I think your stars are a bit too evenly spaced.

The composition feels decent to me, although the style seems overly simple.

Not_A_Hat is right: The stars don't form a believable night sky. It would help if there were some spots of empty space and if the stars were organized into faux constellations and clusters.

Also, the blue portion of the sky closer to the ground, what is that? What is the orange band separating the sky from the ground?

One thing I do like about this image is the choice of purple you used along with the color of the stars. It does look nice together.

For an image that uses stick figures, I don't dislike this nearly as much as I probably should. Literally nothing about this is realistic or believable, but I feel like that could actually be used to the writers' advantage, for inspiration.

There is enough going on here that you could make a story off it, but it's also incredibly vague.

The closest comparison I can think of is the album cover to Sextant by Herbie Hancock. Similar premise, although obviously that one is infinitely more detailed.

I don't know, man, I like this enough.

Ok, I am intrigued by the stick figure on the left. He looks like he’s freaking out, and I want to know why.

This kinda reminds me of the album cover and liner designs of Radiohead's "Kid A." I'm totally lost as to the meaning of it--you could project any number of meanings onto those stick figures in the grass--but I get the sense there's some large gears turning here. By all conventions, this shouldn't make me feel as uneasy as it is.

To me it looks like somebody lying down.

A quiet little night scene. Yes, the stars are a bit too orderly. It should be easy to get a story or two out of this one.

Since no one else has brought it up—they're meant to be in a bubble, aren't they? That's why the lower part of the sky is darker, because the rest of the dome is reflecting the ground.
