Had a quick look around the paradise moon of Jasmodus Gamma and I might stay a while and paint the curly, very berry grassland, all shades of fuchsia and blackberry and violet — just my style.
There’s cerulean tallgrass cascading down hillsides, and two different plants of what I like to think of as the “corn type,” and the shimmering gold of Jasmodus Gamma filling the sky.
Scan warns of deadly pressure variations but so far it’s paradise.
I’ll take a long walk and let you know.
Finally finished painting the drawing I posted last week of Jasmodus Gamma, so go ahead and drift away to the mushroom forest, the pastel beach, and the cotton candy sky.
Over in No Man’s Sky, I’ve left the vermillion globe and touched down on its moon. It’s a hilly purple paradise; curly plum colored grassland studded with blue, and gold above. Can’t wait to show you.
See you there.
I snuck away to No Man’s Sky on Sunday, landing on a string of uninspiring planets until I finally parked my ship on a mushroomy little island on Jasmodus Gamma, a “Vermillion Globe.”
Like my favorite nail polish; pale turquoise and pink flash. I though yeah, I’d paint that, and took a look around.
Next week: The mushroom forests of Jasmodus Gamma, now in Technicolor.
I landed here before I logged off last time and expected that I’d move on before painting, but there were some pretty, grassy valleys and flowering meadows, so I hitched a ride on a big turtle dog and roamed around until I found a nice view.
I especially love the mullein-type plants on this planet. I see different variations on that form popping up here and there and I think they’re so striking. I always select a mullein or five and let them stand in my own wild front garden, and they get a lot of attention. Much of it is even positive.
I’ve got quite a bit more of this system to explore. I haven’t scanned any of the planets, so I’m not sure what’s out there, yet. Hopefully something tropical. I’m partial to something tropical.
I’m playing catch-up today, so here’s one from two years ago, from my No Man’s Sky travel journal. I picked a system with six planets and did one painting from each of them over the course of a week; this was number six.
I remember I put this planet off for last because it was the one I was least excited to paint. The others had lush hills and active volcanoes and . . . well, I won’t spoil it.
The sketchbook has not been as good for “helping me loosen up” as I had hoped.
I’m not quoting anyone specific but I’m sure someone has said it.
The snow is drifting down again outside, but it’s bright out, the cloud cover is absolute, but thin, so that the sun is visible like a pale yellow lamp in a white haze. It felt warmer today as soon as I woke up. Isn’t it funny how you can feel the colder days, even though the thermostat is just the same?
I’m in sweats and slouchy, knobbly socks again. I’m going to have to shovel at some point but let’s not worry about that right now.
It hasn’t even stopped snowing yet.
