Space Exploration part 1

Space Exploration is a sequence of paintings that, when put together, tell a consecutive story. However, even on their own, they stand strong as singular pieces.

Rough Sketch

Since I was gonna be telling a sequential story throughout the Space Exploration paintings, I wanted the framing for all three of the images to be similar yet different. For the first frame, I decided to go with a static camera shot to capture a bit of everything.

Tight Sketch

Since this piece takes place at night, I decided to make everyone silhouettes to keep it slightly ominous and mysterious. The planet was designed to be sharp as a sign of them being unwelcome.

Final Piece

The number of people in the piece stayed the same, but I ended up giving them all unique designs to give each of them a bit of personality. I also ended up putting a second moon in the piece to help signify that they’re on a different planet.
