I was looking at these and thinking "Where are you supposed to stand in these crazy places?".

Then I saw the lone spaceman on top of the orb in the last pic. He does not look comfortable.

Beautiful landscapes, by the way!

Wow, those are great. He's going straight into my pantheon of sf illustrators, with Bonestell, Emsh, Kelly Freas, Hannes Bok, Richard Powers, and the rest. Thanks for the post!

There's a lot of orbs in alien landscapes, I've noticed.

Somehow it just lodged in my head and fit. With the floating head and all.
