Lite Bites Review: Derek Paterson's "Mars," p. 2/4

Genejoke on Oct. 18, 2012

El Cid sez: The artwork in this and all of Dpat's works is very distinct. You'll probably either love it or hate it, but he at least deserves credit for creating a look all his own.

And speaking of blocky faces, isn't there a weird giant face carved into a mountain on the surface of Mars?

No. There isn't. That whole “Face on Mars” business was just a combination of shadows playing optical tricks on an otherwise not-so-remarkable hilltop, and crappy image quality. More recent imaging of the supposed “Face” in Mars' Cydonia region show that it's really just a random rock formation. So, sorry, no the Viking Mission did not discover the Martian Mt. Rushmore in 1976.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to my Google Earth surveillance of Area 51…

The originality of the artwork is one of the things that I like.

It's still kinda face-like

Kind of disappointing to learn the face on mars was just a random rock formation.

The Face on Mars has since become the Cydonia Pyramid Complex and Martian Amusement park according to Richard C. Hoagland and his crowd. It also features prominently (though not actually mentioned) in the movie John Carter of Mars.
