What do you people think of this version? I increased the height of each dome. Are they to tall now?

The domes might be.  I like the detail of the towers you've added up the sides, but don't forget to add individual shading to them, to give a sense of depth.

Is the perspective fairly even for each of the domes?

In any case, I added some satellite dishes and have begun working on those small structures attached to the back (front?) of the the observatory things.

Added some windows to the small structure and blue lines on the largest structure in preparation to add their faction logo to the side  :).

For some reason, this base reminds me of something from Zakharov's potrait...

So I have added pretty much every major detail for the bases from the landscape illustration. Do you people like it, dislike it, or are indifferent? Do you have any suggestions on how I could improve it?

The side towers need individual shading.  The dish on top doesn't look like anything.  Fix those, and you've got something, once you color it differently than the others you've made.

After numerous tries, I have decided to put off the coloring until the very last step in my base creation process. Also, it is a lot harder than it looks to get the colors right...

i know, i think you working in the right way
