I spent about a day total for the piece, but I took lots of breaks and ended up with a sort of speed painting with a little more effort behind it.

In this piece there is a ship arriving to the waste management and energy stop. Scientists are gathering samples to make sure the waste resources are being properly recycled in order to make energy for the entire city.
