Okay crap, description writing block strikes again, I don't really know what to start typing on the text box XDDD
But the good thing is, phew, posted quite a number of pics this month, working on some more even, which is good! And this one, well, despite being posted at this specific date, is actually a quickest one to do given the similarity of their poses and was actually done a couple of days ago (I just feel like drawing them XD) as I tested Postybirb's Post Scheduling feature and wrote this description. Should I continue this practice to make posting less of a headache? We'll see and let me know if it's a good idea :D
Anyways, yeah, I said "their" poses here since what we have here is another art gift for a birthday of my friend Astronaut-Violet's on DA featuring a group of her most recent OCs, which is a crew of her imagination of future Artemis 4 crew landing of the moon! From left to right there are an American married astronaut couple Andrea Zimmerman and the mission's commander Elijah; previously featured in this pic, and then some fresh ones in my gallery; the British Jasper Gastrell, the German Lars Angerhofer, and the Indonesian Fatmawati Hidayat. All of them are staring at what could be their next destination, the planet Mars, just so happen to pass the Moon in a rare occasion! Now you might be thinking, "wait that can't happen, it's just too far." Well, I'll have to say it does happen. Last time it was on 2020, and it happened when Mars, the Moon and Earth are reaching an area in their orbit where they would be adjacent to each other. You can find out the news about it right here. It is less likely it'll happen again in the year this pic takes place, but hey, everyone's free to imagine :D
And I mentioned about this on the pic where only Elijah and Andrea are featured, but you probably noticed straight up that they are all clad in the Apollo's A7L spacesuit instead of what will officially be used in the Artemis program, the xEMU concept. Well this is the suit that they wear on the pic made by Violet herself I used as the reference for this pic, which you can check right here, but again, in reality, as of this submission Artemis 2 has even yet to launch, and we has yet to see who will be the crew members of Artemis 4. And, well, It's Violet's universe after all, I'm actually looking forward to see what else she have in store with these characters :D
As for the pic process itself, well, as I mentioned, this was done rather quickly since I just used the poses from my previous drawings, especially Elijah's pose where it was taken from the only pic he previously featured in, but a bit of of work still present here, like some minor adjustment to the shading and suit details I took time to made, and this time the faces while also taken from previous pics but were adjusted to match the reference pic, with some mix-and-match to do as well, like my decision to give Jasper the eyes from a younger male characters I've done, instead of the sharper ones Elijah and Lars have, which kind of makes him the cutest among all the guys here with his amazed expression XD. Also, I decided to have the visor-down version with seen-through faces the main version here to strengthen the theme of this pic, but the ones with opaque visors and with their faces fully visible also available as a patrons-exclusive you can check right here (make sure you are a Parfait-tier patron!).
But yeah, a rather quick pic to do here ^^; Love how it came up especially with how cute Jasper looks like here, and I hope Astronaut-Violet and as well as you guys, liked it :D
