Personification - Blog Posts
Lily of the Valley
Upon a green hill
Under a lone tree
There I found it,
The Lily of the Valley
On a bright day
It sat morose
With its sweet, white face
Hung meekly towards the hill’s toes
In a patch of grass and fern,
And carnations auburn
Solemn tears adorned its bell-shaped head
Making me think of its words unsaid

A little poem I wrote for my English exercise about personification :)
Jupiter Icy Moon Explorer (Juice)
Alt. with 17776 color and a doodle… it was funnier in my head.

If you guys want to learn more about these guys I’ve be happy to lore dump about each and every one of them :)
I may be cringe :P

But you ask him if he likes his orbit or not

I love geography jokes
Currently studying cybersecurity fundamentals
The topic is dry as hell
So I made a bit of fun by personifying
Some words
I may do more but eh
Howdy-doo internet people, I drew my cat as a person
Your voyager 2 design has been bouncing around in my brain. May I know more about them? :33
Absolutely! Due to the missions' nature, I've characterised both Voyager probes as peaceful, enlightened, and a little esoteric with a love for music and the universe.
Design wise, V2's clothing is based on the Little Prince (due to some parallels with the mission) as well as bunny suits (yes they're called that), they were more lax with the cleanroom regulations back in the day so it's just a hat and coat. I made it black in my design to match the spacecraft's tarp.
They have blue eyes as a reference to the Pale Blue Dot image but I'm quickly realising it doesn't make much sense given that the image was taken by V1 and not 2, so I may change it to whatever the colour of V2's final image was in the future.
Real OGs will remember how both my Voyager designs were radically different from one another where one was designed upside down and the other rightside up; it was to reflect the spacecrafts' almost opposite trajectories but it was sorta a split second decision on my part back then haha.
Sputnik (Sputnik)
Been reading DunMesh lately.
More silly satellite people as always
I'd like to see Explorer in his army uniform, even though he's supposed to be a 'civilian' satellite. I mean, they didn't almost name him 'Top Kick' for nothing! On an unrelated note, I do not support the War in Viet Nam!
Hey presto! Launch provider cosplay!
The Explorer program was a pitch from the US Army, it competed directly with the Navy's Vanguard for the title of America's first satellite, and amongst its plethora of banging potential names also included "Highball", "Deal" and "Missile 29" (which I love). But having been mainly built by JPL citizens, I didn't give my personification of their first satellite much military flair—nor much of a closet for that matter—so this was a fun prompt to shake things up!
At first, the sheer amount of uniforms tore me on what would be best fit and that's JUST counting the 50s iterations, but then I thought it'd be a great moment to introduce his near-identical siblings who could just model in his place. Two birds, one stone! Meet 3 and 4. :-)
Sputnik 1 is 6x as heavy as Explorer. So, it is possible that he could carry him...
Oh, totally. But Sputnik's all about surprises, so why stop there?
(They live in low earth orbit with zero-G so it technically works both ways.)
Emirates Mars Mission 🛰🔴🌠
The real thing may have only been the size of a beach ball, but making Sputnik the same height as Yuri Gagarin was too good of an idea to pass up.

The Spitzer Space Telescope
A mid-to-far-infrared space observatory named after late American physicist Lyman Spitzer Jr., it was the fourth and final Great Observatory. For 16 years, he continually exceeded mission expectations before his well-earned retirement in 2020.

Layers of Helios ⊙
The popular, red renderings of the sun we're most familiar with are often taken in the UV spectrum, showing light emitted from helium atoms in the chromosphere, whereas looking at it in visible light shows a completely blank, white orb (much like Venus… except your eyeballs get simmered off)
Wanted to draw something inspired by this fun little musing. :)
This ain’t the first time this guy appeared on my account, here’s some more of them!
