Space Man above Orbital Tether by everlite on DeviantArt

I started this concept with basic 3d geometry of the structure. I then proceeded to lay in textures, and finally the astronaut and cord. I’m not quite sure what the structure is; perhaps an Orbital Tether?

Artwork time, was around 3 hours. Images sourced from Nasa. 3d - Max/Vray

Amazing work, and despite a concept, who knows if this is something that'll be in the future generations. Or something of that nature. Lovely work nonetheless.

Thank you, it's an interesting visual concept to explore for sure

Looks very, very cool. I always liked the term "orbital tether", so that's what I'm going with. Very nice sense of scale and depth. Totally deserved DD.

everlite Featured By Owner May 3, 2016 Professional Filmographer

Thanks! I completely agree! Orbital tether does sound more cool! I will rename the artwork now and adjust the description

overseer Featured By Owner May 4, 2016 Digital Artist

I'm honored! I think I first heard the term in a Star Trek episode; it always stuck with me!

Space elevator seems about right... also

There's a starman waiting in the sky!
He'd like to come to come and greet us, but he thinks he'd blow our mknds!
