Description

Jericho IV is a planet rich in a highly reflective mineral. The mining operation here runs 24 hours a day. The surface of this planet reveals only a hint of the mineral lit by a rising, extremely distant, sun. The very thick atmosphere inhibits much of the light from illuminating the planet and this is as bright as the daytime here gets. On the horizon, one can view the two giant planets, Jericho I and Jericho III. The fourth planet, Jericho II is to the back of the viewer. Enjoy and thanks for viewing and commenting.

Very nice terrain texture and overpowering dark atmo that add to the mystery of the scene. Excellent Bryce, as usual , Keith!

Totally cool. I sure hope future mining companies consult you when they go to build their refineries. You've been busy here after not posting for a while, you are definitely on an excellent roll!

You need to expand on the concept of this image, and make version that shows it as a mining facility that buzzes with constant activity.

SWEET! I'm catching up, and wow...I'm glad I'm seeing this (and its companion pieces.) I have a weakness for space art, science fiction art, and well...THIS piece is utterly fantastic.
