@tombzz Is there a particular style of music you find yourself gravitating to when you illustrate versus your photography lately? :bongoCat:

@tombzz That said, when you run the numbers on how many projected “what we would deem as habitable” planets are out there, even say 0.01% would still amount to a hefty number of lifeforms that could have followed a similar trajectory.

Perhaps not to the Star Trek degree, where they look human […]

@tombzz I’d reckon it is essentially a numbers game. Technically, the probability of extraterrestrial life resembling what we would classically consider hominid like would be extraordinarily low, just as it is on our own planet.

@tombzz I can’t speak for the others in Artist Alley, but I personally enjoyed it when attendees had questions.

Questions show curiosity and engagement. 😄
I consider it a good sign if a booth display/ artwork evokes an inquisitive reaction.

What concerts cha got lined up? :catjam:

@tombzz Fair enough ☺️
At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter what you use as long as it works for what you need. :blobcatcoffee:

Late #caturday edition to the Fediverse with my fur baby Brannagh. 🖤
Is it just me, or do the tufts of fur on her head look like tiny horns?

Slice of life away from my crypt - visiting the library.
I don't usually enjoy leaving my crypt for a prolonged period, but I can be bribed with books.
