#Lunex Art

[lunex-the-cat]

Her name is Dexter and she has vibes, that is all I know. Character design fun I finally decided to finish from my character sketch WIP hole. Seeing as I basically have nothing else to do with her she's gonna be shoved into the Pocket Void. Quick brace design for her under the cut

Concept Art of the Aerojet M-1 rocket motor, the largest designed and partially tested.

"The M-1 traces its history to US Air Force studies from the late 1950s for its launch needs in the 1960s. By 1961 these had evolved into the Space Launcher System design. The SLS consisted of a series of four rocket designs, all built around a series of solid-fuel boosters and liquid-hydrogen-powered upper stages.

The smallest model, intended to launch the Dyna-Soar, used two 100-inch (2,500 mm) solids and an "A" liquid core. To power the "A" booster, Aerojet was contracted to convert an LR-87, used in the Titan II missile, to run on liquid hydrogen. A prototype was successfully tested between 1958 and 1960. Initial studies of the 100-inch (2,500 mm) solid were also handed to Aerojet, starting in 1959.

The SLS also envisioned a number of much larger designs intended to launch the Air Force's Lunex Project crewed lunar landing. Lunex was a direct landing mission, in which a single very large spacecraft would fly to the Moon, land, and return. In order to launch such a design to low Earth orbit (LEO), a very large booster with a 125,000 lb (57,000 kg) payload would be required. These larger SLS designs followed the same basic outline as the smaller Dynasoar booster, but used much more powerful 180-inch (4,600 mm) solids and the "B" and "C" liquid stages. To provide the required power, the liquid stages mounted a cluster of twelve J-2s. To reduce this complexity, the Air Force also had Aerojet start studies of a much larger hydrogen-fueled design that would replace the twelve J-2s with only two engines. These initial studies would eventually emerge as the M-1, with a thrust of 1.2 million pounds force.

When NASA formed in 1958, they also started planning for a lunar landing. Like the Air Force, their Project Apollo initially favoured a direct ascent profile, requiring a large booster to launch the spacecraft into LEO. Prior to NASA taking over Wernher von Braun's Saturn work for the US Army, they had no large rocket designs of their own, and started a study program known as Nova to study a range of options. Initially, the payload requirements were fairly limited, and the favoured Nova designs used a first stage with four F-1 engines and a payload of about 50,000 lb (23,000 kg). These designs were presented to President Dwight D. Eisenhower on January 27, 1959.

However, the Apollo spacecraft requirements quickly grew, settling on a 10,000 lb (4,500 kg) spacecraft (the CSM) with a three-person crew. To launch such a craft to the Moon required a massive 125,000 lb (57,000 kg) payload to LEO. Nova designs of this capability were quickly presented with up to eight F-1 engines, along with much more powerful upper stages that demanded the M-1 engine. Thus, for a brief period, the M-1 was used on the baseline designs for both NASA's and the Air Force's lunar programs.

In 1961, President John F. Kennedy announced the goal of landing a person on the Moon before the decade was out. After a brief argument, NASA won the mission over the Air Force. However, Nova would require massive manufacturing capability that did not currently exist, and it was not clear that booster construction could be started in time for a landing before 1970. By 1962 they had decided to use von Braun's Saturn V design, which went through a process of re-design to produce a usable booster that could be built in the existing facilities at Michoud, Louisiana.

Uprating thrust, then cancellation

With the selection of Saturn for the lunar missions, work on Nova turned to the post-Apollo era. The designs were re-targeted for crewed planetary expeditions, namely a crewed landing on Mars. Even utilizing a lightweight mission profile like that selected for Apollo, a Mars mission required a truly massive payload of about one million pounds to low Earth orbit. This led to a second series of design studies, also known as Nova, although they were essentially unrelated to the earlier designs.

Many of the new designs used the M-1 as their second-stage engine, although demanding much higher payloads. In order to meet these goals, the M-1 project was uprated from 1.2 million pounds force to a nominal 1.5 million pounds force, and the designers deliberately added more turbopump capability to allow it to expand to at least 1.8 million and potentially up to 2.0 million pounds force. Additionally, the M-1 was even considered for a number of first-stage designs, in place of the F-1 or the 180-inch (4,600 mm) solids. For this role the specific impulse was dramatically reduced, and it appears that some consideration was given to various expanding nozzle designs to address this.

M-1 development continued through this period, although as the Apollo program expanded, NASA started cutting funding to the M-1 project in order to complete Saturn-related developments first. In 1965, another NASA project studied advanced versions of the Saturn, replacing the cluster of five J-2s on the S-II second stage with one M-1, five J-2Ts (an improved version of the J-2 with an aerospike nozzle), or a high-pressure engine known as the HG-3, which would later become the direct predecessor of the Space Shuttle's SSME.

By 1966 it was clear that present funding levels for NASA would not be maintained in the post-Apollo era. The Nova design studies ended that year, and the M-1 along with it. The last M-1 contract expired on August 24, 1965, although testing continued on existing funds until August 1966. Studies on the J-2T ended at the same time. Although the HG-3 was never built, its design formed the basis for the Space Shuttle Main Engine.

The final report (1966) found:

The feasibility of all major M-1 Engine components, except for the cooled chamber and the gas-cooled skirt, was demonstrated.

Performance data were obtained and the mechanical integrity was established for the injector, the fuel turbopump, the oxidizer turbopump, and the gas generator assembly. Also, it was established that these components are satisfactory for use in a demonstration engine.

Prototypes

Over the three-year lifetime of the project, a total of eight combustion chambers were built (two of them uncooled test units), eleven gas generators, four oxygen pumps, as well as four hydrogen pumps that were in the process of being completed.

Scaled down models of the pumps were used during design/development to 1963."

Done based on this post by @calcium-cat

The poses are kinda awkward but considering this is the most characters I’ve successfully put in a single image (and they’re not just standing next to each other) I’d say I did pretty well :)

Anyways now that I’ve finally finished that I can go back to today’s plan which was writing even though I accidentally spent a lot of today on this drawing

Process of Making The 3rd Comic Book Cover For My FMP✏️

For todays session, I started to work on the third front comic book cover. 

There is a post already on the sketch I made of this which I ended up really liking so I then put it into Autodesk Sketchbook and then drew the line art of Olivia. 

After that I then started to colour in the dark sides of her character when she is turning to the dark side to join forces with King Lunex. Ofter that I then started to colour in the light side. This was really fun to do but can be very annoying because I was working on a big canvas so I couldn’t work on a lot of layers.

After I have finished colouring her in, I then started to draw the corruption magic swirling around her. I wanted do make the magic red because that is the colour of her eyes and I thought it would really pop, I also want red and black to be the colour palette for King Lunex.

Once complete, I then coloured in her gem and then made it glow. I then made the background looking like shattered glass, I just layers two images that I found on google and then changed the hue to red to make this.

Then the front comic book was complete.

As per my last post, startle & floof!

[lunex-the-cat]

~✨Dress Up Time✨~

These are all real outfits I own :D

[lunex-the-cat]

I just thought of a art challenge

Take a character and see how much you can simplify their design while still haveing them recognizable.

Who needs extra bows & filigree. They have a notable sweater! That's enough.

~

Then take the character and see how much extra little detail you can put into their design to make them unique.

Face markings, ribbons and belts. New limbs! Who cares so long as it's still mostly recognizable as the same character.

___

The thought behind this is I always flip flop between wishing my designs where more detailed and interesting like some artists vs seeing people who can do barely any extras to a character and still have them so compelling with their simplicity & shapes. I figure this challenge puts both of those wants to the test.

Maybe when I get back home I'll try this.

OH if anyone actually does happen to try this tag me, I wanna see.

[lunex-the-cat]

Trying to get back into the groove of art after not being able to draw for a while is so hard.

[lunex-the-cat]

Vent I guess? Dunno I made it a while back and guess I didn't have the guts to post it at the time. I'm just feeling this right now and it's frustrating. Probably need to go to sleep and I'll feel better tomorrow

[lunex-the-cat]

Couldn’t resist doing more
