Trick or Treat

No breeze in the branches, no creaks, no distant groans,
just quiet cracking in answer to hobnail boots on infant bones.

Happy Halloween :-)

The result of a 1hr speed paint. I think I need to do more of these.

Morning Star and I of the Storm

So here's a couple of more planet illustrations following on from last years Mars picture. Although never intentional the opposing temperaments of the images worked out quite well with Venus being so calm and serene and Jupiter being a far more aggressive piece.

I wanted to convey Jupiter's vast scale in comparison to our other local worlds so rather than featuring the planet as a whole I opted to treat the infamous 'red eye' as the focus of the picture, and just to put it in perspective, you could fit earth into that cyclone. Twice. Deal with it.
