The first lot of illustrations are now up on Astronomical Art. In the Extrasolar Art gallery we have samples from two series  of illustrations currently in production. Brown Dwarf & Family plus Into the Fiery Night are from a series of illustrations exploring a hypothetical brown dwarf and it’s moons. The series will consist of three final pieces.

The other series featured under Extrasolar Art features a fantasy group of terrestrial moons orbiting a gas giant.  A barren moon, an ocean moon, a tropical moon and a desert moon each show their view from the surface of their siblings and parent planet.

There is also one lone image from no perticular series. Planet with Rocky Ring was a sketch study to try out some techniques for creating a dense rocky ring system.

In the Solar System Art gallery we have the first few illustrations from my Saturn Series. So far we have Mimas, Enceladus and Titan featured but I’m working on two to three more further illustions for this series featuring Iapetus, Tethys and probably Saturn’s ring system.
