Description
Its not really a finished work as it is more a study into a alternative past when the USSR did push on after loosing the race to the moon and send a man to Mars on a one way mission.
As i said a study, the lander is based on a model of the Vostok capsule that i made earlier and i think that the martian atmosphere came out rather well.
BTW: Vostok capsules are still being used, not manned anymore, but basically they stuff the capsule with a science payload, send it into orbit for a few weeks and de-orbit it and retrieve the capsule to study its content after a few weeks in zero-g.

I think you got the landscape and the sky spot on. It really does look like that over here. My main concern is with the face-plate of the guy's helmet. You really have to zoom in to see what's going on. From the gallery view it looks like you drew a cartoon face on it.

This is really fascinating and visually stunning. I like the alternate timeline setting too. I second "TheBryster": spot on.
