Description
"The air scrubbers were failing and the generators were running at less than 15%. Father Nandres died a week ago and there was no one left who could operate a harvester, or any of the larger terraforming machines.
"This field was the only one remaining, and it was slowly dying. Still, there were twenty six other souls whose bodies needed the nourishment. The seminary had not prepared him for the magnitude of the impossible."
"The words of a thousand year old prayer formed on his parched lips as he worked,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve you as I should,
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labour and ask not for reward,
Save that of knowing that I do Your most holy will..."

Are you working on an animation? I'm intrigued... And also very impressed.
Cool ANIMATION! ANIMATION!
a nuclear blast or something like that would look really cool here in an animation. nice touch with the buildings(and the little box), i can imagine really large constructions being used in this world :)
Great job. The atmosphere is perfect!
Great work matey, place looks really desolate
its improving! :-) good render and excellent feeling of desolation! keep it up! :-) ,, peace
Thanks everyone... maybe I will do an animation one of these days, but I have another project in mind so I'm going to abandon this world. :o) I attempted a bit of DOF here with some ground fog, but you're right, it could do with more work. I will post the colony structures in the back for you, RobinOberg. They are actually pretty detailed.
like i told you befpre, i love the scenery, you really know how to create something that dont excist,...
failed? heck the last one there wasn't no village in the background, looks like the mission is picking up :) looks great moe :)
I like this image. It has a poweful message. Great work. I agree some fog will prolly add to the image's atmosphere.

Very thought provoking image! I especially like the red sky and burning sun, giving a ray of hope to a hopeless situation.
HMmm nice concept here LW is a different media i do have respect for but...this is some graet stuff!!!!!
Great lighting in his helmet and the surrounding area which gives that great sense of depth and emotion.
Nicely done, he looks so alone. Did he bury his friends? :) I, too, am waiting for the animation. When you do do it, look me up and let me know. Keep up the good renderings! :}
Wow, quite surreal and scary in an exhilerating way - does that make sense? Totally gorgeous! :) Damnit, I said wow again!
So bleak - I love it :D
