Nightfall

So I just finished reading Nightfall by Isaac Asimov and Robert Silverberg. Brilliant! Imagine a world that has six suns, never knows darkness, never sees the stars, and then once every 2,049 years there is an eclipse: and everyone loses their minds!

I've been meaning to get some "sci-fi" into my portfolio since I don't have any, and it seems like everyone is looking for some. So since I was so inspired, I'm taking time away from the mad scientist's apprentice to visit Nightfall.

Here are some very small composition thumbnails followed by two gray scale moment thumbnails :)

Inspired by Joko's thousand thumbnails ;)

The observatory overlooks Saro City and is a major story point. An establishing shot.
