Hi, folks

Just finished a revamp of my space-art website. It's an on-line gallery of my most recent space- and astronomy-related illustrations and animations:

www.space-art.co.uk/index.php

Please do give it a gander. And if you would be so kind, repost this for me. :-)

Time for a #spaceart showcase? Yeah, I thought so. I created these with various software, mostly #Blender, #photoshop and #3dsmax

#SciArt
This illustration shows the gas giant Saturn with some of its many satellites in front. In the foreground is Rhea, the second largest moon of this planet, after Titan. With a mean diameter of 1528 km (764 miles), Rhea is about half the size of our own Moon. Its surface is heavily cratered, with two very large impact basins and numerous fractures. Its density suggests it is made up of about one-quarter rock and three-quarters water ice. Four other Saturnian moons can be seen in the distance, close to the ring plane. From left to right they are Dione, Mimas, Enceladus and Tethys. An artist's impression of Charon as it might appear from the surface of Pluto. In this depiction, Charon's phase is new - i.e. the Sun is directly behind it. Therefore Charon is only visible by the faint sunlight that Pluto reflects onto it from the Sun. Because Pluto and Charon are tidally locked, they keep the same face towards each other at all times, as the Moon does to the Earth. So if one stood on Charon (or Pluto) the other world would stay fixed in the sky - never setting or rising, but still cycling through its phases. And if one were on the wrong hemisphere of Pluto (or Charon) one would never see the other world. The New Horizons probe recently revealed that Pluto has clouds in its atmosphere, as this illustration depicts. Artwork of the Jovian moon Io, seen against the backdrop of Jupiter's Great Red Spot. The latter is a vast, cyclonic storm - wider than the entire Earth - that has raged for centuries. Io, a highly volcanic world, is the innermost Galilean moon of Jupiter. Illustration of a coronal mass ejection emanating from the Sun. These events, CMEs for short, are powerful releases of solar charged particles (plasma) and magnetic field, travelling on the solar wind. When a CME hits Earth, it can cause a geomagnetic storm which disrupts the planet’s magnetosphere, our radio transmissions and electrical power lines. They can damage artificial satellites and cause long-lasting power outages. Humans in orbit are also very vulnerable to these events, whose high-energy particles are not shield by typical spacecraft.

Hey folks. Here's one of the animations I did showing an O'Neill Colony - basically a hollowed out cylinder in space. This one is 35km long and 9km across and spins once per minute (if I remember) to provide 1g gravity.

Please repost! Spread the love!

Made in #blender. #sciart #scifi

Minmay is one of only a handful of goache watercolor paintings I've ever done.

Rick was done in Macromedia Painter and Photoshop.

Sadly, Nothing left of the Production Model Shop where Enterprise was built. On the plus side, if you want a room for a night, tho many reviews were bad.

No idea where the Galactica's fighter cover is ! Cylon Raider model by Anson Call, Galactica by @gmd3d.bsky.social. #Lightwave3D fought me all the way on this one, so not particularly happy with it. Will have to return to it at a later date. Onwards and Upwards 😃

Random find on an external harddrive. Renders I made in 2010 that kinda sparked the idea for that animation.

I promised elsewhere I'd try an image with a small subject instead of filling the frame with moy model.

This is the result!

How it began and how it ended, variations of a theme. I'm very pleased with how these turned out. Pretty much all #Lightwave3d with a little colur tweaking in Photoshop. #ScifiArt
