The Stargazer,  by Lee Bradford on Redbubble

Thank you to everyone that’s been patiently watching me work through this on Patreon.  When I sketched this out some months ago, I had no idea how many things would happen in my life while making it- moving to a new house, my grandmother being put in the hospital, the headquarters of my workplace being hit with a massive tornado, and a whole ass convention in the middle of it.

Some months ago, I had a dream about a woman in a space suit and the space suit was full of stargazer lilies. The image stuck with me and I played around with the idea of it until I was ready to make it. It started this sort of narrative about a space druid, escaping from a crowded planet.

The lilies were a considerable challenge for this one- the petals are a generally flat object that bends and that kind of form can be difficult to portray in a 2D piece. But it came down to just working at it and working at it until the space made sense- even when the computer shuts down without warning.
