| Nova Mars |
A glimpse at a possible future. This Mars is in the beginning stages of terraforming. It's warmer than modern Mars. Wetter. There's even the beginnings of a thicker, oxygen rich atmosphere. But it's still bitterly cold and bone dry. Most of the new water is locked up in the giant ice sheets that now dominate the surface, unusable until such a time as the temperature is warm enough for liquid water.
Even now, this decreasingly, but still highly, hostile world supports a fledgling civilization; brave pioneers willing to risk everything to bring a dead world back to life.
This started life as a test of a method for creating realistic ice that someone [Ittiz] on deviantArt taught me, but it looked so nice that I was compelled to polish it up as a finished picture.
