A raw sketch, far from finished, captures the nascent stages of an alien, futuristic city nestled within a colossal, transparent bubble. The style evokes the distinct aesthetic of 1970s science fiction films, blending retro-futurism with otherworldly design. The entire image is constructed from sketched lines, emphasizing the preliminary nature of the work. The city within the bubble is hinted at rather than fully realized, with suggestive lines forming the basis of towering structures and intricate networks. The transparent dome itself is conveyed through the delicate suggestion of its curvature and the interplay of the city's lines against it. Beyond the protective enclosure, a vast canvas of space unfolds, populated by distant galaxies and enigmatic planets. These celestial bodies are also rendered in the same sketchy style, their shapes and positions contributing to the overall sense of cosmic scale and the isolation of the city within its bubble. The entire scene feels like a fleeting glimpse into a grander vision, emphasizing the raw energy and creative potential of the initial sketching process. ppstorybook
