I just needed a couple of astronauts for this scene, but because I used the original psychedelic scene, not only did it put their faces as they were, but also comically added the element of the 1960s garb of the cut out side of the woman’s dress. How funny is it to add that element to a spacesuit which is supposed to be completely pressure sealed?

At the end of the movie, a small band of Earthlings manage to escape Earth just as Bellus burns it to a crisp.

They open the door to their spaceship, although someone protested, but good logic prevailed. Basically, we are on this new world, and if we can’t breath the air, “we are toast.”

I like the painted background, their first view of the new world, but I immediately saw a disturbing element. On the far left side, there are prominent gashes cut into the mountainside and that says to me, “Intelligent life here already.” Later I noted two pyramid like structures which I had at first thought were just mountains. But, what mountain is shaped so perfectly conical?

I let AI render this view several times because it’s first rendering removed the river flowing across the green plain. And then it created a large lake.

Only the next morning did I realize that these renderings provided the possibility of a world that changes drastically, and possibly fairly often, perhaps even daily.

So the placid welcoming scene quickly becomes threatening. A valley that floods at times, so we wouldn’t want to build our homes there, or plant crops there.

That reminded me of a character that I had the AI create some time ago and I wanted the image to play with the idea that maybe we hadn’t actually gone to the moon, but only staged that visit here upon Earth. The AI added the boom mike in view as it’s playful poke in the eye, but later I realized that he’s not wearing a helmet. Even funnier.
