So in these last few days I've been working on bringing more details to my plot, but I'm feeling a lack of inspiration at the moment. I mean, I have the basic plot down, but when it comes to details I haven't made great progress yet.
I have decided that the main character's name will be Terry, which comes from Terra which means Earth. He is either studying to be a physicist, astronomer, or geologist - though no matter whichever career path I pick for him, other major characters can fill up the other "spots".
Terry doesn't have a last name, or a face, or a backstory yet. As for the planet Tempus however, I figure I'd just re-write history (in this alternative universe of course) to account for an extra planet between the Earth and Mars - e.g. NASA sends probes and rovers to Tempus instead of Mars in the 1990's and 2000's. The first humans arrive on Tempus in 2029, and the plot of Tempus takes place in 2031.
I like the history re-write!

Have you considered what your options are when you hit a road block? Consider breaking from your immediate focus/plan and do a little research...learn a drawing technique...read a graphic novel for inspiration--discuss what you like about its design...just look in a new direction and you might find something strikes you.
