Developing new concepts; Looking for help Building new worlds

[Sirskankfoot]

Hello, i've been playing with an idea for an eventual graphic novel, or perhaps internet publication, and i was hoping to get a few pointers on the ins and out of fleshing out my new world. The basic idea is that humanity has restarted the human race on a foreign world perfect for colonization named Amadra; but as always some nasties from a orbiting moon believe that its their paradise.

I've already done some small sketches, and im really just in the preliminary stages right now, and ill be posting some of that soon. What im looking for is some advice on what elements are most important when designing new concepts, and what methods are effective to do this. What are some things i can keep in mind while creating. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks much
