Outer Docks by aiRaGe

An android/human- dude is enjoying the beautiful, fantastic view as an transporter ship starts to a long journey into space.
The 'planet ring' is some kind of an city, built around an planet.

Finally some 'real' Space art from me. Having some free days now, i finally had the time to finish this work i started months ago. Around 40hours went into this piece, the result is a mixture of textures (planets only), a little bit of Photomanipulation and a lot of paint. I know, perspective is a 'little' screwed and the painting isn't my best, but i'm quite satisfied with the outcome

Your feedback of any kind is highly appreciated. Thanks for viewing and maybe having a closer look

Very amazing work. I love the details in the planets and the design of the space station. The station looks like it has a bit of Babylon 5 architecture in it, although I can't quite place why. A nice piece indeed.

This was very inspiring.

I found this piece on another site and tracked it back here.

Really got me going this morning and I had to write about it.

I myself just figured out how to make planets and this is amazing, you can even see mountains. I think is it greatness I could use your advice on how to make my work better.

Beautiful detail. I love the atmosphere, it looks realistic. Another thing I really like here is the realistic quality of the stars in the distance. And also you made a cool looking glow in the right that looks like a galaxy. Awesome work!

aiRaGe Featured By Owner Dec 7, 2005 Digital Artist

Thank you for the kind words! It's a mix of digital Paint, a texturing process for the planets and some Photo in there.
