This is the third in a sequence of images depicting different stages in the Future History of an “Arcology” – a city/habitat contained inside a single immense structure.

This image picks up where "Arcology: Nightfall" [link] left off.

Fighter-bombers have breached the outer shell of the Arcology and launched a devastating attack from within. The once proud mega-city and its untold millions of inhabitants will not survive this night...

This and other images in the sequence were originally created for the book “Concept Design II”, about 6 years ago now…

This is a different version than the image printed in the book; it is seen here for the first time :)

The entire scene was created in Lightwave 3D, with textures painted in Photoshop. The 3D render was modified in Photoshop to produce the final image.

This is one of the coolest pieces of sci fi art I've ever seen - reminds me of many mental visualizations I've had but never been able to put down onto paper, only into music. Thanks for creating this so I could see it!!

So I guess we now know why they were willing to live under "crushing anvil circumstances". The attack craft come off very "wraith-like" in this view, when seen mostly as silhouettes . Reminds me a bit of B'5's Shadows, on a gut visual level.

Hmmm - someone else thought they looked like Minbari...
I imagine this is on earth, some time after a very extreme catastrophe has rendered the environment inhospitable. The big dome is kind of the last decent place of refuge, and the attacking planes are from another group lacking the resources to set themselves up like this and the city can not support everyone & so must decline many people who want to come in. But basically, they are all human - just very far in the future :D
