A distant red dwarf watches one of its companions siphon the other away. Also watching: millions of colonists and tourists who set up shop on a nearby planet when water was discovered underground. There also seem to be some ancient towers built by who-knows-what in the middle of a former seafloor; impenetrable, mysterious, and now right next door to space-Vegas.

A planet in the TRAPPIST-1 system, tidally locked to its red dwarf parent. At some point, earthly life is introduced and a Buddhist stupa is built to commemorate an early explorer. It's said the explorer meditated upon the spire, considering the never-setting sun and the ocean that disappeared into steam on the day side, influencing later writings.

Been wanting to make a comet painting for a while, and after a couple of abandoned roughs, I got something I’m happy with. Inspired partially by the ESA’s Rosetta images and earlier Giotto images.

On this icy planet, the cold, partially rusted surface is harsh but protects seas filled with microscopic life. At night, one widespread species glows, and added together they can shine through thinner sections of the ice.

A digital painting study of Earth based on images from NASA’s Blue Marble images and with some influence from Star Wars: Rebels and a hint of Space Battleship Yamato 2199.

Made this image for a contest Steve Ahn did for his kickstarter Blossom Detective Holmes. I didn’t win, but I did get a neat digital sketchbook to look through.

Hi! Happy Tuesday! Today’s tip is on one of my favorite subject, color theory; specifically on chromatic fringe. It is the red fringe or hot saturated color you see at the edge of cast shadow and where it meets the light area. The rougher the object edge casting the shadow or the further away the object is, the more red fringe you’ll see. This is different than chromatic abberation, which is color fringing caused by lens failure. You can see chromatic fringe with your eyes. The more you paint from life and make observation, the easier it is to see. It’s one of those things that once you see it, you cannot unsee. :) XO, Griz

On stylized painting, where you want to have a hard edge on a shadow, you don’t always have to put it. Like everything in art, you can choose to put something in or not. But it’s always good to know your basic and know the rules before breaking it. Happy painting!

Finished my fan art of Risky Boots.

[aerojett]

Fan art WIP of Risky Boots since the Shantae: 1/2 Genie Hero DLC came out recently. Or at least I played it recently, anyways. <.<

[aerojett]

Inspired by some space-in-the-everyday photos by Marcus LaPorte. A small gas planet and its retinue of moons, all part of a trinary star system currently orbiting through the outer regions of a stellar nursery. The nebula picked up the name Frying Pan Shoals after several ships went missing in the molecular clouds, and by extension the system became the Bald Head System. One of the planet’s moons, an icy world named “Damascus” for it’s steel-like surface patterns, is of note to biologists due to geysers and a subsurface ocean similar to Enceladus, offering a useful point of comparison for how different life can be on two worlds of similar makeup.

Finished colors and final touches on my giant armor mech, which I’ve now christened a “riddarmekanism” or “Knight Mechanism”.

[aerojett]

I wanted to apply what I’ve learned about armor to a giant mecha. I still made the legs beefier than an actual leg harness, since I wanted it to look a bit more robust, but yeah.

[aerojett]

Finished my most recent character design! His painter element isn’t really covered here, but the armor is based on late 16th to early 17th century samples, and the character inspired by Swiss Mercenaries late in their prime with a hint of the last tercios of the 17th century.

[aerojett]

About finished with line work on a new character turnaround. There’s a couple spots to clean up, and I want to study the lames around the waist on historic armor a bit more, and I need to add some inserts for details.

[aerojett]

I wanted to paint my impression from memory the eclipse from my vantage point in South Carolina. At first I’d thought the dot near the Sun was Mercury, but looking at a chart later, it turns out to have been the star Regulus, which is about 79 lightyears from Earth.

Felt like doing a crossover fan art of RWBY and Little Witch Academia. I was a bit surprised I could only turn up maybe four similar pieces on Google.
