This is a quick rendition of what Mars might look like if it were closer to the Sun. As it is, the Sun is rather dim, compared to here on Earth. Granted, with a long lens you could probably get an image like this. It’s just conceptual art and experimenting with overlays and other techniques. The shapes were all done in Illustrator with the extra touches being done in Photoshop. Also, this is certainly a fictional Mars because I arbitrarily placed the stars and the landscape is based on imaginations. I don’t want Neil deGrasse Tyson to come out and correct me like he did with James Cameron. Then again, how awesome would that be?
