	Made some progress here, and I have used up 8 out of total 16 colors. Thoughts?

	Got my sketch done, starting to block in basic shapes. I like how the palette turned out, but I might have to add another shade or two depending on how it turns out. It's also a bit big, so I'll probably scale it down once the shapes are blocked in.

	Update: more details, slight changes in composition. Might be too big, yes :)

	The main problem for me is the craters, they just seem very flat and aren't the quality I'd expect from a Mrmo piece.

	@skamocore, that's probably wip. @Mrmo, I think those things on the left astronaut's backback should be wider than those of right one'.
