I did more on this piece. i know it's a long way from being finished, and the background really bugs me. I'm just not sure how to fix it. I suck at atmospheric perspective. *sighs*

I'd suggest getting some photo references, or knocking out a few hills. They're a bit repetitious. Atmospheric distortion is sky coloured, so most of the time it's light blue if that helps. I'm still new to landscapes myself though. References is a good idea if you're unsure though

  It's on a desert planet, so a wanted to use a warmer color, since blue would make it feel cooler than it really is.

  There's ways of do it with it looking warm. The stuff in the distances could have a purple hue instead to warm it up, but it'd still be blue cause oxygen reflects blue. http://www.google.co.nz/images?q=desert+plain&um=1&hl=en&tbs=isch:1&sa=N&start=20&ndsp=20 <- check out some google images. it'll give a better idea about how the colours shift in the distance. Unless the sky isn't blue for some reason, or there is more light coming from another light source that cancels it out. Of course, artistic licence comes into it too so it's up to you
