Superb!
Getting stuck into the rebuild of the 2001 Orion, checking the old model.
The geometry is a GREAT fit to my references. So far I upscaled the texture maps, and killed a few bad polygons.
It clearly needs lots of bump maps replaced by geometry and normal maps though...

My old painting of a brown dwarf.
This view represents a moon of a brown dwarf being lit up by the sun-like star, which is second component of this star-brown dwarf system.

Today’s prompt in @spacetober_challenge is Star. I thought I’d share a digital composition that I ve created and use as part of my Sciart & science art workshop resources. Science outreach is one of my passions - the sharing of science knowledge through fun and creativity. #Spacetober #Sciart

The "Discovery" from 2001 at one point had tension cables along the spine, and large cooling vanes, (required for the nuclear engines).

Spacetober Challenge - the Prompt today is Mars/Mars Mission. This is my digitally drawn portrait of Perseverance Rover, which is currently exploring the Jezero Crater where it landed in February 2021 & is searching for signs of ancient microbial life.

This is some detail from the Elephant Trunk Nebula, a highly compressed globule of intersetllar dust and gases that is shaped by the winds from a massive triple star system HD 206267A. This is a region of star formation, with some stars beleived to be under 100,000 years old. (6hrs SHO, Oct 15) 🔭
