Well here's my shot at this month's theme, a mid-late 1970s moonbase in the Apennine mountains, crewed by four astronauts. In the foreground we have an astronaut on a rocky outcrop, in the background there is a cylindrical cargo ship to the left and habitation quarters and science labs to the right. In the far left background is a LM, and in the far center background is an emergency escape module. This is a rough 8 1/2x11 concept sketch, which will be followed by an 18x24 final drawing. In the final drawing I plan on adding some new buildings, such as an observatory on top of one of the mountains.
PS. Can you spot all four astronauts?
