An image depicting our World in the future. A majestic antigravity cruise ship is tended too 8 hours before it departs, its passengers boarding in their own time from the terminal building and personal transports, knowing they will not see Earth again for 9 months, twenty Star systems and 165 light years.

Reminds me of Phantasy Star. I love how the light reflects off of the buildings in the background, plus everything looks so calm because the light, vibrant colours. Very beautiful, nice job!
Talk about a small world! I found this beautiful painting on another site years ago, ( [link] ) and I've been using it as a wallpaper from time to time since. I just happened to spot it here on dA, the original piece as it was posted by the artist. ^_^ Now I finally know the name of it! Being the sci-fi nut I am, I love these types of environments and your Prometheus piece is still my top favorite, even after all this time.
I love the greens in this picture. It really drives home the story behind it. They won't see lush grass, a wide open sky or the turquoise ocean again for so long. The utopian image is the antithesis of the cold dark of space. The description really adds an extra depth to this piece.
