Hey, thanks for writing the story. It should work pretty well. Some ideas; since the earth is in a state of global environmental chaos, it should looks grey, dirty, hot, cold…something not “Green” and maybe the overall scene can be desaturated, kind of like looking a something covered with a lot of dust and so forth. good luck

Dude, this is a really cool concept!

That latest planet looks really nice. I definitely get the feeling of pollution. I also like your latest concept for the Earth link. I look forward to seeing this one progress.
