I started this piece back in February, which was supposed to be my Valentine’s Day art. Unfortunately I got sick the same night I made most of my progress, and it seems every time I opened it, I really did get sick with something the day right after.

So I didn’t touch it for a few months. Having an impending event that took place a day ago, I decided to just go ahead and try to get it done.

In irony, this is getting done on the start of my 40th birthday. That was not planned coincidence.

Either way, my redhead character Katie and generic OC species and cultures to accompany her on a girl’s night out. Very friendly faces, they want to hang out with you and let you know that things will be okay for the future.

I listened to Frutiger Dillon – Big Chemistry countless times on loop when working on this, hence the art’s name. I originally was planning to do a Frutiger Aero styled piece, but I felt impressed to dip back towards sci-fi as I finished the background. Still, there’s a lot of influence of the aero style on the architecture.
