    Default Jezero

    Hey, everybody! Who celebrated the launch of NASA's Mars 2020 rover "Perseverance" yesterday?

    I did - with a map!

    I re-imagined the landing site of the mission, Jezero Crater, as a fantastical pulp sci-fi realm hosting red deserts, isolated forests, and a decaying civilization of lizard-riders and airship-flyers. The names of settlements are drawn from pulp sci-fi having to do with Mars, with a few in-jokes hiding here and there (I put the explanatory list in my brief WIP thread, but I won't include it here in case you want to figure them out on your own).

    I used my Copic Multiliners for the line art - including that statue, which is a new feature for me - and then painted it with watercolor pencils. I also had a good time hiding my signature (and the Mars 2020 logo) in the border.

    I might be able to do a little more retouching, but I don't think I'll get to it - so, in honor of the launch and all my friends, classmates, coworkers, and colleagues who worked on the rover: Go Perseverance!
