Purpleish! Something I have wanted to make for a while. Nothing super original here. The idea is sunlight scattering through a planet's atmosphere. Not exactly sure what kind of atmosphere would make purple. But hey artistic freedom and all that.

This painting is for your enjoyment and desktop only! The original super high resolution wallpaper is available for purchase. Shoot me a message if you're interested. If you'd like to use it for anything other than a wallpaper, please ask. As always, let me know what you think! I appreciate any and all comments, questions, and critiques!

A city of starlight.

Wow! I actually finished something!

I've always really enjoyed the Hubble images of globular clusters. I find them mesmerizing. They remind me of large metropolitan areas, viewed from space. When I started this, almost 10 months ago, I thought it was going to be pretty straight forward. Boy was I wrong! I restarted this at least 3 times. I really struggled to get the picture-like look. Ultimately, I am super happy with how this one turned out! The original super high resolution and some cropped wallpapers are available for purchase. Shoot me a message if you're interested. Message me if you'd like to use it for anything else!

As always, I appreciate any and all comments, questions, and critiques!

Just some practice, playing around in Autodesk Sketchbook. Trying to get back into the swing of things. No textures or stocks used. About 5 hours.

This was actually practice from last week, but I didn't get a chance to upload it. So weekly practice 11/19. Nothing amazing, just a simple gesture practice; trying to practice drawing more human / organic forms. Still not very fast at these, three minutes.

Weekly practice 10/15. First attempt at a closeup of a star. No stocks or textures, completely painted in Photoshop. About 4 hours. I'm actually really proud of how this first attempt turned out.

Weekly practice 10/3/.

Some minimalism practice. About 2 hours. Focused mostly on the lighting and the star.

This is a re-imagining of one of my most popular pieces. I am really happy with how this one turned out. It's not perfect, but I found some new techniques that I am excited to use more of in the future.

This is piece inspired by a planet from the game Kerbal Space Program. I thought it would be cool to imagine what it would look like in reality. It took me a lot longer to figure out the gas planet than I thought it would. But I really like how it turned out and definitely want to make more gas planets in the future.

In 1989 Voyager 2 became the first and only spacecraft, to date, to fly by Neptune. This is what I imagine it would look like as it passes Neptune and its largest moon Triton. 

I made this back in 2015 as a gift for my girlfriend, and as a salute to the men and women who worked on the historic Voyager missions.
