in reply to This spaceship does not exist • • •A detailed, illustrative image depicts a person standing in front of a large, heavily armored vehicle. The vehicle, which dominates much of the frame, is a dull, metallic brown color and appears to be resting on a flat, textured surface. The person is facing away from the viewer, wearing a long red coat and dark boots, with a hood covering most of their head. The ground is covered in a complex network of metal grates and panels, creating a labyrinthine effect. The entire image is rendered in a highly detailed, comic-book style with heavy shading and intricate line work, giving it a somewhat gritty and industrial aesthetic.
