think of at the time of making the original image.
[TECHNIQUE] I initially erased majority of the background using the Rectangular Marquee Tool. I chipped into the sides and the more subtle bits of details using the Magic Wand Tool and finished off with the Eraser Tool which allowed for a more smoother, rounder cut of the rockets edges.
