Unsteady metronome (he’ll be ok)

An illustration of Grace and Rocky from Project Hail Mary. I imagined this takes place sometime during their trip to Erid, when Grace’s food was scarce. Grace lies curled up on the floor with Rocky sitting beside him, watching him sleep and making soothing sounds while listening to Grace’s heartbeat. A bit above them, there are yellow music notes written over a red scribbly heartbeat graph. The background is black, contrasting with the warm lighting. The style itself is painterly and textured.
