Description

Prismacolor on Canson colored art paper.
Interesting how one thing can lead to another. I posted a piece of art of the LOST IN SPACE robot a few days ago. And I got several nice comments about it, as well as a COMMISSION! Someone liked the robot drawing so much they commissioned a similarly styled piece for themselves. Okay, the drawing depicts the Jupiter 2 and Major Don West on the Planet of the Saticons. The Saticons were a strange alien race that caused trouble for the Robinsons in a couple of different episodes of Lost In Space. They were clothed totally in shimmery black body stocking, capes, gloves and (believe it or not) DERBY HATS with a single EYE in the center of the derby crown! Lost In Space was not known for spending a lot of money on their alien make-up and costumes. Anyway, the guy who commissioned this I think is writing a LIS fan fic and this is sort of his book cover. He told me that he wanted the Jupiter 2 in there, Don West with a laser pistol, and one or more Saticons threatening him. I suggested the phantom Saticon looming in the twilight sky and he liked that idea a lot. So here it is!
I'm not very happy with my likeness of Mark Goddard who played Don West on the show. I'm usually betetr at likenesses than this suggests, and I would have liked to re-do it, but the commissioner did not pay a whole lot for the art, so he gets what he gets.
