I’m afraid I lost myself

From the archives - a school project i did back in 2012 (final semester of art school) attempting to depict a crew of cosmonauts, secretly stranded on a failing soviet weapons platform (perhaps even as their country dissolves on the planet below). The initial images are the finals, and the rest is all the development!

i love this video so much

Martian origami. The little Sojourner Mars Rover sits on the left petal of the Mars Pathfinder lander, Oct 1996. Sojourner weighed just 23 pounds (10.6kg) & became the 1st rover to operate beyond the moon when it landed in 1997. Pathfinder was the 1st successful lander on Mars by NASA since the 2 Viking missions in 1976. Sojourner was expected to operate between 1-4 weeks yet it served for 3 months, gathering important data on Mars for scientists back home.
