I haven't thought of a name for the city yet but it is a mythical city similar to Atlantis. It is on a ocean planet. The sketch was done pretty quick as you can tell. The final image will have tons of buildings and a ocean under it. I have not yet decided if I am going to make the ocean calm or rough. So here is my first sketch and I hope you like it.

Hello,

the idea is intriguing, please keep on roughing down some other sketches, just to collect some ideas and develope them, like details of the structures (try 2-3 different solutions, just put down something) and maybe also some little fast sketches of what you think will be the final point of view of your picture....

and just for fun, I want to include here a little photo (shot by a plane) of a real city in the oceans, that ,actually, is the city where I was born.

thank you, bye.

Here is a model of a standard home in my city. I plan on making a garden or porch of some sort under the sun hood. I am going to be updating this thread alot now with lots of buildings since I plan on having a nice variety out through the city. But first I am going to texture this building.

Here are my cities power cores. There isnt anything in this render for the them to reflect but the sky so thats why they are so blue. In the final version there will be lots of buildings for them to reflect.

I just finished the center building of my city that the camera will be focused towards. I will post it soon but first here are the ruins which will be over to the right. All of the blue parts are reflective they just look that way becuase of the temp. sky in the background.

Here is my city so far. I still am changing lots around so it most likely will be a little different in the final pic. I plan on having a river going through the city as you can see. I didnt put it in yet to save render time when I am trying to put the city together. Oh and the brown hoods that are sort of floating in front of the main building will be moved back to the main building I forgot to fix that before I rendered it sorry:P.

This is a front view of the ship that will make up the fleet in my main pic.

Here is the ship again but I added a redish tint to the windsheild. What do you think looks better?

Here is my city with my ship in the front. This is a WIP lighting scheme but the final might be something like this. I also my change the location of the ship. I still plan to add railings around the edge of the city also.

Almost done. All I need to do is change the lighting a little and add some lazers shooting at the ships and I am done.

I added some lazers I am going to add more ships in the background and add lazer fire coming out of the turrents.
