Archilen's Capital

I did find the subject intriguing but I was worried that visually representing it was probably beyond my ability - a spiral of disks is one hard thing to draw by hand. Nevertheless, I decided to take a stab at it at the last moment and it ended up more than a little rough, but I suppose it'll have to do.

I almost regret putting all the detail to the disks - I was originally going to leave them gray and featureless to convey the scale of the structure - all detail would be too small to notice from this far away. I ended up (very roughly) detailing them because I wanted to convey some of my ideas on how to fill those disks - I imagine a structure of this size would, in addition to the obvious urban sprawl, have massive "park" sections with Halo-like artificial terrain (that's what the messy patches are supposed to be - in hindsight they probably should've been more orderly and patterned).

The huge ship (I like to think of it as the ship that took Bornstellar to the Capital) is supposed to be in the foreground if that isn't obvious.

There's no "closed" version, but I suppose you can just imagine the same thing morphed into a ball.
