Starfield | Shattered Space DLC Key Art

Key art painted for Starfield's first DLC, Shattered Space, with thoughtful guidance from CD Martin Westberg and help from an awesome creative team at AKQA. Together we explored quite a few initial directions. Ultimately, Bethesda settled on a landscape concept that we further refined before moving into drawing and painting the final key art.
The actual file is about 18k pixels wide so none of these images are anywhere near full-sized (womp womp), but I threw in some detail shots that give an impression of what the piece is like up close, how drawn it is. We really worked to keep that hand-made feeling Starfield key art has had since the beginning.
