A PRINCESS OF MARS (1978)
Acrylic on Illustration Board - 24” x 28”

I have a special fondness for The Martian Tales by Edgar Rice Burroughs, ever since I first read them in my early teens. 1/5
John Carter stands over the body of a green Martian with a rapier plunged into its chest. In his arms, he carries Dejah Thoris who lays a hand across her chest covering one breast. She wears no clothes but accents of gold jewelry and chains cover her arm and waist. An angry mob of green Martians gathers behind the raised dais as John Carter looks for an escape. The wall behind them is open in an onion style arch revealing brilliant blue sky and a large craggy moon. The surrounding pillars are marbleized metallic green swirling against smooth sand-colored stone. An elegant laser pistol lies on the floor in the immediate foreground.

Another part of my TAS project I need to return to. I put a fair amount of thought into this ship and it would be nice to document the design and lore around it as a small PDF.

Toying with the idea of doing my cargo ship blueprints Fact Files style.

I didn't really think I would like it as I had my heart set on the Franz Joseph style, but now I think I might go for a kind of scrapbook aesthetic. Like a fan has collected all of the different blueprints over the decades.

PERILOUS PLANET (2022)
Acrylic - 7 ½” x 6”

Palette Gremlins are often a matter of perspective. 1/3
Two astronauts in spacesuits and helmets navigate the snowy slope of an alien planet back by an enormous wall of rock riddled with shadowy holes. In the upper right, the rock gives way to a blue sky with a ringed planet looming with a handful of rock chunks in orbit. Long pale purple tentacles tease out from the rock.

I did a new version of the short video, Eagles over 2001 Moonscape.

* Fixed some minor technical issues.
* Better render quality.
* Brightened stars a little
* Lowest Eagle now passes behind foreground rock.
* Music added "Cloudless" by Cousin Silas.

Hi, folks

Just finished a revamp of my space-art website. It's an on-line gallery of my most recent space- and astronomy-related illustrations and animations:

www.space-art.co.uk/index.php

Please do give it a gander. And if you would be so kind, repost this for me. :-)

Time for a #spaceart showcase? Yeah, I thought so. I created these with various software, mostly #Blender, #photoshop and #3dsmax

#SciArt
This illustration shows the gas giant Saturn with some of its many satellites in front. In the foreground is Rhea, the second largest moon of this planet, after Titan. With a mean diameter of 1528 km (764 miles), Rhea is about half the size of our own Moon. Its surface is heavily cratered, with two very large impact basins and numerous fractures. Its density suggests it is made up of about one-quarter rock and three-quarters water ice. Four other Saturnian moons can be seen in the distance, close to the ring plane. From left to right they are Dione, Mimas, Enceladus and Tethys. An artist's impression of Charon as it might appear from the surface of Pluto. In this depiction, Charon's phase is new - i.e. the Sun is directly behind it. Therefore Charon is only visible by the faint sunlight that Pluto reflects onto it from the Sun. Because Pluto and Charon are tidally locked, they keep the same face towards each other at all times, as the Moon does to the Earth. So if one stood on Charon (or Pluto) the other world would stay fixed in the sky - never setting or rising, but still cycling through its phases. And if one were on the wrong hemisphere of Pluto (or Charon) one would never see the other world. The New Horizons probe recently revealed that Pluto has clouds in its atmosphere, as this illustration depicts. Artwork of the Jovian moon Io, seen against the backdrop of Jupiter's Great Red Spot. The latter is a vast, cyclonic storm - wider than the entire Earth - that has raged for centuries. Io, a highly volcanic world, is the innermost Galilean moon of Jupiter. Illustration of a coronal mass ejection emanating from the Sun. These events, CMEs for short, are powerful releases of solar charged particles (plasma) and magnetic field, travelling on the solar wind. When a CME hits Earth, it can cause a geomagnetic storm which disrupts the planet’s magnetosphere, our radio transmissions and electrical power lines. They can damage artificial satellites and cause long-lasting power outages. Humans in orbit are also very vulnerable to these events, whose high-energy particles are not shield by typical spacecraft.

Hey folks. Here's one of the animations I did showing an O'Neill Colony - basically a hollowed out cylinder in space. This one is 35km long and 9km across and spins once per minute (if I remember) to provide 1g gravity.

Please repost! Spread the love!

Made in #blender. #sciart #scifi

Minmay is one of only a handful of goache watercolor paintings I've ever done.
