The Forgotten Rising City

On a warm sunny day, a young traveller with her companion suddenly comes across an old forgotten city in a distant land that might've once harbored a great empire. They stop to admire the scenery; the tall buildings still reach all the way to the sky, despite showing time has left its mark on them. I tried to give a feeling of warmth, yet loneliness and abandonment at the same time. I want to try doing more laid-back paintings like this that aren't necessarily fully "finished". Environments are my new thing lately, though I admit I'm inexperienced in that field.
P.S. If you love space and exploration, I highly recommend trying Starbound out! :p

Partially took my inspiration for the buildings from one of my favorite games - Starbound. I took this screenshot on a planet around a fiery star (the hottest ones in the game) and it's quite barren, as you can see. People probably lived there long ago.
