There was a request to upload the background I did from this old pic I did: [link]

Apparently I hear that it can be used as a nice wallpaper so please, help yourselves to it. ^^

I'm planning to make a Painter 8/9 tutorial with this picture as well. Would anyone be interested in seeing that? I'm definitely going to be coming out with new landscape/architecture pictures soon.

In any case, I've also written some information for this picture in regards to the Technoguild storyline we have going. Enjoy and please feel free to ask questions!

"Base: #7
Environment/Location: Sky/Atmosphere
Codename: Avalon

Avalon, the legendary island of mists in which King Arthur sleeps. Such is a fitting name for the Guild’s central command center. Using advanced anti-gravitational technologies, Avalon floats silently in the planet’s atmosphere. The sleek, mobile aerodynamic design, powerful thruster engines and arrays of shield, hologram and cloaking generators make Avalon the safest, most concealed base available to the Guild. This is where all discoveries are presented and shared. In addition to a meterology lab, the base is divided into the respective fields that the other six bases represent, providing members with adequate tools and facilities to finalize and combine their findings here.

The combination and application of these discoveries are one of the central roles of this base. Once approved, these discoveries are sent to assigned members who disperse them to the local populace. Avalon houses the central command bridge which is responsible for monitoring all activity on the planet, assigning tasks and dealing with any threats as needed. This is also where the arbiter’s council meets to discuss important issues concerning the guild and its members. This includes the initiation and assignment of members. Avalon is the first and last place a member sees when they join the guild. Specialized virtual reality rooms are used to test those who wish to advance and certify themselves in skills and positions.

Avalon also serves an especially important role as a dimensional gateway and communications port. Avalon is responsible for communicating between Guild establishments in other dimensions. In addition, members with clearance are allowed to use this gate to travel to these other dimensions in which the Guild has managed to establish itself. Avalon is capable of deploying its outer rings to make dimensional jumps or sub-dimensional transfers when needed."

More information and pics to come soon as I build up the site. Stay tuned!

So very interesting. I really love the idea of Avalon! I've noticed that most of your work deals with a very similar design of that on the tallest building of the base. Great work!

Indeed, I tend to use a particular technological style for each my characters. Avalon is supposed to reflect that of Dack and his droid (that thing floating around the gray fox with a labcoat XD). I will be painting up other bases soon and the style will vary along with the characters that are involved with them =]

Thanks for the comment!

Wow... Avalon looks so peaceful I would love being in a place like that. I really like how u made this place look so futuristic. :D When I full view this pic I feel like Im actually there. O.O Is Avalon a kingdom or more of a mystic place that floats above the world?

It's neither. Avalon is just a code name for Base 7. The place is more like a high tech central headquarters/laboratory for the storyline I have going. If you would like to know more, just read the description I put there.

If you're wondering about the real 'Avalon' in the legends, you can go here: [link]
Supposedly it was a legendary island in the British isles; cloaked in mist and floating on it's own. It can only be found by certain special people. King Arthur is said to be buried there according to Arthurian legend.

Anyway, Thanks for the comment! =]
