Enigmaby ~Regulus36

Digital Art / Mixed Media / Sci-Fi

During the height of the Mineral Rush, on the unnamed sixth moon of Orluk, a lost prospector stumbled upon something extraordinary; a cache of bizzare alien structures. They seemed to resemble the description, only whispered in rumors, of other strange structures responsible for the disappearance of a ship and its crew in another arm of the galaxy. Based on the prospector's shakey description, the newly found towers apparently consisted of several different, some possibly new, designs.

These, however, did not appear to be turned on. After raising enough funding, the Planetary Anthropological Society (PAS) built a research outpost here in the heart of the structures to study them. Mysterious questions abound in this system; perhaps the largest is what happened to Orluk's innermost moon approximately 5,000 years ago? Based on extensive astro-surveys, the destruction was not the result of a collision with any known object; at this point the cause remains undetermined. And what can explain the rest of the moons' strange orbits? The structures reveal little about the builders and their intent, even their reasons for choosing such an inhospitable location for their construction.

120 years after the PAS built their outpost on the moon now called Enigma, there has been no change in the status of the towers. Being constructed out of strangely interlinked carbon nanotube-like molecules, they remain impervious to all but the most destructive methods of study. What secrets lie inside them? What were they placed here for in the first place? And perhaps most important of all, who built them? These questions remain unanswered.

This image is a collaboration with

Love it. Just wish it was wallpaper size. Still one of my favorite space art pics ever. Great job!

~Regulus36 Jan 31, 2011 Professional General Artist

Thanks! i didn't post a wallpaper in the latest pack, did I? what size do you want, but keep in mind the clouds are a photo so if I go too big, they will look pretty bad

~fuzzycut Feb 12, 2011

1920x1080 ok?

~Regulus36 Feb 12, 2011 Professional General Artist

Probably, i think i can run some filters on the clouds to make them at least look decent at that res ... check back soon
