I’m a bit of a space nut so loved doing these :smiley:

Off to play some KSP :rocket: :satellite_orbital:

I’m a big space nut, but these were much harder for me.
I pretty much had in my head that I was going to make a rocket, despite whatever topic it was. But I felt it weird that this was a topic for color. Astronaughts wear white. Stars are often white. The moon is white. Space is black. Shuttles are generally white, with black parts.

Anyway, a couple of these came out complete gibberish. For those few, I had no idea what I was doing or going for or what really came out in the end. (I call this one “pixels on canvas”.) It was like a five year old trying to paint for the first time.

Speaking of which, not all of the experiments turned out badly. Here’s some masterpieces to show off to mom and dad:


“My other car”


“The final frontier”

This was tough. Also, getting out of black and white mode was a bit difficult, though I got some for the sky.

It was really challenging to come up with anything to properly portray this, but I think mine turned out ok in the end.

Here’s my spaceman and his ship. I struggled a bit with the astronaut and getting the stars to look right but I’m pretty happy overall, especially with the last picture :slight_smile:

I think I am trying to add to much detail for an 8x8 but here it is!

The astronaut was the easiest one. Despite being second in terms of the “chronology” of this “story,” the rocket was next to last in terms of creation order.
