On this day, my birthday, 9 years ago, I received the Destiny 1 collection.

A relatively messy study/fanart for project hail mary, the last month has really awakened my inner space loving child again

Gather up all of the crew!

It's time to ship out Bink's brew!

As usual, I used fountain pen inks for overall coloring, alcohol-based markers for extra shading and some bleach and gouache to add highlights.

Here are some color tests done on a separate sheet of paper that I glued in later. I didn't use all these colors featured here, nor all colors I used are shown here (for example, I didn't add the main black I used for this one because I knew I'm gonna use it anyway, so no need for swatching) - it was more like trying to find the main tone of the painting. Will it be more blue or more violet, colder or warmer shade - I wasn't sure then and had to play around with inks to find out.

Aaaand my favorite trick saved for the last! I used fluorescent ink and gouache to highlight Felwinter's LEDs, so when we turn on the UV light...

(tbh it's not that much of a difference, but at the same time it kind of looks like as if was meant to be viewed this way... Maybe because it's closer to what you would've seen if you really were standing there)
