Departure from a space station in orbit around Jupiter. Station has rotational gravity and a well-reinforced observation deck. Drive plume is high ISP, hence the drive plume retains brightness for a long distance ("the distance of glowiness is large").

This took forever to sketch out, and I'm still not fully satisfied with the lines (I freehanded everything except Jupiter, which was a coffee mug). Coloring went pretty well. I was planning on layering a dark coat over the blue color to get a metallic color with just a hint of blue in it, but I realized that the blue contrasted nicely with Jupiter and was more expressive this way.
