Comic / Storyboard - Futuristic Ring Megacity Concept Art

An immense futuristic megacity built inside a colossal {argument name="structure type" default="circular ring megastructure"} embedded in a {argument name="landscape" default="rocky alien landscape"}. The ring dominates the skyline, thousands of meters tall, covered in intricate industrial panels, docking bays, glowing maintenance lights, and weathered metallic textures. Massive capital spacecraft, carriers, and smaller shuttles drift through storm-filled skies around the structure.

In the foreground, a {argument name="foreground subject" default="lone astronaut"} in a detailed hard-surface EVA suit stands on a rain-soaked industrial platform overlooking the city, creating a strong sense of scale.
