    Default The Galaxy of After Earth - and a Walk Through of the Process

    I was commissioned to map the Milky Way for the expanded universe around the film After Earth. Here's the final piece:

    I've finally got around to writing up the full process behind the illustration of the galaxy map in steps. I hope you like it, and find the walkthough helpful. It was an interesting challenge - and the first time I'd had to illustrate a galaxy.

    The map is excellent - contrary to that joke of a movie.

    Yep, not defending the movie I just did the map. Indeed I had some rather entertaining conversations with my editor where I highlighted the more egregious science issues with the film (and yes, that list was looong).

    Excellent map! And very interesting to see your process (which seems to represent a ton of work by the way!).

    Very nice! I'm looking for some cartographic help with a science fiction RPG, so I'm peeking through old threads looking for an artist.
