#SIGNALIS
An illustration for the 3rd year anniversary of Signalis. I wanted to make a piece about Ariane's thoughts, reflections and dreams. Backgrounds on each box is a painting of The Isle of The Dead while right next to it is The Shores of Oblivion. Text on the image comes from the notes in game that i hold very dearly to my heart. Thanks for looking!

Flag of Microselenesia, a pan-cislunar intergovernmental organization formed in the mid-22nd century to govern affairs between the growing cohort of permanent free-space habitats orbiting the Earth and Moon.
A flag with a black background and a highly stylized 3/4 cutaway of a cylindrical space habitat. In the center is a white structure with a green interior, representing lighting systems and microgee parkland. To the right is the inner wall of the cylinder, showing green parkland and the glinting blue band of a circumferential river. Surrounding the cylinder is a white outline, symbolizing the glacis of shielding material - be it sandbags, glass, concrete, or steel - that every permanent space hab shelters from cosmic radiation under.

A study on drawing a hot Jupiter's nightside.

The dayside is overexposed. The nightside is pinkish from the combination of blackbody radiation and absorption from Na/K/H2O, similar to brown dwarfs.

#art #astronomy #space #planet #exoplanet #HotJupiter
This image depicts a hot Jupiter's crescent, being illuminated by a host star located off-screen to the bottom left. The dayside, being overexposed, is pure white, and the atmosphere shows up as a white glow surrounding the dayside. The nightside is dull pinkish, with cooler clouds showing up as darker regions. The two large hemispherical storms appear on the image as well.

Evening on a snowy unsuccessfully terraformed Mars
Digital illustration depicting a girl with red hair and yellow eyes dressed in an orange winter coat and black gloves. She's wearing a transparent mask hooked up to an oxygen supply on her back. The scenery depicts a bleak snowy landscape, dotted with orange rocks and a few signs of footprints. In the background a snowy hill can be seen, and a large rocky cliff. The very top of the cliff is a stark orange as it barely catches the last light from the setting sun. Some distant lights resting against the cliffside can be spotted. The sky is a mix of oranges, yellows, and blues while a few faint clouds reflect the orange sunlight.

i never draw references so im quite happy with how they came out :]
a reference image of EULR-L1302, also known as Strudel. shes 175cm and 5'9". the character is an eule replika from signalis and has an eyepatch, duct tape on her belly and shoulders, and a harness. a reference image of STCR-L1301, also known as Controller. shes 240cm and 7'10.5". the character is a storch replika from signalis and has a heavily injured left hand and forearm, with muscle and bone exposed.

I'm looking through what I think is the oldest text document about DELTARUNE that I can find. This is one of the first facts about Susie. Even though this has never happened in the game, everyone just intuitively understands this as true. I won.

Excerpt from Green Mars, Kim Stanley Robinson, 1993.
At its northern end this incredible cliff finally became less tall, and less steep, and just above 20° North it was cut by a deep broad channel, which ran east through Lunae plateau, down onto the Chryse basin. This big canyon was Kasei Vallis, one of the clearest manifestations of ancient flooding anywhere on Mars. A single glance at a satellite photo and it was obvious that a very large flood had run down Echus Chasma once upon a time, until it reached a break in its great eastern wall, perhaps a graben. The water had turned right down this valley and smashed through it with fantastic force, eroding the entrance until it was a smooth curve, slopping over the outside bank of the turn and ripping at joints in the rock until they were a complex gridwork of narrow canyons. A central ridge in the main valley had been shaped into a long lemniscate or tear-shaped island, the shape as hydrodynamic as a fishback. The inner bank of the fossil watercourse was incised by two canyons that had been mostly untouched by water, ordinary fossae that showed what the main channel had probably looked like before the flood. Two late meteor strikes on the highest part of the inner bank had completed the shaping of the terrain, leaving fresh steep craters.

did I ever post The Boys Go To Shopper’s Drug Mart
Three panel comic of two anthropomorphic characters (an eagle and a coyote) in the deodorant aisle of a drug store. In the first panel, the eagle picks one off the shelf and says “Oo, what about Paradiso Sunrise?” the coyote asks “What the fuck is a paradiso sunrise?” In the second panel, the eagle is holding out the stick of deodorant for the coyote to sniff. He says “I dunno but you could smell like one.” Unimpressed, in the third panel the coyote says “Eh, pass.” The eagle interrupts with “if you even touch an Axe I’m going to hit you by the way.”

The recent news of #JWST imaging of 14 Herculis c prompted me to draw my own depiction of the planet. A superjovian planet with water clouds kept warm by internal heat, it has thin haze due to low radiation, making it white-blue due to methane.

#astronomy #space #art #exoplanet #14Herculis
The image shows a white giant planet with blue-coloured bands. The planet is very slightly tinted orangish by both the thin haze, as well as the parent star's light, but is still overall blueish-white.

assortment of brown dwarfs at various stages of cooling (explanation in the alt text)

#art #b3d
Top left: A very hot (~2000 K) brown dwarf, glowing bright orange/yellow from blackbody radiation. Its atmosphere is full of all sorts of metals and hydrides and so on. Top middle: Below ~1100 K methane is permitted to form in a brown dwarf's atmosphere. Methane appears blue, combined with the dull glow from blackbody radiation this makes the dwarf appear that familiar magenta. Top right: <800 K, now that it is no longer glowing the brown dwarf turns blue from methane absorption - assuming there's no haze. Middle left: From 700 K - 250 K it's possible a haze of sulphur can develop that turns the dwarf tan or beige. Middle: At 350 K - 170 K clouds of water can form that turn the dwarf white, possibly with a yellow or brown tinge depending on how much haze is present. Middle right: From 180 K - 80 K clouds of ammonia and ammonium hydrosulphide can appear, turning the dwarf orange or creamish. Bottom left: Back to purely methane absorption, which again turns the dwarf blue/cyan. Similar to Uranus and Neptune. Bottom middle: At ~20 K it gets so cold even the methane freezes out, leaving only hydrogen and helium behind. The dwarf appears white due to Rayleigh scattering, which is usually most effective for blue light but in this case light keeps travelling deeper into the object until even the longer wavelengths are reflected back out. Bottom right: ≲14 K the hydrogen itself freezes, turning the brown dwarf into a huge ball of solid hydrogen ice. A highly compressed atmosphere of helium remains. The brown dwarf retains its high surface gravity of hundreds of gees, combined with the cold temperature this causes the atmosphere to have a scale height of only a few meters. Eventually, by ~0.8 K, even the helium will freeze up too. The coldest types shown here likely do not exist in nature yet, but in the far future as things cool down they could come about.

Hadean Terra: Earth when it was young.

Very little rock remained to tell the story of what the Hadean Eon was like; what we know is mostly based on theories and meteorites.

See more information in Alt Text!

#astronomy #space #art #SolarSystem #planet #Earth #gijinka
The Hadean Eon is the first eon in the history of Earth, spanning from around 4.5 to 4.0 billion years ago. This image depicts my current understanding of its evolution during the early stages of the Hadean Eon. Towards the beginning of this eon, a Mars-sized protoplanet known as Theia impacted the proto-Earth, producing Earth and the Moon. This event likely melted the planet and creating a magma ocean. During the magma ocean stage, Earth probably had a thick, Venus-like atmosphere of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen, and clouds of silicate and salt may have formed. The atmosphere is probably thick enough to scatter the majority of sunlight back to space, producing its pale appearance. The magma ocean took a few million years to solidify. Once this stage ended, water may have begun outgassing, and eventually rained down, forming a global ocean of liquid water. The hot ocean stage featured a liquid water ocean under a thick carbon dioxide-nitrogen atmosphere not unlike Venus's, which enabled water to stay as liquid under surface temperature of 500 Kelvin. Higher up in the atmosphere, a layer of water clouds covered the entire planet, not unlike what is today seen on Venus. Interactions with liquid water gradually transformed carbon dioxide into carbonates, removing it from the atmosphere. After between 10 to 100 million years, most carbon dioxide had been removed. With much of the carbon dioxide removed, the planet's surface temperature would have dropped to temperate levels, and glaciation is also possible. The Earth's crust and mantle were likely weak during this time, and such it may be that very little landmasses, if any, existed during this early time. Terra (personification character) noted that due to the planet's geological activities, very little evidence remained from this eon. Much of what we understand about this time comes from theoretical modelings and comparison with other bodies in the Solar System.

When the Lunar Orbiter 4 spacecraft gave us our first good view of the Orientale basin it was revelatory. Not only was this giant multi ringed impact basin first revealed in its general form, other such basins were recognized across the Lunar near side. Oil paints on canvas panel.
This is an oil painting done on a 3 foot wide canvas panel. The view is dominated by the Orientale Basin, a vast sprawling depression with three concentric mountain rings surrounding a dark lava plain covering the lowest central region. The upper portions of this view are visible from Earth, with the higher lighter cratered highlands contrasting with the dark Maria plains filling the lowlands. This oil painting was done about 1970, referring to numerous original prints of this giant impact basin. It took over a month, starting from a perspective drawing that I scaled up to the panel size. The large dark region near the middle is Mare Orientale, the 'Sea of the East', named by German astronomer Julius Franz in 1906 back when Lunar East and West were 'flipped', used in reference to the Terrestrial viewer rather than the Lunar globe. In the mid 20th century Percy Wilkins and Patrick Moore made observations and described this Maria 'lake'. which is at the very edge, or limb', of the Moon as seen from Earth. At the most favorable orientation, or libration, of the Moon the far 'shore' of this large lave lake can barely be seen. In 1962 Arizona's Lunar and Planetary laboratory, under the great planetary scientist Gerard Kuiper, produced a Lunar atlas showing overhead views of the regions of the moon visible from Earth. This was accomplished by taking the best full disk lunar photos and projecting them with a narrow angle lens onto a white hemisphere at the end of a long hall. On the photos showing the Western limb the new view looking 'down' on the feature suddenly revealed the concentric mountain rings for the first time. William Hartmann, planetary scientist and artist, was first to realize the significance of this feature and soon found similar and more degraded or lava buried examples across the Lunar near side. Orientale was recognized, particularly with the aid of the Lunar Orbiter photos, as the youngest and best preserved of the giant Lunar impact basins.
