I debated about giving him a full space suit - but figured that his tough dinosaur skin would keep his body from being truly affected by outer space. And then I was thinking about whether or not he needed a pack for oxygen...instead of adding anything like that I decided it could look cool to have a tube that comes towards the viewer and off camera to sort of hint that he's attached to something (like a space ship) just off screen. And it kept Lotzi from being too junky and busy looking.

Lotzi: in space
This was created for this week's Illustration Friday topic, "Space."
This is an illustration of Lotzi in Space. I did the rough drawing and the color in Adobe Photoshop.
