oh my lort i didn't know you were on tumblr!! hi!!

Halooo! :-}

Hi hello hi… I really love your space probe designs, I was wondering if it would be okay if I drew a few!!!! They fascinate me so much they’re so well done and just AAAAHHHHH!!

Thank you so much, Spencer!!! Fan art is always welcome!!! I would be so incomprehensibly honoured 😭

Voyager Golden Record, a 4* Foreigner-class Servant!

Golden Record was a disk sent out to space aboard Voyagers 1 and 2, with the purpose of telling extraterrestrial life about Earth and human life if it were to ever come in contact with them. In its trek in interstellar space, it was found by the Blackness of the Stars, an Outer God made out of cosmic matter. 

An Outer God who had never made any attempts to communicate, and a disk made with the exact purpose to communicate with otherwordly beings- a unison that ended up as a Heroic Spirit.

one whole year huh

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Last year, the JWST was launched and the images it had taken so far are amazing! Animated my JWST inspired oc to celebrate!

Merry Christmas yall, and happy launch day to the James Webb Space Telescope!

He forgot lol

My Mega Man OC, James Webb! He's inspired by the JWST

Someone's excited about Christmas (And their birthday)

1, 2, 3

1: What is your favorite color to work with?

Grey! I absolutely love greyscale stuff and enjoy making works with limited colours (quite literally in this case) in chase of that sweet, sweet feeling of ease you get from freeing yourself from the hell that is colour choice in order to focus on value and form directly. A lot of my stuff’s usually just a couple of saturated hues against a sea of white and/or black. Can’t mess up a colour when there is no colour!

But that’s a bit of a boring answer…

I also love blue! Specifically, imperial blue—that sea colour. You could probably tell by how much I draw space agency coveralls, haha.

11, 14

11: Warm or cool colors?

Cool colours ALL THE WAY! 🧊

In fact, I don’t think I recall ever having used reds and oranges in an atmospheric way. Even my “warm” colours—against all odds—always end up looking cool thanks to how much I love drowning things out with grey.

for the artist ask 2, 3 and 14 :]

2: Who is your favourite character to draw?

I’m tempted to say “my JWST personification” but the champion for the title is surprisingly split between multiple characters!

I like doodling Webb because they’re easy to draw and have that certified funky fresh look but I also draw Sputnik and Explorer a lot and have tonnes of unposted traditional doodles that mainly focus on a select few OCs. I suppose it’s just hard to choose since my brain enjoys bouncing all over the place.

(Previously mentioned select few OCs in question)

3: What song(s) do you listen to when you do art?

Hah! All of them!

Whenever I listen to tunes I’m always either walking or drawing, the overlap is huge. I go limp and get dragged wherever the algorithm takes me—just look at my disaster of a YT music wrap.

14: What was something that you used to draw a lot that you don’t draw as much anymore?

We don’t talk about my Australian bird gijinka era… 🕴

poems about Laika (the soviet space dog)

i’ve been hunting for one in specific, and during my quest, i have seen that very many beautiful poems about this creature have been written. I wanted to compile them.

“first dog in space” by brennig davies / “They say that, from space, the Earth looks like a small, blue ball. I’ll throw it for you, Laika, if you’ll chase it, dart through the stratosphere like a comet, undeserving of its fate.”

“laika” by claire williamson / “for three hours she was weightless, pulse racing, but ate her dinner, alive to see an orbital sunrise.”

“laika” by adnana zeljkovic / “Paddling with her soft paws in inimical vacuum, (nothing to draw you to your bosom like Mother Earth’s gravitation) herself soft snowflake,”

“laika” by paul gerard reed / “The stars that shone have all gone out as man betrayed your trust, but your spirit is still in place somewhere, out there in space.”

“laika” by dave lewis / “But when you gave me that final kiss on the nose I suppose deep down inside I knew my destiny lay among the stars. Alone, in silence, I watched the world spinning round, one thousand miles below.“

“i remember laika” by jan oskar hansen / “The farewell can’t be delayed a boy has run to the outer field sits on a stone tries not to cry the struggle to accept the unavoidable.”

“muttnik” by tumblr user @fateology / “I don’t mind. I just miss you. I miss you like the space that lies between two breaths. Full to burning.”

“for the first dog in space” by lavinia greenlaw / “Laika, do not let yourself be fooled by the absolute stillness that comes only with not knowing how fast you are going. As you fall in orbit around the earth, remember your language. Listen to star dust. Trust your fear.”

“laika” by sarah doyle / “Brave little cosmonaut, caught and collared, Earth no more than a distant ball with which you cannot play.”

“laika” by adrian sobol / “If there is light, it’s pressing down on you. Something stirs inside it.”

“first the dog” by zbigniew herbert / “awkwardly we bump into stars / we see nothing we hear nothing / we beat with our fists on the dark ether / on all the wavelengths is a whining”

you are welcome to add more poems to this post if you have any in mind to recommend.

The real thing may have only been the size of a beach ball, but making Sputnik the same height as Yuri Gagarin was too good of an idea to pass up.

The Spitzer Space Telescope

A mid-to-far-infrared space observatory named after late American physicist Lyman Spitzer Jr., it was the fourth and final Great Observatory. For 16 years, he continually exceeded mission expectations before his well-earned retirement in 2020.

See the Universe in a New Way with the Webb Space Telescope's First Images

Are you ready to see unprecedented, detailed views of the universe from the James Webb Space Telescope, the largest and most powerful space observatory ever made? Scroll down to see the first full-color images and data from Webb. Unfold the universe with us. ✨

Carina Nebula

This landscape of “mountains” and “valleys” speckled with glittering stars, called the Cosmic Cliffs, is the edge of the star-birthing Carina Nebula. Usually, the early phases of star formation are difficult to capture, but Webb can peer through cosmic dust—thanks to its extreme sensitivity, spatial resolution, and imaging capability. Protostellar jets clearly shoot out from some of these young stars in this new image.

Southern Ring Nebula

The Southern Ring Nebula is a planetary nebula: it’s an expanding cloud of gas and dust surrounding a dying star. In this new image, the nebula’s second, dimmer star is brought into full view, as well as the gas and dust it’s throwing out around it. (The brighter star is in its own stage of stellar evolution and will probably eject its own planetary nebula in the future.) These kinds of details will help us better understand how stars evolve and transform their environments. Finally, you might notice points of light in the background. Those aren’t stars—they’re distant galaxies.

Stephan’s Quintet

Stephan’s Quintet, a visual grouping of five galaxies near each other, was discovered in 1877 and is best known for being prominently featured in the holiday classic, “It’s a Wonderful Life.” This new image brings the galaxy group from the silver screen to your screen in an enormous mosaic that is Webb’s largest image to date. The mosaic covers about one-fifth of the Moon’s diameter; it contains over 150 million pixels and is constructed from almost 1,000 separate image files. Never-before-seen details are on display: sparkling clusters of millions of young stars, fresh star births, sweeping tails of gas, dust and stars, and huge shock waves paint a dramatic picture of galactic interactions.

WASP-96 b

WASP-96 b is a giant, mostly gas planet outside our solar system, discovered in 2014. Webb’s Near-Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph (NIRISS) measured light from the WASP-96 system as the planet moved across the star. The light curve confirmed previous observations, but the transmission spectrum revealed new properties of the planet: an unambiguous signature of water, indications of haze, and evidence of clouds in the atmosphere. This discovery marks a giant leap forward in the quest to find potentially habitable planets beyond Earth.

Webb's First Deep Field

This image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, known as Webb’s First Deep Field, looks 4.6 billion years into the past. Looking at infrared wavelengths beyond Hubble’s deepest fields, Webb’s sharp near-infrared view reveals thousands of galaxies—including the faintest objects ever observed in the infrared—in the most detailed view of the early universe to date. We can now see tiny, faint structures we’ve never seen before, like star clusters and diffuse features and soon, we’ll begin to learn more about the galaxies’ masses, ages, histories, and compositions.

These images and data are just the beginning of what the observatory will find. It will study every phase in the history of our Universe, ranging from the first luminous glows after the Big Bang, to the formation of solar systems capable of supporting life on planets like Earth, to the evolution of our own Solar System.

Layers of Helios ⊙

The popular, red renderings of the sun we're most familiar with are often taken in the UV spectrum, showing light emitted from helium atoms in the chromosphere, whereas looking at it in visible light shows a completely blank, white orb (much like Venus… except your eyeballs get simmered off)

Wanted to draw something inspired by this fun little musing. :)

This ain’t the first time this guy appeared on my account, here’s some more of them!
