Hi everyone, here is the work I've done for National Geographic and Nasa for a major Mars project envisioning how Mars could look long time ago with the water theory. It would start as an Icy sand planet, then the water came from melting. The red tone we can see in the presents days is mainly because of the iron presence in the sand. I was also commissioned to create the animation showcasing how the Rover is gathering the sample and send it back to earth.

It was once again a great honor and an amazing experience to work with the various scientists and geologists from various fields.
