Welcome to Arcturis spaceport — you can land any time, amongst the humming radar dishes and hovering patrol ships. But will you be able to take off again? I love the concept art of Australian artist Adam Paquette, for its mixture of gleaming futurism and gritty, gun-blazing danger.

You can see more of Paquette's work at his website. And his blog, with shiny new work, is here.
