Ancient alien astronaut with damaged space craft - WIP stages

3 stages of the creation of the artwork.

Painted during May 2021 this digital illustration, created using 'Auto sketchbook pro', depicts a sci-fi scene. A long dead alien astronaut is drifting with his damaged ship in to a field of space inhabited with large, long tentacled monsters.

The panel above shows three stages of the creation leading to the completed illustration. In the first panel the original sketch can be seen in a reasonably cleaned up version. Moving to the second panel the drawing has had rough colour areas and details added to indicate tone and hues. At this stage the image is a small size document, with 1200px on the longest edge, and has been done on an android tablet. The next stage is to export the file to a desktop PC, enlarge the image up so that the longest side is now 6000px. This becomes the start of the final artwork where the imagery is reworked/ painted and refined so that it can be printed up to many sizes without loss of quality. The last panel shows the finished illustration, and can be seen in greater detail on this link.

Completed digital sci fi space wreck illustration.

This scifi illustration shows a scene featuring a damaged space ship floating with its long dead alien pilot nearby, attached with a tether. It is now a skeleton after the tentacled, flesh sucking creatures living in the area, have removed it.

The image was created digitally using 'Auto Sketchbook pro' during early May 2021, with final touches carried out in Photoshop, and can be seen in detail on this exterior link.

stages of digital painting of spaceman with space station illustration

Completed in January 2018, this digital painting shows a space scene, very much portrayed with a retro, 1970s flavour. Depicted in the scene is an astronaut looking on as a small scout ship approaches him. The small ship has presumable come from the much larger space station in the background, orbiting a hazy, green planet.
The digital illustration was drawn in 'Auto Sketchbook Pro' , running on an android tablet. At a certain stage the file was then exported to a W10 computer running the same software. then, at a late stage the artwork is opened up in photoshop for final detail and colour grading.
The final image can be seen here in detail.

There is a retro sci fi feeling to this illustration painted during January 2018, featuring a scene dominated by an astronaut in space, looking at an approaching scout vehicle. This craft has come from the much larger space station seen in the distance, and which is orbiting a hazy, green alien planet. There is evident visual influence from such productions as 2001 and space 1999 in this digital painting, made in 'Auto Sketchbook Pro' initially, with Photoshop used to finish off the illustration.
