ATLAS I: Arrival
"The light of our new sun scattered through the hallways, ever changing like a kaleidoscope with the rotation of our generation ship. Command had issued all settlers to ready up as we approached the planet they named Atlas: the world-carrier.
My family was among those who had signed up to colonize the new world and extract what good it had to offer. The maneuver was a one off. We only had one shot to get all the necessities down to the planet while the generation ship would use its gravitational pull to sling onwards in space.
A vanguard party had been dispatched years before we entered Atlas' orbit to prepare the landing site for our arrival and given green light for the settlers nine months before the day we were to set foot onto the soil of our new home. There were approximately thirty thousand people to mount landing craft on the day and as we felt the dropship detach from the mothership, every single soul on board knew that our generations-long voyage had found its end."
Proud and relieved to finally introduce you to ATLAS, a collaboration hosted in The Workshop, that went up and down many mountains until I decided to do all parts myself.
It was a learning experience, certainly for me, and while not as originally envisioned, it was successfully completed in the end and I want to thank the tagged folks for their input and their presence that kept me going to the finish line.
This scene, and all to follow in this series, was captured entirely in camera. Screen background with complementary light on the left; background build on a bent 48x48 baseplate to give the sense of the curve of the inside cylinder of the generation ship; front layer built flat; bitlights spread across the brickbuilt elements.
