This is an experiment, so to speak. I came across some excellent artwork while surfing the web, and each one inspired a dozen setting ideas. So I'm just curious, what do you see? Don't describe the pic obviously, tell me what it inspires, if anything.

I always thought that Rorschach Tests needed more vivid pictures!
Visit the alien hive planet! Bring your brood along as you see our strange, massive honeycombed cities! Stare in awe as the sun sets on our glass and steel floral landing towers for our wasp taxis!
I got a visual of MST3K while reading that...
"...no, that's what i'm trying to get at, we can't survey this planet with rovers, the terrain is too rugged!"
"Too rugged for rovers? Not possible."
"Just look at the surface! The canyons are too wide and too frequent! There's barely a smooth incline anywhere... we'd run out of booster fuel long before the first hundred square kilometers! It's like we'd need some kind of... giant... mechanical spider to cover this place!"
"..."
"...what?"
"Did you ever see a movie called Wild Wild West?"
1) It's a post apocalyptic setting. The giant egg is actually a starship designed by a secret enclave of scientists that they plan on using to escape the dead world. The guy on the walker is from the outside world and plans on bringing his people to join the scientists' endeavour.
2) It's an alien world that has been colonized by humans. Each of those mountain things are self contained cities with the "flowers" on top being some kind of power generator. The woman is waving her son goodbye who is going off to find his place in the not completely explored world.
3) On an unexplored world there is a giant spider like robot of unknown design that wanders the landscape. Nothing can explain it, for it never stops, not for a city not for an attack. Two people wandering the wilderness come upon it stopped and with its door open. They decide to see what lies inside.
4) An old factory lies dormant. Off in the distance are other factories like it. They could be abandoned, or home to something new.
Those are my takes.
