Description
This picture was inspired by (but isn't actually part of) a story I'm writing. I was going to do a bit of postwork on it, but I've decided to leave it as rendered in Bryce. I had to put an extra light and a disk in front of the sun to make it look more like a nice industrial sunset I remember from when I was a kid living in Buffalo in the '70s (an image burned into my mind - and probably my retinas), but it's all Bryce rendered, with only the signature as post. The three nearly identical guys are Daz Studio imports, with Bryce-modified textures.
Thanks for looking and commenting.

From the Merchant Guild Trade Operations Manual (6740 Edition, Rev 1.2):
Travel Advisory
Malth has no central government. Its capital city is in a state of perpetual civil war. Rural areas are often lawless. Visiting vessels should be heavily armed. Visitors should not travel within the city or through the countryside without heavy escort. Guild personnel have been kidnapped for ransom by remote villagers. Radiation in the city environs remains at high levels (~1 mSv per day), though short-term exposure is not considered hazardous. Do not drink the water. Do not eat the food.

Very fine Bryce render! Interesting landscape and "way cool" spaceship. Sounds like a great place to avoid!!

A scary place to visit indeed! A very cool scene - great detail and textures and the sun works well, too! Only one thing I noticed, but at a glance, it appears as if the middle figure has the ship balanced on his shoulders! This is because his head is almost the same colour as the ship, so it seems as if he has a spaceship for a head! :-) Perhaps move him to one side, or sit him down instead? Nonetheless, its a cool ship - hope its heavily armed for this place!
