Description

Alpha Ursae Minoris, the North Star, Pole Star, Lodestar, the first supergiant in the Astral Chimera series, this is Polaris. I chose to paint her on 11"x14" board to give a sense of scale when compared to the others. Though essentially lupine, her horns were based of those of longhorn cattle—some of the most truly impressive horns you'll ever see.Polaris is a warm white star with a spectral type of F7Ib, with two main sequence companions of F6V and F3V. She also has two distant companions (not pictured).

Oil paints and gold leaf on 11"x14" gessobord. Fifth in a batch of 6 Astral Chimera that will be going to the Further Confusion art show this weekend. With any luck I'll have the final member of the batch, Betelgeuse, scanned tomorrow.
