Red Mars - Revolution of 2061

Trying something a little different this time, using Midjourney image generations and arranging them into a sequential order to tell a larger story.

This sequence covers part of the Revolution of 2061, as a loose alliance of Reds, Greens, Anarchists, Leftists, and Libertarians come into conflict against the Transnats and their proxies in UNOMA over the future of Mars, and to some extent Earth itself. After some early successes, the would-be revolutionaries are now facing a counter-revolution as reenforcements arrive from Earth via orbit.

Most of the following images are nearly raw outputs, whereas some have been heavily reworked in Photoshop.

End of sequence, the rest of the images were just results I liked that didn't fit as well in the sequence.
