Disaster!
This is a variation of an illustration done for the UK magazine
Frontiers back in 1999. It
was to illustrate (if I remember correctly) an article about the dangers of Shuttle missions. The
ship was painted on screen, with a mouse, in
Photoshop with no prior scanning. The planet
is a
Bryce sky which I inverted in
Photoshop and added curvature to with the 3D
transform tool.
