This artwork is awesome, but I cant get around the complexity of why some alien or future humans race would build something like that. The frontal nodule of the ship is itself larger than any of the planets being transported, then theres the rings that hold each world and the train liike structure that connects each, not to mention the bubbles/domes around each. These in and of themselves are engineering marvels greater than the planets themeselves. Why not just find new worlds? Why not evacuate the planets? Why not use teleportation to make the move? Surely a race as advanced as the one that built the ship could do such things. Amazing visual though.

There are problems with your three suggestions. If you try to find new worlds, you may be too late. Evacuating a planet isn't always easy; if the planet you are trying to evacuate is near a star that is about to go supernova, you only have a limited amount of time before the planet is wiped cleanof life (and possibly off the universal map). And teleportation isn't that simple. Just watch Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon; they created a space bridge, which is a teleportation device, but when it was destroyed, so was everything that had passed through it. Also, this is a way to preserve a planet's ecosystems without having to terraform a new planet.

A supernova doesn't happen suddenly. There are tons of signs thatΒ a star is in decay long before it actually explodes. A society as advanced as this would have the technology to see a supernova coming years before it happened.
Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon is not anywhere near a reliable source of information... on anything. Please, never a Michael Bay movie as anything more than entertainment. Again, a society as advanced as this wouldΒ have workedΒ out any issues involved in teleportation long before they used it onΒ an entire planet.Β
As for preserving a planets eco-system they could terraform a lifeless world, releasing heat from its core, bringing out water trapped in its soil and polar caps, andΒ introducing vegetation, to create a liveable climate. Much easier for a society with this many resources than building a ship that carries planets.
Thanks for the debate. Good hunting!

I hope you realize that I wasnt faulting the art, which is great, more the concept. And yes, thats why I love sci-fi more than fantasy, because it brings up such questions and thoughts and conversations in a way that fantasy doesnt. With fantasy you can just say "but its magic" and that solves the problem. With sci-fi more logical thought is necessary.

Yes, I do realize that. I too prefer sci-fi over fantasy - however, this is a space opera-type of picture, not hard sci-fi, no nothing to be taken too seriously. Like I said, I agree with everything you said. Main motive in this pic is to show something technological in very large scale, logic gets the 2nd place in this scenery. Size over sense, that's the concept here.

Being a SciFi fan, I can just say I love this picture. I was instantly reminded of the various races in the Perry Rhodan SciFi series that built entire solar systems to their like.
Awesome work!

Well, Perry Rhodan looks to be quite impressive accomplish in it's long run and many other aspects.
Yes, I try to keep my visuals flowing and improving if I can. (=

With all the resources it took to build that planet-carrier... you could have built an artificial planet.
But nothing beats the "look at what I got" moment.

I know, but artificial planet wouldn't do the same trick for my viewers than cosmic carrier with 3 big balls.
