Description
While our Scoutship scanned the extraordinary large moon of the gas giant orbiting γ - Draconis a magnetic abnormality was detected. Scanning the area allowed to localize the center of the disturbance. Deep Radar Scanning indicate a huge Artifact that seems to be buried about 66% in the planetary surface. A sphere made of unknown pulsating material embedded in a frame made of also unkown metal. The sphere itself seems to not interact with its enviroment, as no sand or trace of erosion is found on it.
The metal frame however exhibits signs of erosion. The Structure looks very close to the one found in the θ - Draconis system.(AA3)
Possibly remnants of the same race. The shown image was taken by an atmospheric Recon shuttle and the pilots called this one "The citadel"
Preliminary analysis indicate, that we are advancing further into the ruins of a long fallen culture...
My comments:
IDEA: Ok, this is part IV of my Alien Artifacts. :) I am not completly sure with this image. I think something is wrong with it, but i can't tell what it is.
TERRAIN: Terrain created with Photoshop, Terrabrush and TF2 and blended in Terragen and TF2

Nice terrain with great texture
i love the terrain - and the artifact looks very alienish :)
Great Terrain and surface !
there is nothing wrong or missing ... it's perfect! ... and i know for shure: this is no topsidian artifact ;-)
Great txture and a very nice terrain. I like this pic.
Brilliantly done! Love the artifact, terrain/depth and surface; nice atmo and lighting too! V
Superb!!! V
Matthias, the whole your serie is perfectly done :D It's a great pleasure to watch it and study the terrain. You really make a fantastic job with this. As for this one: those lower right features look like they were in lower resolution... I can't wait the next artifact! :)
F den blauen 'Kuchen' in der Mitte hast Du doch sicher einen Pinsel benutzt, oder? Sieht jedenfalls genauso aus. Zwei Dinge, die mir an dem (ansonsten rst interessanten) Bild nicht so zusagen: Ich hte den Kuchen nicht so krass mit Blauten abgehoben (was aber zugegebenermassen Geschmacksache ist) und eine anstatt drei Wellen genommen. Die Idee jedenfalls ist klasse!
Excellent terrain. V
Very nice image, and good idea! Also the story adds an atmosphere to it, great job.(the story sounds a bit like from the game Freespace, isn it?)Now its sure im gonna see your other Alien pictures as well :)
wow.. what an view on it .. the terrain is outstanding interesting and the surface.. amazing.. like it very much !!
oh, ich bin angenehme errascht! du ertriffst dich ja selbst. lhel das terrain ist super gut geworden und du hast wieder ganze arbeit mit der surface geleistet. von wegen pinsel. ;-) das wasser find ich so gut, wie es ist. hast du caustics benutzt? ich mag deine fantasie und ihre technisch ausgefeilte umsetzung. es bekommt ein vote von mir! :-))
imho nothing wrong (maybe the 3 wave surf???)
super Komposition und Lichtverhtnisse, schon das thumb sieht sehr mysteri aus (rechts unten sehen die roten Hel nicht so detailiert aus und passen nicht so zum restlichen eher scharfen terrain finde ich). Ein klasse originelles Bild !! v
Extraordinary blend of surfaces and colors make this one in the series very interesting! I'll go along with prutz: it's the surf. Otherwise it's excellent!
great colors, great textures and great modeling!!!
Just awesome work from beging to end.
Excellent integration, surface attention to detail.
This is a beautiful and very original composition. I like your colors very much.
wunderbares Bild! Wirklich ein toller Blick er das Land! Ein gror Gewinn f "Second World" dich dabei zu haben :)
Very unusual! Like it a lot.
Absolut geniales terraingineering! Total spacig und fantasievoll und etwas strata sogar (zum ersten Mal?)! Mein vote hast du!
Originelles Bild,super Fantasiewelt,interessante Arbeit! Ansonsten stimme ich Lutz zu!
Superb !
Very cool...superb color contrasts, lighting and detail...excellent work!!
Bei den drei Wellen gebe ich Lutz recht, aber Dein Raumschifflandeplatz sieht wirklich Klasse aus. Den knte man doch prima durch die Gegend wandern und in verschiedenen Bildern (Umgebungen) wieder auftauchen lassen. ;-) Xlt!
Awesome landscape!
wow !!! cool render
Judging by the comments here, I don't think there is anything wrong with this picture. You have a lot of detail in this composition and have done a fine piece of work with it. Excellent artistry!
