I think that came out fine merrak! I am not too bothered about the "stiffness" of the characters; as you say it's hard to be articulate in a space suit. If anything you might want to consider making the space suites even more bulky; this might be an idea also in rder to show off the harsh environment (I assume you are aiming for contrasts with this image and what is coming in future installments, is the planet about to the terraformed as well?).
One thing I'm wondering about is the nature of the ground. The colour and structure gives me the feeling of green grass - is this correct? Assuming green grass is green due to chlorophyl, I assume the atmosphere has some wrong mixture of oxygen (or contains some other, poisonous, gas)?
Anyway, an image that suggests a story - very good!

Thanks! Adding some bulk sounds like a good idea to me. You're correct, it is meant to be a harsh environment. Although, to be honest, the makeup of the atmosphere is something I hadn't even considered. Originally this was planned to be a standalone piece, with no characters visible at all.
Perhaps a bit more planning is in order, and I like your suggestion about the oxygen makeup. That provides some opportunities for a few interesting alien lifeforms
