Description
Phobos Street
Personal piece. I've had people squint at this, and ask "Where is that?" which was sort of the effect I was after. Familiarity with a twist. Not to labour the point, that it isn't the world we know.

The column on the left instantly reminded me of the set piece columns that were used as the entrance to the Bradbury in Blade Runner where J.F. Sebastian lives. They also turned them upside down and used them in Tyrell's office / conference room. Very nice street scene, love it. Gives that hint of desired ambiguity of planet with "Centauri" and "Phobos" in play.

Very nice. Kinda steampunk. Will you render it out completely, or leave it kinda sketchy like this? Either way it looks good...

I love the detail you've given to this almost earthly yet completely other worldly place. Is the Magic Flute a diner? cafe? touring show? What is a hardlight engine. What makes it work? Is it a name brand? Something produced by Centauri Automotive Works? Is the shadow from a cathedral? I could lose myself in the stories this image conjures.

That's an expensive trip for a colonial miner's son. Maybe I can hitch a ride on an ore ship headed for Earth, but it will have to wait until university holiday.

Love the aesthetic of this one, skewing more towards turn-of-the-century vibes without losing the touches of sci-fi here and there -- I want to call it 'Gaslight Futurist', but I'm not sure if that's taken.
