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!

I love it, great nebulas, awesome composition, the planet is incredible....except the domes on the planet, which look very weird....a shame....
:icongaladhrim:
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!
:iconuae-designer:
can't wait to :+fav: it :D

really cool pic
:iconhellgfx:
where did you get the satellite from ?
:icongaladhrim:
Made it myself of course with Cinema 4d
:iconhellgfx:
really? i think that we should collab :D
:icongaladhrim:
hehe, yeah someday maybe ;)
:iconrealityfaery:
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 ;)

good thing I left the domes on a separate layers lol that way I won't have to scrap everything else. Thx for the tips :)
