The Shuttle Operators
 
Shuttle to Station Aguador

Air
The Idea:
The quest of the Mechanoids continues. This time it's the butterflies. Decided to create a shuttle based on them. One which comes in handy shuttling small group of 15-20 people from one Aerial City Post to another. More on the butterfly shuttles in the invention section.

Fire
Inspiration:
Rodney Matthews one of the greatest Fantasy and Sci-Fi illustrator, Star Wars- Empire strikes back: the Aerial City.
A Rodney Matthew creation.

Water
The Story:
The Gas miners are stationed in Gas exploration rigs high above the cloud levels. But the structure of the mining station's such that heavy flight vehicles can't take off or land on it. Thus the Butterfly Shuttles, which ferry passengers from one Gas mining station to another.

Earth
Execution:
Created completely in Bryce. Mostly through Boolean modeling with certain amount of Terrain based modeling in thrown in. Composited (for the clouds) and colour corrected in Photoshop.
   
  Beam me up Scotty!
