Temple city

It was once the spiritual center of a planet, a city made up entirely of ancient temples dedicated to tens of thousands of alien deities. But worship is a big business. With pilgrimage money flowing from all corners of the galaxy, what was once a sacred sanctuary is now a corporate citadel. A world-building concept art.

Every now and then, we hear about funny architectural fails where lack of taste meets poor aesthetics and greets atrocious execution. Check out our previous features with such examples here, here, and here.

My real specialty is world design and city building (games, film) - I've MS in architecture, practiced, too. I use people (staff figures) to create a visual narrative and I love the way the light sculpts form, is all. Why am I commissioned to do characters most of the time - instead of what I do best, namely designing and building (in 2D or 3D) cities, cultures and worlds in historical or synthetic styles - is beyond me. And I've no idea how to change that. :( Any ideas?
