This other thread got me thinking about ruins that look fundamentally "alien" to us:

Can anyone point me in the direction of a website (or websites) that have inspiring artwork of what alien/extraterrestrial ruins of long-dead civilizations* could look like (or at least look cool to you)?

Thanks!

Basically, I'm looking for more websites with cool concept art like this:

Not looking for stuff necessarily "Martian" in look. Would prefer different styles to draw from.

Thanks.

Try heavymetal.com and look in their galleries.

I've always liked Karl Kofoed's Galactic Geographic series…
Used to be featured in Heavy Metal…

Unfortunately that site only shows an itty-bitty sample of his work… which has featured lots of alien ruins.
Tempting me to get his new book of collected GG stuff.

It isn't exactly art, but I thought some of these scenes were pretty alien:

Even though he didn't include any ruins in his terrain pieces, they are so good and mystical-looking that I can almost see the ruins . . .
