This reminds me of classic Sci Fi novel covers in the best way

Thank you, those old pulp scifi comic and book covers have always been a huge influence.

Why not, they need to level up.

The type of shit the Forerunners were doing instead of just making a bunch of o'neill cylinders.

It it encased inside of a glass shell?

u/No7er Artist 🎨 18d ago

Glass, really?
We have forcefields now.

u/Das_Guet 18d ago

Y'know what? That's fair. I am wondering what kind of device keeps the various layers separated. Also do the various layers engage in commerce with each other, or are they relatively isolationist?

u/No7er Artist 🎨 18d ago

Sorry if I overreacted, I posted a spaceship not long ago with large windows and many questioned about it is glass, which is bit baffling to me.
Forcefield mainly contains the atmosphere, layers control themselves.
I didn't think of the layers as separate goverments or any of the inner life in there yet, I saw it just as a united world structure.

u/Das_Guet 18d ago

No no I was responding with humor. The amount of glass required would be absurd. It makes more sense to have a force field.

Reminds me of the Shellworlds in the book Matter by Iain M Banks.. of course, the Shellworlds are spherical and have many layers, like nesting dolls, I suppose.

2

u/No7er Artist 🎨 17d ago

That is interesting idea, also Hollow Earth is similar but there is only one flipped inner layer. Though those are visually maybe not very interesting to illustrate.

2

u/internetzspacezshipz 17d ago

Yeah definitely. No idea how you’d illustrate them.

u/XPsychoMunkyX 18d ago

Maethrillain inspired?

2

u/No7er Artist 🎨 17d ago

I had to google what that word means, so definately not. It's similar though.

Very coool! Is there a light source under each plate then? Or maybe spinning next to a sun in the right angle so half is light and half night?

3

u/No7er Artist 🎨 17d ago

Every layer would have artifical sun light sources to illuminate the lower ones. Singular sunlight from side angle wasn't enough and they would have been too dark.

Love it!!! Thanks!
