a vast futuristic city on an alien desert planet, viewed from a mountain plateau at night, glowing neon hovercraft and spaceships flying above, a colossal energy beam shooting from the city center into space, the entire city surrounded by a towering high-tech wall, the terrain is dusty and barren like a desert, not Earth, a surreal sephora-toned atmosphere (purple, mauve, pink), cinematic lighting, a raging solar storm overhead with arcs of space lightning illuminating the sky, dramatic clouds swirling in alien patterns, ambient haze, stars breaking through the storm, sci-fi megastructures, alien architecture, ultra-detailed, concept art style, by Raphael Lacoste and Syd Mead
