Description:

They watched the rest of the show in silence, grateful that for the last eight-minute segment the leading cable news channel stopped insulting the intelligence of its viewership and instead showed pictures found on the Internet based on the recent photos.

The last three pictures caught their attention. Even Mitch sat up as the camera lingered on each for about ten seconds.

There was a picture of the entire Ares III crew, including Watney, drawn as if they were from the alien world. Lewis, a long-necked dragon with a smaller muzzle than Fireball but much larger wings draped protectively around the others; Martinez, a bug-pony with a mischievous smile and glowing brown eyes; Johannsen, a unicorn filly levitating a computer with a ray of light from her horn; Beck, a pegasus with a stethoscope; Vogel, a strange eagle-horse hippogriff hybrid with glasses; and sitting in the front, half-covered with dirt, an earth pony Watney making a silly face at the viewer.

Another BIG commission! This one was commissioned by Dogman11, but the image itself was inspired by Kris Overstreet's FimFiction "The Maretian": https://www.fimfiction.net/story/396744/the-maretian. In one scene, people on Earth have drawn fanart of the two crews — the human Hermes crew, and the Mars-stranded crew of Mark Watney and the Equestrians. One of the pieces involved the Hermes crew being drawn as if THEY were Equestrians (there was a companion piece of the other crew as humans, but that one is not on my docket). I based my representation off of the description in the story and filled in the rest while consulting with Dogman. All in all, I think it turned out well! Thanks for the commission!
