It's all getting there, but the blends are off...and you need to make the title 'pop' for a cover like this (rule of thumb: 150px resize, see if you can still read the title).

For a dome.. don't try and fill the entire structure, just partly and bring down the opacity...

Give me a few minutes and I'll do one in Gimp and upload piccies.

EDIT: Okay that was getting way too involved and way too many piccies. Follow this guide here to make a glass orb and then place orb over city in your illustration http://www.photoshopcafe.com/tutorials/orbs/orbs.htm

BETTER TUTORIAL and Gimp focused here: http://www.viddler.com/explore/Protocol/videos/9/
