So, I wanted to do the full series of this in my pinkscale style, but I just haven’t had the energy lately so this is kind of a hodgepodge which will link back to a couple previous submissions.

  2. LINK: Caverns between 0-10km below the surface. Centrifugal habitats cling between two boulders, while city sprawls overhead. Heat pipes in distance.

  4. LINK: Inside an individual urban “spindistrict” as seen in 2) and 3).
