I recently decided to embark on a series of drawings/paintings that has a focus on the stars and the sky, inspired by a particularly intense round of Elite Dangerous and one of my favourite members of my community.
Since I started learning to draw, my guiding light that keeps me moving forward are the works of CosmicUnicorn. She left the fandom back around 2016, but her art remains visible and continues to enthrall and amaze me every time I look at it. You can find an archive of her works on DeviantArt if you search her name!
This is one of my first forays into background art, at least the digital kind, and i'm pleased with the result. I'll be using the Stargazer project to practice my landscapes and night skys a lot more going forward, so keep an eye out!
I've had some serious art block up until very recently. I've been doing a lot of Elite: Dangerous streaming of late, and exploring has led me to the rim of the galaxy, quite literally. There's no stars in the sky that far into the rim, and when I saw that vast nothingness, I felt a little existential dread. A viewer had a different mindset, and instead felt at peace looking at the empty void. That hit me.
So I was inspired to start a new art project, thus smashing the art block asunder! I'm calling it 'The Stargazer Project', and I'm going to use it as an excuse to do a study on a night sky. First though, we need someone to look up at the stars in wonder- and who better than myself?
Got a long ways to go on this project, but I hope ya'll enjoy this first step. Feels good to be arting again!
