This is based on another painting that I dreamt of. Originally it was a modern ghetto built alongside a medival castle in the middle east, the proportions were all wrong in my dream though so i decided to do a piece dedicated to a ghetto which evolved into this enviroment which to me suggest attempts at colonisation on an alien world. Perhaps the structure submerged in the jungle is some sort of atmosphere processing plant, and poorer colonists have built a ghetto in the free domain around the area the surrounds it at the cost of saftey against the elements and any possible radiation that the structure may give off. I like this idea so Im going to do a couple more thumbnail type sketches based on this.
