And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then~

The first of the new 10-illustration Space Fox series!

The world is near, but it's out of reach / Some people touch it, but they can't hold on~ 🎶

Space Fox 2 is finished!

-edited to make the lighting on Space Fox have a bit more contrast.

Time and distance are out of place here~ 🎶

#art #SpaceFox

And I think my spaceship knows which way to go~ 🎶

#art #SpaceFox

Oh to ride the wind / To tread the air above the din / Oh to laugh aloud / Dancing as we fought the crowds~ 🎶

#art #SpaceFox

Can you imagine what it's like seeing life / From the other side? / Do you imagine darkened light, starless night? / You might need a guide~ 🎶

#art #SpaceFox

Each and every heart it seems / Is bounded by a world of dreams / Each and every rising sun / Is greeted by a lonely one 🎶

Space Fox 7.2! Replacing the other pic with the twin planets.

Same lyrics:
Each and every heart it seems / Is bounded by a world of dreams / Each and every rising sun / Is greeted by a lonely one 🎶

@ziphi Gorgeous. I have no other words. 

@ziphi oh the final version looks great!!!

Did you ever decide what sort of creatures would inhabit this space station?
-F

@Hearth I never did decide, no. They could just be other foxes. But also I was thinking pine martens or space otters.
@ziphi That is stunning Ren

@ziphi The detail in this is absolutely stunning!

I love the view of the gas giants showing off their colors proper compared to the original!

@ziphi love how this turned out!

@ziphi Whoah… This looks lovely!

I hadn't considered that if you're flying slowly enough in space, you can pass by closer. And the lack of atmosphere makes for a clear view.

@digitalfox Just gotta match velocity with the ship or station you are intercepting.

The mechanics for intercepting other orbiting bodies in space were actually the doctoral thesis of Buzz Aldrin, of Apollo 11 fame. And it was quite important for that mission, to be able to return home safely.

Also anything docking with the ISS had to be very deliberate about its approach.

I wanted to capture a moment like that.
