Orbit - Redux
By ANTIFAN-REAL
9K Favourites580 Comments264K Views
This is a little bit of a revisit to an old idea Orbit was originally just me mucking about but became very popular for prints and publishing however I never really thought that much about it at the time (I was literally just sketching space art as a bit of fun between projects). I loved the idea of the piece so now, 8 years on I've had another stab at it. 
A highly advanced race builds an enormous spaceport off the coast of a continent, dwafing the 20km high skyscrapers on the land, the main structure brushing the cloud layers with near 100km diameter docking spurs surrounding it. Built above the main structure, another level that is beyond the atmosphere allowing craft to dock without braving the weather on the planet
Painted in Adobe PS CS3
Wacom Intous 3 Tablet
Original res 5k wide
About 20-22 hour work.
I used some great photos of Earth from space as reference for the world.

What an inspired and truly talented artist. Thank you so much for replacing the initially cheesy cover for the urantia book with a work of art that sends chills down my spine when i look at it. XD It could be my personal bias, but i see divine inspiration behind so much of your artwork. Combining the harmony of nature with the progressive mindset of engineering is a technique i love to employ in my environment art for tripmine studios. Keep up the good work, everyone loves it!
