I started this picture in May 2018, the shade of the blue in the background has changed since then, but the idea of Voyager has remained the same.
The Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 twin spacecraft were built for a five-year lifetime. Voyager 2 was launched on 20 August 1977, 16 days before Voyager 1, and both are now well beyond their original destinations.
Their primary missions were to explore Jupiter and Saturn.

For the black, I used my favourite, musou black.
The planet was painted based on the photos of the eighth close encounter from the Juno spacecraft.

Inspired by the 2022 Summer planetary alignment. The interesting thing about this event is that the planets visible to the naked eye were seen in order of their distance from the Sun, from east to west.

I’ve been planning a blue giant or two for a long time, and I combined them with structure paste. The whole image is fictitious, and based on the knowledge I’ve had so far. I’ve done it with brush and airbrush.
