Nice city :thumbsup: You got the mood right too. It could have looked too crowded but the lights help distinguish certain buildings. 4*

Wow! I really enjoy these dystopic city-scapes :) Reminds of Bladerunner - great pic!

Nice city scape. Makes me want to fly through city between the buildings and see all the streets. Great atmosphere.

[DarkSkills]

Great image! Well done! :thumbsup:

I saw "Klingon" and I had to look. I love Star Trek as well, especially Klingons. Wonderful picture! It does show the greatness of the Empire, and what a awe-inspiring site to behold. :love:

Stunning city there!

As I recall there was one episode (or movie) in which this city was shown...it looks exactly as I remember seeing it, did you use a reference from that?

so good city, what a light !!! 5 for me

Hey man nice work. I like a lot of what your doing. Really nice lighting and colour variation. I really like the beams of light coming out of the tops of the buildings. But those spot lights aren't really working. They are just to razor sharp.

I wonder if the trees are appropriate for your subject. But then again I know nothing of the Star Trek universe.

Over all, once you loose the bat signals, I think this is one of your strongest pieces. Good job bro!!

SeifoSid: Thanks for the thumbs up. I am glad that you like the mood.
Stillx: Glad you like the image. To answer your question, no. I started with a thumbnail & then jumped to modeling and texturing the city itself. Then I rendered several angles & "comped" them if you will in P-shop. The only photo montage happened with the foreground plants.
Gmax: Thanks! I drew inspiration certainly from Blade Runner and modern-day megalopolis' like Sao Paulo, Hong Kong & New York.
Cubo: Glad you liked it, Cubo.
Rawwad:Thank you, man. I'm pleased that you like the archtecture.
DarkSkills: Appreciated D. :)
Tlaine: Ha! ha! I just love the martial culture of the Klingons, their "gravitas" and ideas of greatnes and honor...not to mention their Byzantine politics. I'm happy you enjoyed the pic.
Stuh505: Really? No I didn't. I haven't seen anything like this in Star Trek (Tv or Film) that I can remember. If you do see it please e-mail me a link that would be cool. Thanks. :)
Russta:Tanx! :)
Thenextside: Timmy m'boy! Good to hear ya. Thanks for the critz. Indeed the beams aren't defused enough. But that is what I get for finishing this and posting it at stupid o'clock in the morning. Ha! ha! I was too bleary eyed to notice! :) Thanks man. Talk to you soon.
