Description
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!

Looks great! Brilliant colors. I rotated it 90ยฐCW and cropped it to go on my desktop but there's a lot of detail here, maybe too much for a wallpaper, especially resized down. Seems as if a print is a good place for this?

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

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!

i think the domes look fine, its just that i never imagined it as domes in the books! i always thought of it as like a second artificial surface to the planet, segmented into even blocks, with the occasional tower looking over them. sort of like a metal shell around the planet. but i do like this image a lot. what other parts of the books were you planning to represent?
