Astrum Ultimum @astrum-ultimum - Tumblr Blog

Thanks to some motivation from someone, I'm showing my, uh... okay-ish art??

Whatever, it's okay to have bad art from time to time.

First week of the Moon Joy June event: Launch.

I don't know how I feel about this drawing. It's mixed...

I'm usually better at pastels, plus the rocket could've been done a lil better TT

Also, I recommend going on full just to have a slightly better quality of the image because then you'll see some of the details and the colours that have been layered.

wait hold on is this a picture of a paper drawing or was it done digitally but made so that it looks like a paper drawing?

Moon Joy June: Lunar Inspo

Moon Joy June artists! This is the second week of Moon Joy June, and the prompt is “Moon.” If you’re an artist looking for some inspiration, we have a treat for you: four new and previously unseen images from our Artemis II mission!

All four of these images were captured on April 6, 2026, during flight day 6 of the mission, when the four astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft conducted the lunar flyby of their ten-day journey. During the lunar flyby, NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen captured photographs and collected scientific observations of the Moon in meticulous detail.

You can find more images from the lunar flyby here. If you’re feeling inspired to make some art dedicated to our celestial neighbor, you can share your creations on Tumblr with the #ArtemisArtShow hashtag!
