“Abolish ICE” is literally the MODERATE position in America today. Not even the position Schumer’s constituents are demanding. The MODERATE position is “abolish.”
Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”

Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.

So pathetic and weak.

Two sources who were on a Democratic caucus strategy call Sunday said Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told the group the message must be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”

People keep saying the codenames in Metal Gear Solid sound like Megaman X bosses, so I decided to give them actual designs. Matches the scale of my other X mockups.

Something I've been sitting on for several years that I finally decided to wrap up tonight.

Heres a peek at what our levels look like early in the design process. Working out scale, metrics and what feels 'right', we can get a sense of all those things using very basic geo.

Its also very quick and easy to make changes, then play again. Iteration is key!

Beta Starship Spotlight
Puffin- and Penguin-Class Starfighters

The 23rd-century carriers and fighters exhibit at the Starfleet Museum feature two main variants: the older, fusion-powered Puffins and the newer antimatter-powered Penguins.

The museum has extensive text on their development and use.

A 3d model I made based on concept art by Jeff Zugale.

Enjoy.

Alrighty - my final update on this shot for now! Tons of revisions and fixes, as well as new Music SFX and VO. Added the welders welding, a few more work bees, the Arges in the background, and some changes to the lighting angle.
4K in the 🧵!
I hope everyone likes it!

Still playing around with Blender 5.0 but I did several tweaks to my post-processing pipeline, and I decided to re-render images in 1440p instead of 1080.

This'll obviously take a while as I have nearly 500 renders to do... I'm sure there's an option to […]

AI-gen EarthSiege 1 new HERCs... and an animation. God, AI is just not art directable or really all that great for finished stuff. As a dumb toy, sure, it's great - but it should cost 4x as much to do this nonsense.

I had fun putting together a little homage to Doom, as if I were kitbashing a game mod from scraps of 90s FPS classics like Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, Heretic, and Blood. As for the scorpion elements, it's an addition on my part.

Throw in comprehensive transgender rights, strong executive & judicial oversight, truth & reconciliation processes, & meaningful "AI" regulation driven by people whose paychecks *don't* depend on the populace believing in &constantly choking down the product in question, & you have my issues on lock
I think the last 24 hours in VA are a stronger indication of what the Democratic Party platform will be in 2026 and going forward than the feeble quaverings of Chuck Schumer.
The Virginia legislature today passed four constitutional amendments, all by day 3 of 2026 session:

—protect abortion rights
—repeal the same-sex marriage ban
—allow mid-decade redistricting
—greatly expand voting rights restoration.

These will all go to 2026 referendums.

I have the utmost respect for Senator Kaine and Senator Warner but we do not need “coaching” on redistricting coming from a cuck chair in the corner. How about you all stay focused on the fascist in the White House and let us handle redistricting in Virginia. 10-1

As some of you may know, I'll be lettering @skottieyoung and @jorge_cor's new LOBO series for DC. I've been coming up with some raw SFX alphabets that I think will complement Jorge's art nicely. I hand lettered 6 sheets of oil pastels on bristol, scanned and vectorized.

It's #portfolioday! I am a 3D artist mainly in games with a bunch of current work NDAd, but in my spare time I also do a lot of sci-fi game art and animation, and a bit of creature and paleoart sprinkled in. Here are some of my realtime ready works in varying degrees of lowpoly:

A few years ago a build of the cancelled game StarCraft Ghost leaked, a gold mine for fans. But that was the version that Blizzard axed and rebooted with a new dev team. The new one had more Halo/Battlefield influence, with vehicles and multiplayer. Here's some screenshots of driving/piloting in it:

Hey, #portfolioday,
I'm Tekkno, and I do 3d Blender work like below on commission (or as strikes my fancy!). Star Trek environments are my go-to, but I've done some other work as well.
