>>8007741Is fake, unnecessary and frail? Jeez mon, my condolences
>>8006068>when she says she doesn't do anal
>>8006068
>>8014606good shit
>>8006068>>8006069>>8006071mmmm yes pls
>>8006069Someone help me. There's an illustrator who is famous for drawing this sort of megastructure in this sort of style. Not unlike Homeworld. Someone very specific. I've been looking for him but can't remember.

>>8006070>all high tech building requiring enormous amounts of energy>no treeswow must be like 200C there all the time.
>>8024523>>8024524What's going on here?
>>8027980Someone asked the artist and got this response.
>>8012091>ready to settle down
>>8027980It is a cloning machine, and they mistake it for a teleporter. Her love died, and she will never know.
>>8006245nice mouse bro
>>8006068>i'm ready to settle down now
The Line 1
The Line 2Construction started.
>>8029222Are they actually building this monstrosity?
>>8029220>>8029222>mirror glass versus a natural sand blasterThis won't end well at all, will it? I mean, imagine the sheer DAILY maintenance cost, nevermind a "bad" sandstorm.
>>8030984The kingdom has a history of starting and abandoning these sorts of projects. Because they're dumb.
>>8007908this is fucking cool, man imagine how freaky that would be
>>8032090SGI nice
>>8027973you are aware of what the fi part of sci-fi is right, faggot?
>>8033638Fidelity
>>8026673Paul Chadeisson?
>>8034182>Paul ChadeissonIllustrations looks right but what I'm thinking is even before digital. I remember watching an interview about Homeworld and it was an artist they cited that inspired them
>>8024523>>8024524>>8027987nta but 'teleporter' was not an initial thought for me
>>8010537ntago back
>>8034991Why would anyone think two random structures in a field next to each other are teleporters?
>>8030722this will make flat earthers have a stroke and i hope it does
>>8006068A Starbucks would look really cool right there

>>8026673You're probably thinking of John Harris
>>8038829>John HarrisTHIS IS IT THANK YOU
i have a mega structure that'll revive me after death
>>8007697
>>8035617It's a thing in the world Simon Stalenhag created that there are strange constructs scattered all over this small town. Like a sphere where you can hear echoes of your future.So if you were into the "Tales from the Loop" and other stuff he does then it then you might guess teleporter that's really just a cloning machine.
>>8026673Kuldar Leement, perhaps?
sauce is SOLSTICE - 5
make sure the student knows these are for him ... clearly academia owns the rights to everything and i could see them trying to take it away from him. filth. anyways, enjoy your day! live a savory life.
>>8040168honestly that just sounds fucking stupid. Maybe you should rather read some Vernor Vinge. With him at least the height of stupidity is collectivist dogs and not useless contraptions that have no benefit whatsoever.
>>8037854I laughed pretty hard, thank you Anon
>>8006071I saw that short film. It wasn't terrible.

>>8024521More like this.More sci-fi horror.
>>8006241God I still love Halo's covenant's aesthetic.

>>8054409Google H.R. Giger
>>8030984hypothetically, if they were to make the glass out of alluminum it would be very scratch resistant. hell, i bet thin sheets are relatively cheap so you could put silicon glass underneath with a mirrored surface in between to make it somewhat possible. but im not a material scientist, so theres probably subtleties here.
>>8056617Aluminum is softer than glas, it should be even easier to scratch.
>>8056640>Aluminum is softer than glas,(sic) it should be even easier to scratch.imagine being this dumb. first off, your sentence illustrates a basic illiteracy. glass is a type of material, it can be made from a variety of things. aluminum glass is one example. silica glass is another (the kind most residential windows are made of). secondly, aluminum glass is significantly harder than silica glass. literal first result on google:>It is four times as hard as fused silica glass, 85% as hard as sapphire, and nearly 115% as hard as magnesium aluminate spinel. not only is it harder than silica glass, but its hard enough that sand will not scratch it because its harder than the sand.
>>8030984>>8030993They're going to start work on "The Line" right after they finish their hyperloop. Which is to say never as they're both public finance scams.
>>8026215Artist? I like this style.
>>8057932not poster but I think it might be Shirun Song
>>8057932>>8057943Correct.https://ssr2962325241.artstation.com/
>>8006246This one pisses me off because it's curved in two directions. It makes no sense for spin gravity.
>>8040168>Simon StalenhagHis stuff has gotten worse with ever outing. Tales from the Loop was good, the one with the VR headsets was passable, but the recent one where aliens terraform the earth into an ammonia biosphere was just wasted opportunity, he just phoned it in.
>>8027474Very cool
>>8006068Imagine the smell

>>8024523is this the Tales From The Loop artist?highly enjoyable show
>>8040277would
>>8024521That looks so alien an coolWould be a shame if it turned out to be a bald pale guy in a suit
>>8030722The gravitational pull of the disk would totally fuck the planet.
>>8006068yo momma
>>8006245More of Niven's Ringworld, please. This one is nice but a bit "abstract" or schematic.
>>8066119>>8066118>>8066117Cool. I have tried many times to imagine what the horizon looks like on the sides of the ring.>>8066119 Here it seems very narrow in the distance and at the same time earthly in the front. I remember they tried to fly from the edge and flew for a very long time. But I like how the arc horizon is depicted.
>>8066138Given the limits of human vision, it probably looks flat. Maybe a little upwards at the edges of sight. Normal ringers don't get hovertech, and are all living subsistence farmer lives. The RW wasn't supposed to have a mountain, either.
>>8054410it's not covenant, it's forerunner
>>8066151The Covvys are cheap poser knockoffs of Forrunner tech and styles. "Oh, you can use use to do this. OK, so what about instead using this engineering principle to make some miracle machine, I instead make a helmet out of it?"Not that anon, but I can agree that Bungie made some cool looking foes out of basic dnd monsters.
>>8067774Terminal Redux! Great album

>>8065101The show ain't nothing. Try the tabletop game of the same title, if you're into this kind of stuff.
>>8006068Lemme know if you like the AI upscaling on this
>>8073040Adjusting the black levels makes it better. No opinion on the rest.
>>8032398I don't need to imagine. This is the feeling I get when I fuck your mom.
Can't post any atm but I really like the art of Chris Foss, check it out
>>8075580ty was scrolling through the thread trying to remind his name!
>>8033638you are aware of what the sci mean right?sci-fi =/= space fantasy
>>8078960basically that's not true and you're just being a douche for no reason.
>>8078972Eh, depends on the setting. Star Wars is mostly fantasy, Star Trek pretends to be more science than fantasy. Alien is probably mostly science, although i have no idea if an organism like the Alien is biologically feasible.
>>8029220imagine all the dead birds
>>8037854somehow makes it less ominousi prefer the original
>>8079004oops, ment for this post>>8073040
>>8036700Man, I liked ECHO. It had some seriously questionable design choices, and it was slow as molasses at times, but it had an unimpeachable art style and felt like nothing else.
>>8032697Space elevators would probably be insanely impractical but I find them cool
>>8055623What a jolly people
>>8078976I get that you mean there are very different approaches but pretending that "science fantasy" is an agreed upon and commonly used distinction is wrong. The only somewhat commonly used distinction are sci-fi and hard sci-fi. There are of course other descriptors, but these are mainly used by writers and readers of specific subgenres, not the broad masses. It's kinda like with metal genres.
>>8066138If you look directly perpendicular to the ring it probably looks flat, but as you turn towards the sides it would curve upwards. Probably, I'm not an expert.
>>8075856>live on top>go outside>dieThanks Obama
>>8076628Is this the guy that did the concept art for that Dune movie that was never made?
Here's a few that someone made in second life. Unfortunately these were all they had saved.
>>8082936
>>8082937not quite a normal megastructure but its got the scale.
>>8072656>Outnigger
>>8084109What's the story behind this, if there is one?
>>8026351rain world spotted, though if we're doing iterators i recommend outer expanse's depiction
>>8073040it fucked up the red-white striping on those towers along the rim, if i somehow saw this in literally less than 10 seconds of looking at it there's probably more issuesif you aren't autistic it's probably not a problem though
>>8027973Anon, people do dumb shit like this already, on some city squares you fry eggs in the summer, nevermind absurd shit like>>8029220Besides some trees won't do shit when you fucked with the ecosystem enough to turn the whole planet into a city so it stands to reason that they have methods to regulate climate like space mirrors which are a century old concept at this point Now the fun part starts when such a planet has energy or supply issues and suddenly shit starts going down fast Fall of Hyperion had a similar case, though more of a sidenote than the general setting, but I still highly recommend the first two books to everyone that's into scifiIt also had an interesting megastructure in line with the thread, Tethys an artificial river spanning multiple planets
>>8064801just remove it, with photoshop you literally just select it and hit delete and it will fill in with what would reasonably have been there
