Spaghettification

In the vicinity of strong gravitational fields such as those of super massive black holes objects will be subject to an effect called "Spaghettification".
The astronauts are stretched to long thin shapes caused by the extreme tidal forces of the black hole, turning this poor rescue attempt into a literal suicide mission.

I picked up on the space context of PhaseRunner 's template for the third round of his "you finish my artwork"-challenge to depict this mind-boggling phenomenon. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOkAQ3…

You can find a few wips and detail images on my instagram profile.

One astronaut and an image of a space probe was used from a free public NASA image collection. Other elements are either painted or part of the original template provided by PhaseRunner .

Thanks for stopping by & I hope you like it!
