Marsport

It all started with looking at the pill shape, the equal straight sides with rounded ends. I drew out the basic shape with varying degrees of contours matching the shape within. When happy I started to get it into the perspective and began painting in and populating various aspects of the inside dwelling. I wanted to convey the idea of an ecology of some sort outside the mars system. The middle hub rotates independantly to the rest of the station to allow ease of docking. The front armatures near the docking ring are mirrored to disperse light throughout the dwelling. Whether this shape would create a decent gravity for humans is left undecided, maybe go back to the original cylinder, I just thought the pill shape cool. Illustration done over two days.
