Description
Many renders back I did an image titled, "Third Colony on Illusia." The Illusians were planning to leave their once beautiful planet due to their sun dying. In that render, their sun was in the red giant stage. Now, it has been reduced to a cold, white dwarf and the inhabitants of this planet are long gone.
The Illusians were skilled at carving and constructing their city structures from entire rock mountains. Their planning of these cities was so advanced, every detail was met with superior skills. This was to be their Capital City, unfortunately, it will remain here, in time, forever unused, uninhabitated and unfinished.
