Steampunk Girl With Spaceship - digital painting

This digital illustration was done over a period of February/ March 2018. It features a 'steam punk' inspired scene of a small, shuttle space craft that has made a forced landing on an alien planet. Its female pilot is out looking for help and deciding on her location while the sun sets. In the shadows some creatures are lurking in the shadows.

'Auto Sketchbook Pro' was used to create the artwork, initially running on an android tablet to rough out the basic idea and colours envisaged. As it is done on 'layers', the work is then exported to a Windows 10 computer running the same software but with more power, so that one of the first things to do is to scale up the document for better quality and continue painting. At a certain stage the artwork is then finished off in Photoshop, where final details and colour grading is carried out.

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.

Planet Castle On Arch - digital painting

 

 This digital Sci-Fi illustration was painted in Photoshop from a basic sketch done in 'Auto Sketchbook' running on an android device. The scene features an alien planet landscape with strange rock like formations that rise-out of the ground like half of an arch formation. Some of them are very large. On one of them a castle has been built on one of them which has now fallen in to disrepair. In the foreground is a local resident on a cart which is being pulled along by some strong, horned beast. On the back of the cart is a cargo of red, egg like objects. The sun is setting on this peaceful landscape and the driver takes no notice of the castle that's been there seemingly for ever and quietly rots. The image was created in July 2016.
