Contests / 2009 / Beyond the Frontier / Centre of Power

SlashTHREE exhibition 12: Steampunk

Steampipelines from Earth to Mars.
Once upon a time the people from Earth found out that mysteriously enough steam is the best element to transport energy.
In order to connect the self-expanding pipes with outer space, humans had to build up barriers around their planet with machines which create an artificial atmosphere and clouds. That's the glass bulb you can see around the surface.

The Centre of Power in this image of course is the garden of Eden, our planet Earth.

Sequel:

All my resources here:
The pipelines are overpainted photos of the tubes in our cellar. The planet texture is an highly manipulated earth texture and all the other stuff is painted.

This image is quite a step-up for me since it is the first time I actually worked with perspectives and I only used my own stuff for this. Hope you like it, and thanks a lot for your support!
