Another look at my security Kiosk project another goal at the time was to to show off a space with different moods by playing with lighting that was very new to me at the time. Still not grate with lights but was worth the attempt

Fifteen Years

xkcd.com/3172/
Comic. Panels up to the 10-year point are grayed out. New panels since the Ten Years comic, which chronicles the first ten years of PERSON 1's journey with cancer: (1) [two people in bed] PERSON 1 (woman): One more chapter? PERSON 2 (man): Don’t we both have to get up early? PERSON 1: Nnnnnggggh PERSON 2: Sure, good point. (2) [many people wearing masks, walking while looking at graphs on their phones] (3) [birds landing on people] PERSON 2 in beanie and scarf: Hah! They like *my* seeds best. PERSON 1 in scarf holding phone with a bird sitting on it: Wait, how do I take a picture of this one? (4) [two people rowing boats with tree landscape] (5) [Person 1 carries overflowing stack of things to Person 2 in bed] PERSON 1: I brought you honey lemon tea, more pillows, a cinnamon roll, Tylenol, another blanket, a– PERSON 2: It was just Appendicitis, I’m really– PERSON 1: *It is my turn to take care of you and I am going to do it right!* (6) [Two people in car] (7) [still in car) PERSON 1: Oh my god. PERSON 2: Oh my god. (8) [car driving] PERSON 1: Pull over! PERSON 2: I am! (9) [both people get out of car] (10) [Large colored panel of aurora borealis over water with both people looking on] (11) [Person 1 sits against tree while Person 2 lies on the ground] PERSON 1: Fifteen years. No sign of the cancer. (12) I *am* having some weird symptoms. Joint pain. Fatigue. I think I’m losing my close-up vision. PERSON 2: Yeah. Me too. (13) PERSON 2: I think we’re getting old. (14) PERSON 1: I guess that’s okay. PERSON 2: It’s all I wanted.

A small meeting doodle with some hints of #Pioneerspacesim
A black and white digital fineliner style sketch of a tall house in among some flat hills on a field, with some large rocks. The rocks and the house has some thin flags blown by the wind. The house has two floors and a pitched roof, and a large three-tubed chimney puffing a thin line of smoke. A bit further over the house, half-obscured by the hills, a Mola Mola spaceship is sitting on the field, and there are some tiny bits of sci-fi details around, like an antenna or a round tank nestled next to the house.

'Been playing with some Natrix ship interiors, and it is a quite interesting to figure out a layout for a ship that spends most of its time under thrust gravity (tower layout), but is supposed to belly land as well.
#pioneerspacesim #spaceship #sci-fi
A mostly gray viewport render of the interior of a sci-fi spaceship. A courier type called Natrix. The layout shows some blue walls and other colored components. The ship has a tower layout, due to thrust gravity under acceleration, so there are some steep ladder-stairs for the five levels. A closeup of the cockpit and the three narrow levels underneath it, showing some ladderway and a hallway with doors, turned vertical. The cockpit has three seats, where you'd be laying on your back, and there are some black people for scale reference

you can keep windows 10 with security updates for at least another year so you don't have to deal with all the AI shit in windows 11 www.engadget.com/computing/wi...
Windows 10 support has ended, but here's how to get an extra year for free
Thanks to Extended Security Updates, you don't have to make the switch to Windows 11 just yet.

Panel 1: Shen is leaning out of the panel, bending and expanding it as he does so. He grasps the edge of the panel with his left hand and points at you with his right. He looks angry and is yelling "I TOLD YOU NOT TO GO TO MY PATREON ... BUT YOU DID IT ANYWAY!! SO, YOU WANNA GO???" The background is red. Panel 2: Shen is grasping a metal staff with both hands and seemingly about to drive it into the ground below him. He says "VERY WELL THEN". The background is orange now, having calmed down from the red. Panel 3: Shen drives the metal staff, revealed to be a flagpole with a flag on it, into the top of a large staircase with the full force of his body. Sparks and bits of rock fly everywhere. The stairs read, in ascending order on the side of each step, "1000", "2000", "3000", and "4000". Panel 4: The flag billows in the wind as tiny bits of rock and dust fly by. It is a white flag with the words: "I finish Public U. Art Club Season 2" Panel 5: Shen is facing you with his head visible through a white circle outline, with a little over half of its perimeter filled with green. He has a serious and determined expression. He says "If the Patreon hits $4000, I will finish S2 of Public U. Art Club. We are already over halfway there." Panel 6: We zoom out on Shen at the top of the staircase, holding that flag billowing in the wind, as his hair and the hood strands of his hoodie do the same. He is mostly cloaked in shadow, being silhouetted against a bright yellow-and-white gradated background. His mouth and eyes are still visible, as they are pure white. He says "are you up for it?" At the bottom of the panel is written "PATREON.COM/SHENCOMIX"

Another reminder that I am open for general 3D commissions, and am mostly proficient at stylized lowpoly hardsurface design. I'll get a proper sheet for that together at some point.

I just haven't been advertising because until recently my queue has consistently stretched into the horizon.

Needed distraction from some heavy stuff, and mocking up a new space station screen mockups for Pioneer Space Simulator felt like the thing to work on. Still rough and clunkily put together, but starts to shape up.
#pioneerspacesim #gameUI
User interface mockup for the space game Pioneer. Showing the space station interface, where the player can do things like go to the market, buy ship, etc. This is the main lobby screen, with station servuces, an overview of ship status and a refueling interface. Also shows an external view of the ring station. An addendum to the previous screen, showing a calendar and mission deadline listing popover on the left.

As well as these projects, I work on stuff for other people. The latest being a system agnostic ttrpg sci-fi toolkit called 'An Infinity of Ships'. The project raised over $100k on Kickstarter, and you can pre-order it over on Backerkit.

I've drawn over 80 illustrations of spaceships for it.

Hey folks. Here's one of the animations I did showing an O'Neill Colony - basically a hollowed out cylinder in space. This one is 35km long and 9km across and spins once per minute (if I remember) to provide 1g gravity.

Please repost! Spread the love!

Animation is a caricature of life, not a lesser imitation of it. Remaking cartoons in live-action, or giving the characters realistic proportions, hairs, warts, etc., robs them of the stylized exaggeration that made them appealing in the first place.
