Sky Scrappers....or Space Scrappers I guess

The town contains a a city planet. This planet is essential for my large panning background but will also be a location  the characters would visit often in the show. I wanted the planet to look busy and bustling so I made lots of different shops, cafes and clubs. As with the houses in the main background these decrease in detail as they go around the planet. To make sure they kept in with the designs I currently had I re-coloured some of the existing house designs and added graphics.

Space Farm!

I have other planets in the town that supply the people of the town with amenities and supplies. This is the farm planet where most of the food comes from. I based the barn in the design on the traditional red, amish, barns. I can't decide between these two designs however the one with the square parts or the completely rounded design. I think I like the square one as it is a little different from my other designs.

Yet more planets...hopefully thats enough!

I wanted the space to look as densely populated as i could be. The planets need to decrease in detail the further they stretch back into space. These show that progression.

Plants

These are a selection of plants that exist on the little home planets. I made the same designs in many colours so that there would be a feeling of uniformity that you would get with planned communities. They resemble the houses by being rounded in shape and they are also very colourful. I wanted  the feeling of atoms and molecules present in all the design work. They are based on natural shapes, mostly cacti (because they are hardy plants that have to exist in difficult environments, as do these) but they have a metallic, man-made look to them with the seam and bolt detail that can be seen on the houses as well.

Couple more...

before bed :D I'm not too happy with the first one. I may change it before it goes into the final background.

Huh...not MORE planets

Hard at work all day making lots of planets for this panoramic background. Luckily they diminish in detail the further they go back in space. I have made a tone of trees to populate the little gardens of the planets to make them feel more like home to their resididents. These examples are of the more detailed type of homes.

Town Development

I have been putting together a large panoramic background of the whole town. I am have the design for the main house sorted but all the homes in the town need to reflect each other in style. I need them looking like molecules. This meant they changed from a lot of the original cut out designs I did earlier in the project. These are some of the individual planet homes, I'm very happy with them.
