huff, pant ..... got this one done on time just before the new horizons probe's fly-by of everyone's favourite little dwarf planet Pluto.
i almost thought i would miss the opportunity to do a revamp of this dinosaur----> i did years back.
its amazing how much my art changed since then. its also amazing how much our understanding of Pluto and its moons also improved as well.
for example, we now know that Pluto has a large polar ice cap along with dark patches along its equator, and that its largest moon Charon has an anti-polar cap and a large impact crater. all of these features i tried to depict as accurately as i could in the remake, including the colours. this image was mostly a whole lot of editing, and tweaking. 
oh, and i will be making a wallpaper pack of this image so that you all could enjoy Pluto for as long as your eyes crave, right there on your desktop.  you guys should see it a little after this post.

please go learn more about these amazing worlds here ------> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluto
and learn about the little space probe that is making this all happen -----> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Hori…

me right now for the fly-by.-----> 

any comments, favs or critiques which are always welcome and appreciated!
