After the fairly successful Horsehead Nebula I dived into a bit of planetary art this time the clouds of Jupiter were the subject. This took a fair bit of time this piece as the colours and patterns had to be shaped and merged and all of that good stuff. I’m quite pleased with this one though as I’ve learned from it – it doesn’t have to be exactly like the reference picture – I’m merely creating an intrerpretation.

Let me know what you think, thumbs up or down
There’s only one with this piece… don’t think I’ve short changed you here!

Science in Sci-Fi – Time Travel
Science fiction is as the name suggests the fiction of science. I thought it would be a fun, interesting and at times mind bending idea too look at the science behind some of the technology in science fiction and look under the hood to see what’s required to make it work or what barriers areContinue reading “Science in Sci-Fi – Time Travel”

Time, Space and the Universe as we know it – Part 2 Relative Motion
With all it’s vastness and complexity it’s taken a long time for humans to reach the understanding that we have of the universe that we have. This is the story of evolving understanding and how simplicity gives way to incredible truth’s that seems to sit at odds with how we think life should be… andContinue reading “Time, Space and the Universe as we know it – Part 2 Relative Motion”

I love it! Close-up images of Jupiter always remind me of milk and coffee swirling together, and I think you’ve captured that perfectly!

That’s what I think, it’s like a big cream and coffee mix up!

I love it! Is it digital or pastel–I wasn’t sure of the medium you’re using.

It’s digital, the colour mixing gives it the pastel effect.

love it and like the idea that it is “creating an interpretation” … after all space = scifi to me ๐

Will that’s the thing, but I often see art as copying something whereas it can be creating an interpretation.. hence so much variation in people which is cool

yes interpretation appeals more to me than imitation ๐

Into the lockdown, out of the lockdown. I lost the overview on all the lockdowns and reliefs of the countries around us… lol! However, I am glad you can focus on a wider horizon now. Simon.

Great artwork! I don’t think NASA gets much better views? Well…maybe a little. Did you use a photo as a reference? This planet’s clouds and rings are fascinating in that they don’t all fly in the same direction and some seem to just spin in place like a perpetual tornado. Whatever or whoever created this monster had a weird sense of style, art or was just plain snockered when it happened.
