Design 100 Space Explorers
-
@Chip-Valecek I totally agree. The colors have been bothering me too. I definitely need to rework them. Both the red and green are totally off. As for the space squirrels I think they need more work than i've spent on them... sometimes this happens to me in the "ugly phase" this is just a bit worse than usual. Thank you for the feedback! Glad to know someone else sees these problems too.

@girlgregg Keep at it, i want to see as you progress with it.

How neat! These are really cool. But i notice that you have been keeping it safe by using the same style space suit. Maybe check out some vintage illustrations of space girls or look at some cosplays of futuristic characters, try to spice things up. Put some of them in short sleeves, have rings going around their waists, give them giant boots/whatever. Be adventurous, there's a hundred of them so you've got plenty of time to make some weird designs and learn something from it

@Perrij Yeah, I'm looking forward to exploring more space suit designs as I go. I've been looking at a lot of space art from the 1960s for reference.This was actually an unplanned space explorer. I already have #13 and #14 ready to go and they are more interesting. I was doing this for the holiday, but I'm learning my lesson that I need to plan these out better. Hopefully the next one will be more inspired

Another update... better. Slowly getting there, but still a long way to go

OK. I'm calling it. Finished but NOT Perfect! I need to give myself a break and move on! This piece is far too busy, but I will return to it with fresher eyes when I am further along with the project.
So here it is! The "Finished" Space Explorer #12:

@Jake-Parker Thank you x1000! The Design 100 challenge has really helped me move past art block/anxiety to really focus on what and how I want to improve! Glad you like them!!

Great idea!! I want to do this now!

@Ben-Migliore You should! ... granted I've gotten carried away... but here is the original video by Jake Parker on the challenge: https://youtu.be/Xxa01j9Ns7o

Update Space Explorer #13:
Worked on the background and composition. Going for a 60s vibe for her interior decor. Still need more work on the background but getting closer!
