Description
During my one night off in the last 2 weeks, I managed to do a little playing around with Mandlebulb - something I really want to learn more about. I opened up one of the parameters it comes with, and the resulting image brought to mind the massive Asimov Space Station in Alex's Gunmetal Sky story...
Here a couple cargo shuttles approach the main entry portal on the station.
The ships are freebies by NightmareHero, rendered in PoserPro 2012. The starfield background is courtesy of NASA.
I added some tiny lights to the various structures in Photoshop.
Hope everyone has a great week!
Thanks for dropping by, and any comments you wish to leave - I appreciate it more than you know! :-D

Looks great Rod! Glad that you were able to get some time off hope your next time off is sooner than two weeks
This looks very cool Rod and yes, it totally works for the Asimov Station! Very creative and great looking render :)
I like those tiny lights you added in Photoshop, Big Bro. You do have an eye for details and it added impact to the image. Love your scifi renders as well (aside from the fantasy and pin-ups).

Hey this is awesome...the size of this station is mind blowing!...your going to have to make another render of this station, cause there's so much here to see I can't take it all in... I hope things get back to normal for you at work soon!...and that your able post soon the next page of the TNA girls...
Rod! This is tremendous! A really awesome looking spacestation. It combines organic with human made. Brilliant work,creative and nice touchups in PS.
Kick A$$ Rod!!....Can't be any more to the point than that....The depth this gives off is fantastic! Excellent Sci-Fi!!
This one is beyond cool, really great work Rob.
Astonishing work here Rod. Looks like you worked weeks on this one.
amazing image,super work
Wow Rod...the Death Star has nothing on you buddy!! This is an awesome render. Long live the Rebellion, huh? Ah yes...just innocent cargo shuttles...
gee, your talents Rod have no boundries my friend, awesome farking job my friend. i want a blow up of this for a poster.
So that's what Asimov looks like! Wow. That's huge! I mean, I knew it was really really big, but I couldn't get my brain around what it might be like. This is fabulous!
this viewpoint depicts the vaste base and also the vast universe,and i see myself very very small compared to the cretaion.
Looks really superbly my friend!!!Bravissimo!V:DDD.Hugsxx Whylma
Amazing!
Wow! Awesome, man!! I'm, again, humbled that my story has kind of conjured this up in your mind. Looks so peaceful on the exterior. Hard to imagine the hell that has been unleashed inside. Now you've made me think... I reckon one of those shuttles is piloted by a guy that owes Sterling a favour and winds up being the craft that Shona and co are smuggled back to Earth in. :)
Cool and spectacle work! RodS-san
Awesome!! Very complex station, congrats on the result!! Cheers, -Trifid-

Great work!! Really looks like a movie clip!! :o)
WOW!!! Very cool scene!!
Wow this looks awesome you made this look so much like a space station of the massive size.. The lights do look good too.. First class work my friend!!
Wow I am impressed you built a whole space station complete with universe and stars and lights in 1 day.......and on the 7th day he rested. My bad 1 day. I have no idea what Mandlebulb is. I vaguely recall some guy with a name close to that and being the father or mother of genetics. I think he worked on peas or wee or something, but I suspect this is something totally different. This is 1941 in the count down. I got to catch up before the world ends. Song? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hs7gOC4EQ5k
