High Moon by Mayfurr

High Moon

Mayfurr

In an alternative future where the Apollo lunar landings were just the first step in setting up permanent bases on the moon, Super Collie is investigating a series of unexplained deaths on a lunar mining facility. She discovers the deaths are suicides caused by mandatory drugs the company gives its workers to boost production - and to make matters worse, the corporation is now trying to silence her.

Now she stands ready to defend herself from the soon-to-arrive company assassins...

"The shuttle craft has landed, the killers have arrived -
I know I am alone here, there's no one on my side.
I'm ready for the showdown, so let the chase begin:
I will not be defeated,
I have made a solemn vow to leave here soon -
HIGH MOON!"

-- "High Moon", Star One song link

Drawing notes

  • The Star One song (and hence the picture setting) were inspired by the film "Outland", starring Sean Connery.
  • The moonbase decor is heavily based on Moonbase Alpha from "Space: 1999", while the spacesuit is based on the Russian "Soyuz" design. "Good Roscosmos surplus spacesuit, bargain price on TradeMe, refurbished with quality American and Russian components all made in China."
  • BOS (Bureau of Superheroes) logo created by except23
  • Yes, there is a "New Zealand Space Agency" - however I based this logo on the old NASA "worm" logo from the 1980s.

Drawn entirely in Krita, a free open-source multi-platform digital art application that doesn't need the drug to stay alive.
