All are drawn with MSPaint or Chibi Paint. Was pleased to see the new MSPaint "scales up" well for enlarged printing: the pixels that are supposed to be sharp stay sharp (provided you turn off "edge smoothing" in the printer) and the brushwork that is algorithmically fuzzed out doesn't look as bad as I thought it might.

Terraforming Earth

The original .png file of the above was posted on Computers Club Drawing Society.
Initially it was on a spare, light blue background but then I decided it needed something like the surface of Venus.
Seeing Rick Silva's "En Plein Air" show at Transfer Gallery and the large-format 3D landscapes on his blog inspired me to enlarge the above to 800 x 800. Am generally not a bicubic smoothing fan and am still weighing whether the scale boost adds anything.

Update: Decided to take down the 800 x 800 enlargement I originally linked to here. It's been replaced with another CCDS drawing that was made for that scale, rather than just blown up for effect.
