Digital illustration of a rocket launching amidst clouds of smoke and a dark textured sky by Mark Smith

Mark Smith, Illustrator, San Francisco

About

This digital illustration by San Francisco-based illustrator Mark Smith captures a rocket lifting off from a launch pad. Billows of dense white smoke and exhaust envelop the base of the structure as a bright, glowing burst of light emanates from the engine. The background features a textured, moody dark blue sky with mottled patterns resembling clouds or cosmic dust. Fine halftone dots are visible across the atmospheric areas, giving the piece a graphic, printed texture.
