I recently read Alastair Reynolds’ short story “The Real Story” (in the collection, Zima Blue, ISBN 1-59780-058-9). I thought i’d recreate an approximation of one of it’s scenes. Basejumping on Mars, ohyeah.

Blame the new Star Trek film for the flares.

About 4hrs work, with a little too much fiddling for what was meant to be a sketch.
