those look great :D they layers look each time more realistic

 

-BUT-

 

one cloud layer that IMO didn't like much was too repetitive, the same thing over and over again and in some parts that you were supposed to be see-through they were black. Know which one I'm talking about? One thing you could try doing is to duplicate the image size (let's say its 256*256, double it to 512*512) and make some differences between the clouds so that they do not look to repetitive. About the blacks spots, i don't know what i could suggest.....

 

..and good luck! Those are really looking great. Keep at it.

The individual cloud layer "tiles" are already 512x512. Your not going to get any better random pattern by making them larger since no matter what size you make them, the game will scale them back to 512x512. By upping the size you will only gain a higher rez in the same area. You will also have a performance hit.
