| Named after hellhound of ancient Helinik myth, this brown dwarf star
marks the end of civilization and the beginning of the Dead Space, a
region of the galaxy characterized by eldritch energies and terrifying
anomalies. Bathed in the star's ruddy glare, the Interceptor Alkeidis orbits Tartaros, Kerberos' middle planet, preparing to brave the Dead Space's unnatural depths and investigate the disappearance of the research ship Arkimedes. _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ _ _ |
Long time, no post.
Because artist's block sucks. But I beat that down with a sledgehammer, the above is the result.
I had a few goals with this one. The first was to experiment with a new style of presentation, specifically a title and border. I think it works with this picture, at least.
I also wanted to try conveying a specific, deliberate emotional tone with this picture. YMMV on my success with this one.
It was also an excuse to run a couple of tests on myself, specifically on how well I could do a star (because stars have always been one of my weak points) and how well I could convey the vast, mind-numbing scale of the universe. I like the result, but YYMV.
The fluff in the description is inspired by a recent obsession with Greek mythology, and not really connected with any of my other pictures.
