Red got distracted by the animals so Purple did most of the trading.
Commission for DD! This will be used in a chapter for a story they are writing over at AO3, which you can lookie over here. The art itself will be used on a later chapter. I RARELY do backgrounds and environment work. So I decided to take the chance to see if I even know how. I'm very happy with the outcome of these. But I think its because I have a bias for deserts. I still have a lot to learn but this was a nice experience. This is a real place called Cresent Dunes in Nevada.
Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project
What’s with this unique design, you ask? This Nevada solar farm utilizes concentrated thermal solar power (CSP) instead of panels that transform sunlight directly into electricity. The spiral arrangement of mirrors captures rays from the blazing desert sun and directs them to a center tower that contains molten salt. This salt is then used to heat water and power steam turbines. To get a better understanding of the sheer scale of this project, one must realize that each of those (seemingly) little mirrors is 37 feet wide and 24 feet tall…and there are over 10,000 of them. The tower in the center is 640 feet high. A project of this magnitude provides enough electricity for 75,000 local homes.
