the nose from original image, and I draw the body

for the alien body, I use texture from the dog nose ( using overlay )
and the planet I made from cloud and do some selection on the dark side of the cloud then filter-stylize-emboss

copy the alien and do some distortion and make it black ( low brightness and contrast) then put some gaussian blur on it,

add the planet,
the step is almost the same with the first planet the different is we can use nose texture on the planet and use overlay then do some gaussian blur on it

do some brush and play on the opacity to make the source light that come to the alien,
add the star,
using brush and play on the size of the brush, duplicate and use opacity.
