Art has a way of revealing unseen possibilities, of bridging the gap between the known and the unknown. For this piece, I wanted to explore a divine presence beyond Earth, a being that exists in a world untouched by human history.
The idea of Mother Mars came to me as a fusion of traditional religious iconography and extraterrestrial mythology. What if, in some faraway place, another civilization revered a divine figure—not as we do on Earth, but through their own unique vision of creation and protection?
She is a watcher of the red sands, a celestial guardian over an alien world, much like the deities humanity has depicted for millennia. Instead of two eyes, she sees beyond—a third eye of wisdom, looking into the fabric of time and space.
🔹 Step 1: Initial Sketch
I started with a pencil sketch to bring my vision to life. I focused on flowing robes, soft yet otherworldly features, and a large radiant halo—symbolizing her divine energy.
🔹 Step 2: Inking the Design
Once I had the foundation, I went over the sketch with ink, refining the lines and emphasizing the shadows to create depth. The halo became more radiant, and her celestial presence became stronger.
🔹 Step 3: Digital Coloring
For the final stage, I moved the drawing into Canva and used digital painting techniques to bring her to life. I chose vibrant greens for her skin, representing an alien species, while her halo glows golden, signifying an advanced celestial being. The Martian landscape in the background enhances her connection to the cosmos.
Mother Mars is a piece that challenges perspectives. What if life beyond Earth has its own spiritual figures, its own mythology, its own saints and saviors?
I’d love to hear your thoughts—do you think an advanced alien civilization would have its own divine figures, or is spirituality something uniquely human?
