Well known but worth it

Have some rep Cdr
I read the book that image was in when I was about 7, it got me hooked into space and sci-fi from early on. Where did you find the image?Have some rep Cdr
Honestly? I don't remember.
But google image search says it's from an artist called Angus McKie.
And it was also used (or copied?) for a movie DVD cover. The movie is called Def-con 4.

Reminds me of Coruscant...
Trantor (Foundation serie by Asimov, 1966) served as an inspiration for Coruscant (Starwars 1977).
"There have been some serious attempts to illustrate a planet like Trantor in the Star Wars films by George Lucas, the first being Coruscant (which was in some early sources called "Jhantor", in homage to Trantor)." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trantor

Amazing japanese artist called zenseeava. Some of those are from anime of the always amazing leiji matsumoto. A legend. Been a fan since watching Albator/Captain Harlock as a kid.
