Sketch

So I'm taking a break from exclusively drawing with my tablet, and got back to doing some drawing on paper. Here's a recent drawing of a character I'm working on for the Mars concept. I think her shoes are too big. Eh.

Martian Colonial Neighborhood

The last thing that I wanted to do when I imagined the modern colonies on Mars was to make them dark, confined, and dingy places where people scrapped by to maintain their livelyhoods on a cold, dry planet. This story will take place in a transitional phase of the planet's terraformation. A phase where one can go outside without a space suit, and in areas inside the colonial zones, breathe the air outside thanks to localized photosynthesizers and modified plants, suited to the Martian climate. I want life in the colonies to be similar to that of frontier life in North America, but with a futuristic spin. Life for the 3rd generation colonists is challenging, but not a constant struggle for survival.

BG Study

Another little background study. Trying to nail down a technique and style.
