Description

Hi, all! Sorry for not posting anything for a bit there, I've been busy with a lot these days, and haven't had much time for art, aside from all these patches I've done! These are for my good friend's KSP Real Solar System Series, Terminal Velocity. You can find it at the link below! Below the link will be an image ID of all the patches, as well. Thanks for your patience! I'll hopefully be getting to my own projects soon, but I've still been struggling with fatigue these days, so posts will most likely be far and few between.


Also, a full res version is visible on my Patreon for free! There are a lot of more details visible there, as I had to shrink this one down by a lot so that I was able to upload it. The original file is 281mb! Image ID and links below.

Image ID begins below:
From the top left to the bottom right, there are 3 rows. On the top row, there are 4 patches, on the middle there are 3, and on the bottom are two. All patches have a black background, representing space, and have a gold ring around them, representing the border of the patches.

The 1st patch on the 1st row is named Tholia, and represents a manned mission from Earth to Venus. On the left of the patch is Earth, with the North Pole, Russia, and Alaska visible. Behind the earth is a red and blue arrow, shooting past Venus, which is in the right of the patch. It has very faint yellow/white clouds. Above both planets is text, reading Tholia. To the right side of Earth and below Venus are 3 stars, representing the crew members in this program.

The next patch, 2nd patch on the 1st row, reads Sarek, and represents a lunar robotics program. In the center foreground of the patch is two arrows, a blue and red one, wrapping around the Moon and Earth, which are behind it. The Moon is directly in front of the Earth, but slightly smaller than it, so both bodies are visible. The moon is a light and dark grey world, with the side normally facing Earth facing forward. Most of the volcanic seas are visible, along with a few smaller craters. It is pockmarked with white specks, representing craters. Behind it is Earth, with Russia on the left side of the Earth, and Alaska and Canada on the right side, with the North Pole on top. They have a variety of greens, whites, and browns covering them, representing forests and mountain ranges. There are white clouds covering the entirety of the earth, but are transparent enough that you can see the land below. There are two stars to the side of the Earth, representing the amount of missions in this program.

The next patch is the 3rd patch on the 1st row, and reads Sisko. It is a helicopter that was sent to Titan, a moon of Saturn. In the foreground is a red/blue/gold arrow, wrapping around the front of Titan, going behind it, and then going behind Saturn, which is in the back left of the patch. Titan is a hazy orange world, with very little surface features due to its thick atmosphere. It has a shiny edge on the part facing the sun, and a slight purple hue on the terminator, where the sun is just rising. Behind Titan and to the left is Saturn, which is very small. It has yellow bands and clouds, which are highly differentiated. It has a thin band of rings, which are just barely visible as they intersect the arrow shooting behind it. The rings leave a shadow, which wrap around the southern half of the planet. There is text above both bodies which reads Sisko.

The 4th patch on the 1st row reads Montgomery 9, and is a Venusian probe. Venus takes up a semicircle near the bottom of the patch, and has a red and blue arrow shooting behind it, reaching for the Sun which is at the very top center of the patch. Venus has a few different color cloud bands around it, but are hard to differentiate. The arrow has a star at the very top of it, which ends right before the sun at the top center. The star has 8 points, representing Venus and the amount of probes in this mission, which is one. The text is at the bottom of the batch, in the shadow of Venus, reading Montgomery 9. It is curved to fill the Venusian shadow.

The 1st patch on the 2nd row reads Rom, and is a Phobos Sample Return mission. In the foreground is a red and blue arrow, which covers up most of Phobos and Mars, which are just behind it. Phobos is the first object behind the arrows, and is mostly shadow. It is a brown potato shaped moon, with a few visible craters and surface features. It has a bright shiny rim, reflecting the sun. Behind it and to the right is Mars, which is only partially in the patch. It's visible surface is even slimmer than Phobos, and is mostly obscured by the atmosphere and surface reflecting the sun. You can make out a few features, such as the pole, a few dark areas, and Valles Marineris, the largest canyon in the solar system. The arrow curves behind Mars, emanating from a small light blue fuzzy dot, representing Earth. On the far left is the Sun, which is not fully in frame. Only a few visual effects from the sun are visible. It has text that curves around the top left of Phobos, reading Rom.

The 2nd patch on the 2nd row reads Benjamin, and is part of the Universal Rover Series, a streamlined set of Rovers that have been sent to most major moons and bodies in the solar system. This one is set at Saturn. In the center of the patch is Saturn, which is viewed from the top down. The polar hexagon is visible, as are all of its rings, including the divisions in them, as well as the shadow Saturn leaves on them. There are a few bands visible, but not much, as only most of the northern hemisphere is visible. Below Saturn is a red and blue arrow, which is emanating from the bottom of the patch. At the bottom of the patch, in an arc that curves around the patch, are all of Saturn's major moons. From left to right in the arc are Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Dione, Rhea, Titan, and Iapetus. They all have their notable surface features visible. On Mimas, the large impact crater is visible, and it is the smallest of the bunch. Enceladus is mostly white, with a few blue streaks on it, representing the tiger stripe features found on it which emanate water vapor. Tethys has plenty of craters and a yellow spot. Dione has its large white chasms/mountain ranges visible, as well as several craters. Rhea is next, which has no notable features aside from a few craters and different colored depressions. Titan is an orange and hazy world, due to its thick atmosphere. On its north pole a storm is barely visible. Iapetus is last, featuring white and black terrain, and a large impact crater. In the black background is a field of stars. On the very top of the patch is text, which reads Benjamin. Alongside the gold ring there is a dark brown outer ring.

The 3rd patch on the 2nd row reads Picard, and is also part of the Universal Rover Series. This one is dedicated to Uranus. On the far right is Uranus, which is mostly in view, but a part of it is cut off by the patch. In a straight line from the left side of the patch to the right are Uranus's 5 major moons, and behind them is a red and blue arrow, shooting straight through them all into Uranus. From left to right are Oberon, Titania, Umbriel, Ariel, and Miranda, with Oberon being the largest and Miranda being the smallest. Oberon is first from left to right, with a reddish-brown surface, a bright reflective limb towards the left of it, and plenty of craters. It has several large ones, a few small ones, as well as a few chasms on its terminator. Most of the craters have center peaks in them, and the surface is dotted with white and dark brown specks. Titania is next, which is a reddish-brown moon as well, but more brown than Oberon. has a dark brown chasm at its southern pole, and a very large impact crater in the middle of its terminator. The impact crater has even more chasms leading out of it. It is covered with white specks and smaller craters as well. Umbriel is next, which is a darker brown than the two previous moons. It has several large dark craters covering its surface, as well as a few random chasms spread across it. It has a bright white crater on its northern part, and is also covered in white specks as well. Next to it is Ariel, which is a lighter reddish-brown moon. It has far more chasms than any of the other moons before it, and less craters than the others. They wrap around most of the moon, leading to snake-like features. It does not have as many white specks as the others did, either. Last but not least is Miranda, the smallest moon of the bunch. It has a very rough sphere-shape, with many imperfections. Its terrain is very striated, with black circles near the top left of it, and other various winding shades of grey in around it, hinting at its chaotic past. There are a few craters visible, but it is mostly just signs of the moon being shattered in the past. Uranus is the very last object on the right of the patch, and is a light blue with a dark limb, and a bright center region. It is tipped on its side, and has little to no surface features, except near the terminator, where a few white clouds are visible. A few grey ring bands are also visible at the very edge of the dark side of its terminator. On the bottom left of the patch, curving with it, it reads Picard. In the black background is a field of stars. Alongside the gold ring there is a dark brown outer ring.

The 1st patch on the 3rd row reads Heywood, and is part of the Universal Rover Series. This one is headed to Neptune and it's only major moon, Triton. In the foreground & slightly cut off on the right is Triton, Neptune's only major moon. It's a fairly large and complex moon, with a lot of different features. On it's left side, near the terminator, there is a greyish flat area, with a bit of a blue and purple tint to it. It has surface features like a cantaloupe here, which is a bunch of misshapen raised ridges connected together, forming small circles. This stretches over most of its terminator region and a bit into the sun-facing side, only ending before a lighter grey part of the moon. The northern part, before the main light grey part, is a slight brown color, with a few strange surface features, which are dark grey/purple spots surrounded by white, which take on different shapes. There are only 4 of them, and one looks almost like a mushroom. On the main grey part, there are a lot of different features. When the greyish-brown plains connect to the main light grey area in the center, there are a lot of light grey parts surrounding the darker grey parts, leading to a bunch of weird enclosed shapes. There are more of them towards the southern half, and less and less up north. Towards the center of the moon are the geysers, which are represented by very small black streaks. They are mostly clustered together, with almost none appearing outside this region. Alongside these geysers are a few random white spots, which are misshapen blobs. More to the right are more misshapen blobs, but they range in color from slightly red to yellowish white. They are more in the northern area to the right of the geysers, but there are a few rusty colored ones, near the southern half when it disconnects into another grey-ish purple area. On the limb, there are a few chasms in the far right center side, another purple-ish grey plains region in the south, and an even brighter white section in the north limb area. There is a slight white haze surrounding the edge of Triton, and on the very very edge of the limb there are a few black geyser jets, but are very hard to make out. Behind it & not cut off by the edge of the patch is Neptune, which takes up a large majority of the screen. It is a deep blue world with different shades of blue making up different bands, from its north pole to its south. Some of the bands near the poles are darker than others, while the ones in the center are brighter. There are a few white clouds all over the planet, as well as two major storms. At the equator is the Great Dark Spot, which is just slightly to the left of the far right of the planet. It has a few white clouds circling the edge of it, and one in the northern left part of it. It has the shape of an eye, and is much darker blue then the surrounding bands. In the dark band near the north pole is another dark spot, but it is half obscured by the curvature of the planet. It has a lighter spot in the middle of it, and a few white clouds circling around it as well. Behind Neptune and Triton is a red and blue arrow, which stretches to the far right of the patch, emanating from a fuzzy blue dot, which represents Earth. On the far right curvature of the patch, there is text which reads Heywood. In the black background is a field of stars. Alongside the gold ring there is a dark brown outer ring.

The 2nd patch of the 3rd row reads Janeway, and is the last rover in the Universal Rover Series. This one is directed towards Pluto and its moon Charon. In the very center of the patch is a dark sphere with a light blue limb, and a large blueish-white hazy atmosphere, which extends out very far. This is based off of a picture taken by NASA's New Horizons probe, which took a picture of Pluto from behind as it was passing by it, revealing a beautiful blue-ish haze that surrounded the entire dwarf planet. There are no notable surface features, hinting at how Pluto is a mostly unknown world at the time, with very little of it explored. It has a very small bright blueish white circle on the very edge of the planet, representing its incredibly thin atmosphere. Behind Pluto are two red, blue, and gold arrows coming from both the left and right, going behind Pluto. They are dark as well, with only a little light hitting the top of it. At the very bottom of the patch, running along the curvature is text reading Janeway. In the black background is a field of stars. Alongside the gold ring there is a dark brown outer ring.

Behind every patch and to the bottom left of it is a slight black shadow, and the background all the patches are on is teal, with a rough paper texture appearance to it.
