Here is a small project personal I made based on the design by nottoscale. Everything besides the sky is 3D made with 3DS Max, Corona, Photoshop and weirdly enough Premiere Pro using the Lumetri color.
I love night render! 
Really awesome! Are the clouds in the first shot comped in? Or are they from an HDRI?

Yes the clouds are from the HDRI image. Its Cloudy_sun38 from CG source. I also created a a noise map with a opacity map to simulate shadows on the mountains in the back.
The ground was made with a displacement map and some good texture work in photoshop. I also added some slight noise displacement to the ground to make it look uneven. You wont find many surfaces in nature that are 100% flat even in a desert.
