Artist's Comments

Only the title is inspired by David Bowie's lyrics, because this came to my mind when hearing that song.

But his lyrics isn't really about Mars and this work is inspired by those vintage SF magazines from the 50ies with heroes and heroines and fantastic animals on the red planet. Before we found out that there's nothing more there than probable bacterias when it comes to life.

But I loved that vision of Mars upon reading those mags - old even when I grew up, they used to be my dad's. So I made this artwork as a tribute to them.

And don't complain about the moons, I know Mars' Phobos and Deimos are nothing but boulders, but in those stories of old they were orbs just like our Moon.

Tools: Terragen, DAZ, Photoshop. One of :iconmjranum-stock:s male mannequins are the basis for my Martian man, because I wanted that very sterile look.

Hans uttryck påminner nästan lite om Silversurfer (om du har sett fantastic four så fattar du nog) ;)

Bumbibärsspriten, den magiska skiten
visst blir man full om man dricker av den
Ondska och törnar, det klarar fulla björnar
kämpar mot spriten och segrar igen!

Hipp hurra, för här kommer fyllebjörnarna,
raglar fram igenom barerna, o vi får supa med!

Beautiful! I especially love the skin tones and clothes on the Martians.

Jo, det har du faktiskt rätt i, när jag tänker efter. Och samma kalskalle också! :D

interesting... but you reversed the colors for their outfits: blue should've been for the guy and pink for the girl ... you won't find many men who like pink clothes - I'm sure you did it on purpose anyway... you can dress them anyhow you like,
but to me it doesn't seem right, although the entire view seems to transmit some kind of deserted sad feeling...
eh delete my comment if you don't like it, it's your right to do so if you want to

From Sammy Hagar, Marching to Mars which is one of my favorite songs from the same self titled CD...

Here we go marching to Mars
On a rainbow bridge
It doesn't seem so far
Steppin' into our universe
Moving towards life
To solve the problems on Earth

I might do something like you have done if I ever get my system back to 100%, though if you want you can tackle it.
