Oro TDS Station

A color corrected update of a familiar TKP image art piece...

I have been meaning to upload this correct color version of this piece ages ago but kept getting sidetracked. Going through some files I snagged a few for updated uploads so here's the first.

These are actually the colors, as I intended, when I originally did this piece (with some later tweaks here and there). Due to my CRT old monitor slipping calibration the piece I had previously uploaded was actually way off color, with a strong green hue. While I liked that variation, to a degree, it also lacked the contrast punch it was supposed to have. It's nice to finally upload the corrected version as it was meant to be (should have done so ages ago).

The old piece can still be found here: [link]

An illustration of a sendai repair station/club. Our little fellow standing out front smoking is a sendai bio-mechanical life form. Sendai are a large part of the populace of the SOL system and depending on where they live experience varying levels of slavery, subjugation, or freedoms.

This building is on the planet Polemos which has more free sendai overall, and therefore is a sendai run establishment. On Polemos, due to the more relaxed attitude toward sendai (though there are still tensions with humans none-the-less) sendai tend to be more active politically and socially therefore we have more places like this. On the planet Indus, this dynamic does actually exist as well but tends to be more regionally specific due to the more polarized nature of human sendai relations overall on Indus. Some political blocs on Indus are simply not very friendly places for sendai to try to take any roots or freedoms.

A lot of backlog to sort through...
