Nah, I am tired and watching my primary (Animation) industry burn to the ground.

I saw the sentiment and thought “yeah, we need more of that”.

And yeah…

Still and all…

FUCK A.I.

Well, shit, I may have missed that, because fuck AI art all day long.

But the sentiment stands.

Support local art folk.

You ever draw something and it just makes you stoked?

Feeling that right now.

Portfolio #Flashback:
Developing The #Antimonitor for #GLTAS
As a kid, I really dug all the multiverse shaking drama of The Crisis On Infinite Earths quite a lot. I was then super stoked when I got to do the redesign for the cosmic villain. #thomasperkins #characterdesigner #greenlantern

I am not certain I understand your question.

Are you asking if the Giant insectoid Galactus type entity from space is not from Space?

I am confused.

It IS a Giant insectoid Galactus type entity from Space… BUT… it could ALSO be a mutant from Space.

Seems pretty straight forward. 🤘

While I wish I could, I don’t see what I could do. I hope it goes well and folks have a blast.
