A merchant ship falls behind the formation during a crossing of the wind wastes on Calphis. This isn't an ideal situation. The barrens offer no sanctuary for a forced landing. The nearest settlements could be thousands of kilometers away.

Haaviq Aqui Laboratory floats in the seas of Icthara, a conservation orbital over Saturn. The ship is believed to be nearly as old as the orbital itself.

A study on drawing a hot Jupiter's nightside.
The dayside is overexposed. The nightside is pinkish from the combination of blackbody radiation and absorption from Na/K/H2O, similar to brown dwarfs.

The Great Sanctum of the Maris Cathedral of Haumea sphere. The diocese of Haumea uses a lot of flower iconography, which mirrors the blossom themes of the Tichordia Concord.

What? You don’t obsessively draw things about your post-interstellar, industrial age, surface locked, faux Terran culture?

I held off on this for a few weeks because I assumed I hadn't done much art in 2025. Turns out I was wrong.

Artists still use Twitter?
Heads up to artists still using Twitter- Twitter is now adding an "Edit image" button under all images posted on the site that allows everyone to feed it into genAI and modify it as they wish with a prompt

Damn I love scifi balloons
Solar or radioisotope-heated Montgolfiere balloons for exploring Mars and Titan:

These could circle a planet, descend to drop a payload or rise to take wide-area photographs from an altitude, for prolonged periods.
