A brown haze fills the air and the noise of engines echos in the deep tunnels of the hivecity. Huge ships come out of nowhere passing their way though the unblinking gloom, searching for a hideout to trade their goods. A place for smugglers, bountyhunters or adventurer a place like platform 41, the Steamport.

This is a personal scene for the gigantic, rotting city that lives in my mind (yep thats how
my head looks from the inside) ;)

done in painter7, photoshop CS.

EDIT: made the people in the back smaller.

The Steamport by ~Gobboking is magnificent. The atmosphere and mood generated in this futuristic port is both intense, and relaxing the way the steam softens the image. I find the earth tones add a perfect touch of grit to the image, making it feel like I'm there, looking out over a busy loading platform as people work hard to get through the day.

Wow, thats an amazing pic! O.O
:icongobboking:
glad you like it, thx.

Really well done. The atmosphere of the decaying city comes through strongly. I particularly like the haziness in the background. I found the whole composition to be successful in drawing your eye around and the figures are well placed within the scene. Nice idea behind the image as well.

great picture, very well done. just those two figures in the back distract me a bit.. if they are human, they seem to be way too big.. are they supposed to be some kind of machines?

- about 14 000 people a day were infected with HIV during 2005. Someone's parents, siblings or friends die because of it right now. How does that make you feel?
:icongobboking:
thx a lot, appreciate it.
:icongobboking:
they are human in some kind of heavy armor. I didn't put much attention to it, but now that you mention it, right they are a bit too big.
thx for the advice!
:iconcrippledtranquility:
you're welcome (=

amazing work, i love how you add such high details to the mechanics of the air ships, but still manage to make them look hazy in the backround.
:icongh-mongo:
:wow: The level of detail is incredible!
