Chasm City Vistas

A group of rough shots from and of Chasm City, as described by Alastair Reynolds.

The entire city is situated in a massive crater on a planet far from Earth. Its artificial atmosphere is contained within a series of interlocking domes dubbed "The Mosquito Net". Following the ravages of a terrible epidemic known as the Melding plague, which causes the very buildings to warp and disfigure, poisonous gases begin to seep into the city's center, forming a cauldron of lethal density and temperature. As the once so prosperous city falls, the rich flee into the soaring Canopy in their nimble cable cars, leaving the poor to fend for themselves down in the Mulch.

'Chasm City' Characters



Listened to the audio book of Chasm City, book two in Alastair Reynolds' Revelation Space saga. Some good hard science fiction. Here's some of the characters, as I saw them.

Pagoda


A quick-ish black-and-white pagoda in line with the japanese theme. I didn't use any reference material for this one though, so don't get too hung up on the correctness of the architecture/flora/etc ;).

The Bleeding Edge - Alternate Cover


Watched some epic zen calligraphy last night (check it out, its awesome: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAPuH8fadjw) and, inspired, I tried a different, cleaner look for the cover of my short story: The Bleeding Edge.
