Space art is an amazingly awesome and unfortunately underappreciated field of art. (Like my alliteration? :) ) It is drawings of, well, space, that are purely fiction, but are based on science and what is actually possible. They inspire many about the wonders of the universe and get the imagination running on what could be out there...
I found a great site where you can look at tons of awesome space art: spacewallpapers.net
Just look under the space art section.
I made an attempt at drawing my own space art today, and it turned out pretty good. Not awesome, but better than I had expected. The drawing is from just outside the atmosphere of a moon of a large blue gas giant orbiting a red dwarf star. It shows the clouds and mountaintops of the moon, and another moon and a blue-white companion star in the background.

Uh-huh...:)I see how its underappreciated. I have yet to see someone with a painting of space in their living room....It's really pretty though!
ReplyDeleteYeah, space art is beautiful yet not so popular. I love the butterfly nebula picture you have up on your blog! :) I'll check out the website later... Right now I'm reviewing for Civics. xD
