Distant Earth

My first attempt at something like space art...I did the terrain work with the expander filter in WorldMachine (after a hint by Markal) and the render in TG. The postwork is completely done in Photoshop 7.

The image is called "Distant Earth" and depicts a research base on one of the small moons orbiting the newly discovered inhabitable planet Ashkar (also called D.E.). The base was built over a period of fifteen years and is completely subsurface; even the whole transport system is underground due to the lack of atmosphere. The base and the moon still serve as a starting point for expeditions to Ashkar to clarify if the planet is habitable....

Hope you like it.
