Brittle Hollow! I'm doing most of these locations in the order that I visited them in game, so this was the third planet I went to. I find it really interesting to see how different people play the game. I made sure I found everything on each planet before moving onto the next one, whereas my friend just went wherever he felt each loop.
I had to experiment with a bunch of different techniques for this one, and I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. I feel like committing to doing a series of artworks is how I improve the most at art.

Brittle Hollow postcard design from Outer Wilds (one of my favorite games!). It's a bit weird seeing Riebeck at the surface, though

Day 13 of Inktober
Believe it or not, I like this one. Pretty much didn’t rush it.
I think it’s so funny how the scape pods look like a Sol Key, one of the first things I noticed while playing

The Outer Wilds planets ranked, by someone who hasn't completed the game yet
(so yeah disclaimer I don't know everything yet but I think I have enough knowledge to rank them. Only minor spoilers ahead, as I don't know the major ones myself haha)
1. Timber Hearth
Pros: happy cozy atmosphere. My favorite music in the game. Bunch of fun tutorial-esque things to mess with. And some fun places like the quantam grove and stuff
Cons: a little bit boring not gonna lie. If you're just wandering around, there's a lot of blank space.
2. Ember Twin and Ash Twin (ranking them together for simplicity
Pros: so much fun lore! And no outright threats that will, like, eat you or something. No matter where you are in the loop, there's something new due to the sand moving around.
Cons: okay so the sand is a little scary lmao. I've almost gotten crushed a few times. And if you're on Ash Twin, it's easy to get sucked away haha
3. Giants Deep
Pros: pretty fun to explore, especially if you're in your ship. Gabbro is my favorite musician (?) They're very chill. Also the Tower of Quantam Knowledge on this planet was super helpful haha
Cons: it is pesky and annoying to be flung into space not gonna lie. And the heavy gravity makes it annoying to traverse once you get on an island.
4. Brittle Hollow
Pros: this planet is very pretty with the crystal-like formations. Lots of good lore here too. Lots to explore!
Cons: it's super stressful to try and find stuff before it gets sucked away lmao. And sure, you can get back pretty easily with the station, but it's still such a hassle! Also the tractor beams (?? No clue what to call them) are iffy and one time they just dropped me (no it wasn't one where you have to choose a path it was straight and I apperantly was looking around too much and whoop there I go). Also Hollow Lantern is so annoying too like chill out man
5. Dark Bramble
Pros: Feldspar can play that harmonica crazy good. Uhhhh I guess the lore of how the bramble killed the planet that was there before is interesting
Cons: ITS SCARY!!!!!!! Even if you know how to navigate to find Feldspar, it's still freaky and foggy and hard to see! The music is creepy too. Literally hate this place because the stinking fish are so evil. Even if the bramble momentarily protects me, they're still there, always... waiting...
And there's my inconclusive list! I'm not sure how close I am to completing the game, but I've explored each planet (maybe excluding Dark Bramble) a decent amount. These might be subject to change. (I also haven't managed to stay on the Interloper for very long (how I was supposed to know you need to down thrust just to stay on it??), although I guess since thats not a planet it doesn't count :)
