Finally have something I can post again! I picked up an antique stereoscope, so I wanted to make a 3D illustration for it. It works without the stereoscope, too, just like a Magic Eye: cross your eyes and focus on the picture in the middle.

It’s the constellation Orion from a different perspective. Plus a naked dude. His name is Orionman.

Ok! One more body in space before I have to work on other things for a bit. This one is about how exposure to space causes swelling of the tissues, leading to bruising.

Thought I’d post the pencils for the new one before I get to inking tonight.

Bodies in Space: Cyanosis

The sketch for the illustration I’m working on atm. I hope everyone likes the butt of a man!

Bodies in Space: Decompression. This one’s about something that doesn’t happen in space: blowing up like in Total Recall.

Bodies in Space: Sunburn. Another one about heat and radiation. Just like the convection picture, she’s not cold. She is, though, getting burned because there’s nothing protecting her from the sun’s rays, and she’ll probably pass out in a few seconds…

#2 in the Bodies in Space series. This one is about cosmic rays. Not much else, aside from that they go through you. He will probably die of cancer in 40 years.

I happen to have a wallpaper-sized version of that last post, so have it! Is 1280x800 good enough? Tell me if you’d like a different size.

This image kicked off a series about what really happens to a body exposed to space. Sci Fi has taken a lot of liberties with this topic, i.e. your face exploding or your blood boiling. This one is called Bodies in Space: Convection, on account of the fact that there is nothing to convect your body heat into in space. The only way to lose heat is through radiation, which is a slow process. So you don’t freeze instantly, like being shot out the airlock in Battlestar Galactica. You’d more likely hang out in your underwear and not feel cold.
