MichaelWhelan , 1 month ago to random Interior illustrations from NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC PICTURE ATLAS OF OUR UNIVERSE by Roy A. Gallant. This particular section was a whimsical "what if" look at possible alien life in the solar system. EUROPA MARTIAN DAWN PLUTONIAN ZISTLES 1/3 #sciencefiction #scifi #scifiart #sff #illustration #nationalgeographic #ouruniverse MARTIAN DAWN - Long-legged, a Martian Waterseeker walks across the iron-tinged soil. It has a thin winding neck like a flamingo but its skin is black. Long arms dangle down nearly touching the ground. From its head, two wide shells project like radar dishes. When closed, they form a protective egg around the whole of Waterseeker. A tail sweeps up and over its head, wide plumage that perhaps serves to block the sun. PLUTONIAN ZISTLES - Clumps of blue crystal rocket off and crash down on pale regolith set against a black starscape.

MichaelWhelan OP , 1 month ago JOVIAN ATTACK FISHES ON TITAN VENUSIANS 2/3 FISHIES ON TITAN - With fur bristling, a Stovebelly perches on a rock with maw open breathing a cone of flame. The rock around it is crowded with little lobster red creatures with dolphin-like faces. Another dog-like Stovebelly blasts up from the water below scattering the fishies of Titan. The underside of that Stovebelly looks like a rocket thruster. VENUSIANS - A plump Oucher-Poucher sits on a rock surrounded by the wreckage of a downed space probe. In one hand, it grasps scrapped paneling while drawing a metal rod to its wide mouth. The background and creatures are volcanic orange. Bulbous, it has a scaled belly, big eyes and legs that fold under like a frog. In the background another Outcher-Poucher blasts off with a stream of propulsion coming from its underside. It hugs itself tight in cannonball position.
