Sketching Scarlett

I've been working a bit on my sketching, especially with portraits as they're quite interesting, my latest work was of a portrait of Scarlett Johansson.

Space Art – The Clouds of Jupiter

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 …

Space Art – The Horsehead Nebula

Space Art – Saturn and the Distant Sun

So I looked about a bit and I found myself a book on creating Sci-Fi concepts! Mechanika from Doug Chiang is packed …

Image Overlays – Saturn at Sunset

I've been having a play, merging my pictures with images from others to overlay them and create something kinda cool. What do we think about seeing Saturn at sunset over the horizon. I made a few pictures of this, which one is best do you think? Saturn from Cassini (Credit NASA / JPL) overlayed onto …

Comic Relief – Alien Contact

For Kate's Comic Relief Isolation Fun I thought I would see what I could do - as a first attempt I came up with this: Enjoy! I hope you're all well.
