Point your telescopes to the skies!
3 years ago
So, mentioned just the idea in my last journal, but I have been working like crazy, although not drawing much, to build my little universe! I am a massive astronomy person, always have been, and I am going a little bit more in depth than I really need to just because I can! They'll be relevant through any artwork I do though, I assure you. But i'm literally talking about the orbital distance they are from thier respective sun, orbital period and day length in Earth time, the Keplerian ratio, atmospheric pressure, surface gravity and mass scaled compared to Earth, and the average surface temperature. So yeah, a lot of fun research has been had over the last few months and i'm having a lot of fun designing these. With that, I have 11 planets across 3 different star systems...so far. I think this number is fine, all the planets are going to be very different, and I have a vision for most of them! Everything is still on paper though, so i'll probably be uploading some concept art at some point just to share something, so keep an eye on scraps over the next few months. (Although, i'll probably upload everything planet related to scraps because it's not furry.) Thinking about taking it a step further too and going full on galaxy with star clusters, comets, asteroid belts, and just the works! We'll see on the rest of that, but definitely been a fun little side project for myself, but I will say that a lot of ideas I had that I explained in my first journal have definitely shifted.
Anyways, yeah, that's what i've been up to! Like when I wrote my last journal in March, I notice I get more and more followers every time I get a commission or otherwise upload, so I almost feel obligated to maybe write these every now and again. Keep in mind though that when I said "keep an eye out over the next few months"...I really do mean months. As I said before, art is not my primary thing, so although i'll try to upload some stuff soon, I don't think i'll have all of the full concepts out until probably end of winter, and even longer for the official stuff. Though i'm having fun with it, so we'll see what happens. Definitely really excited to actually draw them out in program! Designing planets like this is something i've been doing since I was little, but to have something in-depth and solidified that I can get detailed and build on is like a small dream come true for me, as silly as it is. I have a lot of fun lore stuff going on in the background too to go along with these planets and star systems, and along with that, I might be coming up with a couple of my own custom species and various creatures!...maybe even fauna, but I don't know quite yet.
Some teasers: 3 star systems with 3 different color suns, red, blue and green! And although I know green stars don't exist, heck it, it's a blue giant that is a more greenish hue. I have a planet that is on fire, one that's all wasteland and badlands, another that is about 85% water that is constantly bombarded with tsunamis in coordination with the orbit of their moons, and a cold volcano planet absolutely rich with minerals. Then there's of couple gas giants, a typical ice planet, and one that is 92% rainforest with only a single large lake and an elaborate ecosystem of rivers. A lot of inspiration for these that I will detail when I show them off!
