While the power of imagination knows no bounds, we can not say thank you enough to @evelynepark.bsky.social, the brilliant artist who helped us put faces to the characters we’ve come to love. The Minerva Project and Worlds Away take off in 4 days!

A set of three in-progress portraits showing Nasir Baydaq, Lila Malik, and Mara Belova. A glass palette with blues and orange paint sits in the foreground, along with brushes and paint tubes.

The final portrait of Arnaud Hynes, showing a bald man with light skin, wearing a blue military uniform with waves as an internal pattern. A blue-grey planet casts a shadow on his face, and a large star glows behind his head. The painting rests on an easel among several tubes of paint.

A panel of eight early sketches, arranged in two sets of four showing each of the four characters. The set of four on the left is in pencil and the set of four on the right is in pastel.

A near-final portrait of Nasir Baydaq rests on an easel, with portraits of Mara Belova and Lila Malik (partial) leaning off to the side. In the foreground is a glass palette covered in many colors of paint, along with an array of paint tubes and brushes.
