Post-Thanksgiving slow days are great for catching up on a Civ ga- AND I TOLD YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM MY CITY STATES.
A Civ 6 screenshot in which my British death robot stares down a foolish pike-and-shot that decided to mess with my papal pal.

The Grumps Halloween episode was very drawable, so here's a doodle of a Tintin side character, The Wizard™, and the Ninja family. #TheGrumps
Arin, Danny, Ninja Brian and Daughter, and an assortment of not-brand candy, like Two!! Whole Ones, Big 'Ol Chad Chewing Gum, and Jolly! Ranch!. Stegosaurus and Dimetrodon are also in there. Just about in time for Thanksgiving!

Or to put it in meme speak:
That meme of an anime man asking if a butterfly is a pigeon, but now he's labeled "AI" and asking if the butterfly with some squiggly lines around if it a black hole.

Also went and made a Kestrel in No Man's Sky while I was at it.

I was trying to remember the first US-built fighter plane the other day and got this gem. Then I tried to be more specific and if anything it got worse.

I like No Man's Sky, and the corvettes were added while I was already on an FTL kick. So I prototyped a Federation Cruiser in creative mode. Good times, and I hope more parts get added. =)

An Osprey from FTL seen in No Man's Sky from a rear 1/4-ish view. A green nebula is in the background. The Osprey seen from the side, flying through a blue sky with white clouds below. The Osprey seen from directly above, similar to the FTL UI. An icy blue planet's surface is seen far below. Side view of the Osprey, flying right to left. The cockpit is raised two desks above the main hull, while the engines are diagonally below to the sides. The bow ends in a heavy weapons module with a turret and other modules visible.

Also influenced No Man's Sky, it seems. Noticed these first on my corvette, and am seeing them in earlier locations now that I'm looking more.
That, or my ship does indeed dispense Purina cat chow.

Next FTL: Faster than Light ship I've done a take on: the Federation Scout. This model isn't as detailed as the hero ship, but I still wanted to give it its own scene. Here a trio of scouts chase Rebel drones out of an asteroid field to protect a hidden base.
#ftl #blender #clipstudio #scifi #fanart
A trio of Federation Scouts from the game FTL: Faster Than Light zip through an asteroid field, the foreground ship shooting ahead to a target off screen. In the background, a damaged Rebel drone crashes into an asteroid, breaking apart as blue sparks arc on its hull. In the distant background the rest of the asteroid ring and purple/pink nebulae are visible. Top material-preview of the Scout model. Side material-preview of the Scout. The original sprite, and sketches of my interpolation for the side and front views of the ship. I wanted it to have an interesting silhouette from those angles too, so I gave it down-swept wings and a hull that is lower in the front than back. When landed, the engine nacelles sit low on short landing gear while a longer leg extends from below the cockpit with a ladder for boarding. The final model also includes airlocks on each side of the forward hull.

Been getting back into Blender, and here's one result: my take on the Kestrel from the 2012 game FTL: Faster than Light.
The Kestrel is the only 3D element, everything else is painted in CSP. The Rebel ships are edited sprites from the game.
#ftl #blender #clipstudio #scifi #fanart
A Kestrel from FTL shoots down a Rebel ship with its Burst Lasers, leaving a Star Wars-like explosion. In the background, three more Rebel Rigger ships give chase, shooting lasers past the Kestrel, one grazing the hero ship's port engine pylon. A dim, blue nebula and stars are in the distance, motion blurred as though the camera is following the Kestrel. ___ The idea of presenting the Kestrel like this was largely inspired by EC Henry's videos on YouTube, as I really like the clips and illustrations on his channel. Top-down isometric view of my Kestrel model. I wanted to keep is as close to the original as I could in terms of detail locations and silhouette, while adding a couple of touches from earlier concept art from the game. The ship's paint job is worn down like it has already seen action, revealing the metal hull plating underneath the off-white and orange paint job. Side view of the Kestrel. The cockpit sits a bit lower than the aft section of the ship, and the neck connecting it curves upwards underneath. I wanted to give it an interesting silhouette from the side and not wind up with what might as well be the game sprite extruded down and left that way, flying around in much the same way bricks don't. I also made a couple of roundels on the aft and side of the cockpit to represent the Federation. The original Kestrel sprite from the game.

Hm. If it's too scale, it'd also be too big for Hellas, I think...

A recent favorite, Yachiyo, a robot running a hotel for hundreds of years after humans have left Earth.
A robot modeled after a young woman in a concierge outfit looks at the stars, waiting for a signal from long-gone humans.

Illustration based from a few years ago based on Kelt-9b, a gas giant orbiting so close to its star the atmosphere is stripped away by solar winds. Featured in "Envisioning Exoplanets" by Michael Carroll. #spaceart

www.artstation.com/artwork/0X2Nl4
In the foreground, bottom, is the rocky horizon of an airless asteroid, blocking out the brightest parts of a blue giant star. Beyond, the star's corona arcs up to frame the gas giant 9b, glowing from the heat like a metal droplet. Its superheated atmosphere steams away from the star like a comet, an ionized tail streaming directly away from the star and a dust and gas trail arcing away due to the planet's orbit. Far from the lights, a smattering of distant stars shine.

Something a bit different from my other space art, a scene with aliens in a market place looking at a communal news display of potentially habitable planets found by a new array of telescopes launched around their home star system.

Shaggy-looking beings mill about in a market in the early morning. Three are walking past in the shade, one of them smoking a pipe as wind chimes dangle from an awning. ___ In the background, one being looks over a series of CRT-like, circular monitors built into a sandstone wall and above a display of textiles. ___ The small monitors highlight, ordered from top-to-bottom, left-to-right by astronomers' interest: A planet with a possible artificial ring; a gas giant with two moons and a probable fusion rocket plume; a coronagraph of a star, revealing its streamers and a surrounding formation of points sharing an orbit and spaced equally apart from each other; twin planets with purple seas and bright green landmasses; a green planet with natural rings; a blue, watery moon over a brown dwarf's horizon; a bright, yellowish planet overexposed in the view; a similarly sized planet with blue oceans, continents of greens and tans, and white clouds outshining its only moon; and a smaller reddish planet. ___ The large monitor to the right shows diagrams and alien text highlighting the coronagraphed system; the system with the rocket plume in which the closest planet is marked as being stripped away by the local primary; a binary star system, home to the brown dwarf and watery moon; and a diagram the last three candidates' system with seven discovered planets and a few moons marked, though gravitational effects suggest a small, dense inner planet yet to be visually confirmed.

Fan art from 2022: The Magnificent Kotobuki is pretty much an airplane western with a dash of sci-fi, so it's as good a reason as any to paint airplanes and wormholes all in one. ✈️

And wormholes are just as bending to the mind to draw as they are to light. Oo

#spaceart from last year, a study into what Jupiter's Great Red Spot might look like from a view just outside of it. Here we're in a trough between where it rises above lower cloud decks and the adjacent storm bands.

www.artstation.com/artwork/w02aOO
A view from the west of the Great Red Spot looking east. The Spot rises about 8km above the surrounding cloud bands, and we are further below that, allowing the edges of the storm to rise from the haze like a mountain nearly 3 times higher than Kilimanjaro. A smaller high pressure system roils even further down, a tiny anticyclone being eaten by its Earth-wide counterpart. Green-tinted lightning flashes within it. To the left, the underside of adjacent cloud bands can be seen, while above the high pressure system, another cloud deck of scattered white clouds and thunderheads drifts along. Io and Europa are visible beyond the horizon.

"Staring at the Sun", a painting I did a while back of a trio of tidally locked worlds around a red dwarf star. Also included is early study based on simulations done at KU Leuven in 2015.
Three tidally-locked planets orbiting a red dwarf star that is off-screen. The nearest has a temperate band of around its terminator, while the sunward side is scorched desert. The next furthest planet is mostly frozen with liquid water on its day side, while the furthest is entirely frozen over. Early version of the foreground planet, with reference images and simulations from KU Leuven.

Still settling in, seeing what I think of social media in general, but more importantly I've had the red planet on the mind. So here's some retouched fan art from Aria, an anime set on a very successfully terraformed Aqua, née Mars.

#ARIAカンパニー
Akari and President Aria are on a leisurely gondola ride through Neo-Venezia on a warm Aquan summer's evening. San Giorgio's church and the floating climate control island Ukijima light the horizon while a passenger shuttle soars under the moonlight of Phobos and Deimos

Alrighty, first post while I take a look around... How about the Galilean Hiking series, showing a pair of astronauts exploring the major moons of Jupiter?
