Original Planet Design - Island/Archipelago World

Yeesh, it's been a minute! I've been super busy with a move (and life in general), but I'm happy to be uploading again. This is a new planet design I whipped up with procedural shaders, and this was achieved with two ico spheres (one for the planet, and one for the cloud and atmosphere). I took some conceptual inspiration from the planet Takodana in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, as I've always thought this was a neat visual concept for an alien world. As always, here's some limited lore:

Planet Designation "Aleka" - Archipelago World
Once a barren exoplanet without an atmosphere, Aleka was pockmarked by a relentless barrage of asteroid impacts. Once seeded by terraforming efforts, the geography of the world resulted in a planet comprised of hundreds of large tropical islands.
