Art: Alien ship Observatory sketch (Patreon)
Content
(Spoiler Alert! Doctors story)Hey everyone!So a while back I sketched this room for the Plorks ship. It's an observatory, and as you can see Plork has been keeing an eye on Keen ship :)
Now the telescope really tells a story here, and so I wanted to give it a prominent place in the room. But just hanging from the ceiling didn't feel quite right. And placing it on the ground just felt a bit too...'human'? And so for a while I tried to figure out what to do here.
So I made a few rough sketches and eventually found the solution by adding the circular walkway to the image. I suppose it workes because every walkway/staircase automatically makes the thing at the end of it important... right? :) So that's where I added the telescope. And on top of that, the walkway also gave some more direction to the composition and left me with a nice spot to add some alien- computers :)
Now these alien-computers tell another part of the story, and if you click on them Keen will end up here.
You might remember that I made a red version of this image before, just as a first test for the alien architecture. But I decided I could reuse it for the story, and so here it is again :) As you can see, this is also where the Doctors computers ended up...and Keen will soon figure out why. But... that's all I'll say about the observatory! Next time I will show you another room of this ship, and reveal a bit more of the Doctors story again. I hope you like it so far :) Have a great weekend & all the best!-Robin
