The visual aid for my final project in my astronomy class here at SCAD. Longworth's prompt for the final is that we can do anything we want so long as it somehow involves astronomy and our own artwork.I LOVE looking at photos of galaxies. They're beautiful, and I remember years ago the first time I saw the hubble deep field shot of all the HUNDREDS of them together made me feel so very insignificant. it was so humbling. So naturally one of my favorite moments in Okami (which has a lot of astronomy type things in it) is the scene where you have to start the whirlpool galaxy spinning. The colors are so vivid.
So I painted this in acrylics on a 16x20 canvas trying to mimic the quick, loose brushed style of the game. The galaxy has touches of glow in the dark paint at its nucleus and the stars and arms and some of the ripples in the whirlpool also glow teal.
