Howdy guys! Thanks for taking the time checking out my work. It means a lot. :)<br />
<br />
As a child, I was fascinated my astronaunts and their journeys to outer space adventures. Of course, the tragedy of the Columbia crashing was enough to propel to draw this picture. This picture was based on a photo in a newspaper. Chances are, you've seen it. Anyway, because I'm not so keen in copying images I decided to make my image comic-style. And yep, I did this freehanded. No tracing involved. This is a picture drawn with pen and lots of heart.<br />
<br />
I dedicate this image to all the astronaunts that have died trying to better humanity by exploring new boundaries and discoveries. And to those dedicated in the NASA business. May you guys continue discovering new things about our favorite blue planet and the galaxies beyond. This is for you guys!

RatHey there! Thanks so much for commenting folks! Sorry for not replying sooner but to address the questions:

When I scanned this penned image, I scanned it at a low resolution and as a b/w image. This was during the time i had no idea how to get rid of the annoying jagged lines. :p So, the lines look a bit pixelated because of that. Hopefully, I'll find that pic and rescan it at a higher resolution to get that smoot line. Also, i forgot to mention an important thing, the text WAS used with Paintshop Pro. But other than that, this was drawn. Sorry for the confusion. ;)
