When a city is that dark at night, zombies are usually involved.

Space Zombies.

Nice picture, btw!

THAT is great. It would be perfect with lights in the buildings, and just a hint of color.

Maybe it's inhabited by a technological version of those creatures from "Pitch Black".

 

[Klaus]

ty all, I'm rendering an overlay of some lights, update to come...

 

[BolianAuthor]

Very nice. It might also look cool in sepia tone.

 

[Klaus]

Here are some lights... I decided to go monochrome with this one, so no color at present.. I may add some later in a new version...

..and sepia sounds neat, I'll give that a try!

That looks kind of like the final scene of The Quiet Earth.

 

[Klaus]

^^I think it was a subconscious influence which I realized after it was done.. I love that movie!

How lovely. I think the skyscraper in the centre there is a bit phallic, though.

Nothin' wrong with that. Nothin' at all.

When a city is that dark at night, zombies are usually involved.

With a heavenly body that large, that low in the sky, any waterfront city of the depicted sort would probably have to be inhabited by the undead. Or by life aquatic. And the structures are probably just big skeletons made of cast rhodinium in order to withstand the tides.

Dig the art a lot, btw.

Maybe he could position it between twin moons...

 

[Klaus]

ty very much all... and as for the *ahem* symbolic aspects of the center building, I'll paraphrase Dr. Freud: sometimes a skyscraper is just a skyscraper.

...and as to the tidal and structural questions, two points: it was meant to be more of an evocative image than a realistic one, but if you want some rationale [engage technobabble subroutine] perhaps the planet and the moon are about the same size and rotate around a common center of gravity? It would be big because it's big rather than being super-close. [disengage technobabble subroutine]
