“Even after we’ve come this far, life still exists”

Voyager 3 log 12/10/2066:
Carbon/Silicon composite life forms detected in fissures on surface of the planet, Pluto. Long tendrils noted appear to be used to capture solar particles. Tendrils extend for hundreds of kilometres. Life forms have higher population densities in the deepest fissures.

My favourite so far of the Planets, also one of the first to have its concept sketch completed. I’ve given up for actual realism and opted for the style that’s taken shape in the rest of the pictures. The creatures life of star light as much as sun light, at Pluto's distance the sun is little brighter than any other star in the sky. Turns out that Pluto is no longer a proper planet. It's a dwarf planet. There are larger object than little Pluto in the Oort cloud, a giant cloud of debris that exist beyond the orbit of Neptune.

26 May 2006	Clara A. Easter	Loading... Thats a really cool idea i didnt realize that they were so big until i read the log im curious though is that little white thing the ship? Shelz Keast replies: "Yup that 'little white thing' is indeed the ship. Guess I forgot to mention that."
6 Nov 2006	Dave Cripps	Loading... Would they be like sea anenomie: just waving about catching the food? Shelz Keast replies: "Yeah, that's pretty much how they'd eat. I figured they might survive on passing space dust. Sounds a little implosable though."
4 Dec 2006	Trevor Mathis	Loading... Interesting. Cool concept. TAKE THAT SKEPTICS! Ya know they're considering classifying Pluto as a plutoid and not a planet? Apparently they found another object in our system that could be considered a plutoid as well. People need to leave Pluto be. Shelz Keast replies: "Yeah, I know about the talk of Pluto not being a true planet. But I thought they were going to call them dwarfplanets. Anyway there are larger than Pluto orbiting objects that aren't assteroids or commets out in the far reaches of the Solar sytsem (a region known as the Edward-Kuiper belt or just Kuiper belt). I do agree that Pluto's planet statis should be reviewed, though it is dissapointing, I think I was in charge of Pluto somtimeing in my early school years when we were studying the planets."
28 Jan 2007	Steven P. Love	Loading... I remember when I was in college over 20 years ago in an Astronomy class and even back then there was debate on whether Pluto was a planet. Back then some scientists thought that Pluto was a moon that had escaped from its orbit around Neptune. Partly because of its unusually elliptical orbit that dips way below the plane of the solar system. Whether it be a planet, planetoid, planetesmal, dwarf planet or just an overgrown Comet Pluto is still a fun object to play with artistically. Shelz Keast replies: "I think I've heard of the thoery of Pluto being an escaped moon of Neptune. Anyway, thanks for stopping by."
19 Mar 2008	Stephanie S. K. Marbach	Loading... wow, i really like that! it reminds me a lot of the underwaterworld exhibition we’ve got out here right now, about underwaterlife from 200m to 10’000m... very interesting... your picture would perfectly suit in there!
