TRANTOR - At the beginning of the thirteenth millenium, this tendency reached its climax. As the center of the Imperial Government for unbroken hundreds of generations and located, as it was, toward the central regions of the Galaxy among the most densely populated and insdustrially advanced worlds of the system, it could scarcely help being the densest and richest clot of humanity the Race had ever seen.
Its urbanization, progressing steadily, had finally reached the ultimate. Daily, fleets of ships in the tens of thousands brought the produce of twenty agricultural worlds to the dinner tables of Trantor. Its dependence upon the outer worlds for food and, indeed, for all necessities of life, made Trantor increasingly vulnerable to conquest by siege. Isaac Asimov (Foundation)

Here's the first piece of a series I intend to do based on the "Foundation" trilogy and all the other related books (something around 7 I think). So I'm pretty proud with this one considering its the first time I draw a cut-up close up of a planet.
Hmm, I feel like I have to explain something. The weird things on the planets are not explosion, not huge balloon for kids but domes! Let there be no mistake, hehe.
So let's hear what you have to say about it and let's hope for the best!

Hoardes of detail packed into a thrilling scene Trantor by ~Galadhrim puts size into perspective in style. (Suggested by `j4m3sb0nd and Featured by `alyn)
sadly I cannot agree more on the domes.. though I found they gave the piece a kind of fantasy looking one.. Oh well, I'll just kick my butt and work on it sometime, hehe.
Glad you liked it!
yes i agree on the domes, they seem to not fit on the planet. it just may be the size, or maybe they need the lighting manipulated on them to get them to look right, but now that i think of it, the ones closest to you, the perspective needs to be changed, they are sticking out as if they are on the side when they probably should be showing an angle just above them...imo, not quite sure though.
but otherwise, great idea, very very nice

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
