The discovery of a strange alien artefact on another world. Inspired by vintage sci-fi magazines and books, cosmonaut suits and, as is so often the case, 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Drawn using my Escorpión palette, which I'll be putting on Lospec soon (well, in a month or so).
The preview font is based on Westminster.
