Community Event / Creation LeKo's Concept Art Paintings

[LeKo]

Hi guys,

This will be the one thread where I will put all my paintings instead of different threads for the different themes. I will start with my first painting and I will post my new painting the at the bottom.

All high res files can be downloaded from my DeviantArt page: http://leko82.deviantart.com/

My first two ideas on planetary landing:

Requested: "a planet with monstrous mammoth trees covering the entire planet. So large that even modern settlements and landing pads are build into them" and primeval creatures for hunting also requested by a friend of mine.

Requested: Floating cities, archipelago, monstrous sea life.

Requested: "landing on a large asteroid" I've changed the idea to landing on a mining vehicle on a large asteroid. Just to make it a bit more interesting painting.

Request: "large carved out opening on the surface, and a tunnel leading to the center of the moon" (turned out a bit different than requested...)

I came up with another theme: Landed and exploring outside your ship. It was commented that it might be introduced at some point.

This one is a wide angle shot from within the floating city from the 4th landing painting, the waterworld. Home again.

Landed, but not as planned.

And a new one!
Requested: "landing / enters to the underwater city"
Security check before entering 'subway' to underwater city. ((btw: should I change the alliance logo on the subway to something else?)

I got some more requests so I'll be busy doing some more painting. When finished I'll post them here.

New thread looking good mate, again love the paintings, and new one Security check is excellent! ......and err, request Bar painting when you have time

Gorgeous.

A few ideas in no particular order: crew passing time on a long supercruise, drunk targeting computer/turret, old friends unite and derelict station.

Have you ever thought about a flying (cloud) city?
It would be logical on some gas giant, somewhere in atmosphere.
I'm not sure how would it exactly "fly", but let's imagine there's little gravity and they invented some kind of anti-gravitational engines by then (something like inverted magnets that don't need power/consumption to work).

Also, it may be domed, or not.

Just a quick speed painting I did a while ago already. today I picked up my painting and wanted to start finishing this, but thought this gets the idea and still has the speed painting feel to it.
Hope you like the idea.

Love the new 'security check' painting, and the speed-painting 'cloud city' rocks too!

How about a Cmdr's cabin painting? Gotta have a large window with an amazing view, and some kind of news/systems data holo-screen thingamajig... at least, in my head.

Keep 'em coming!

It's been a long time but I did a ED related painting again. hope you like it.
Was already shown on reddit forum but I thought it would be nice to post it here also.

greetings cmdr's

I really love these, some great concepts.

I know why the ED galaxy has to be PG rather than hand-crafted, and I know there are inevitable consequences from that. But it makes me sad that we're unlikely to see much in the game that matches concepts like these. It's one reason I'd really love to see an option later in the game's lifetime for player-created content. It'd allow for more diverse and interesting locations in-game, and breath a little life into the galaxy.

These are some cool stuff. Nice work here!
