Day 21 of #ArtAdventCallendar.

Here's an animation of an orbital ring. It surrounds the Earth in a continuous loop and could serve as a platform to launch vehicles from low-Earth orbit.

Read alt-text for more details.

Made with #Blender

Gosh, I haven't done any new #paleoart in a very long time. So here's a scene I just finished, which I'm quite happy with. I modelled everything except the tress (in #Blender), then embellished it in Photoshop.

Please SHARE!

#sciart
A startled tyrannosaur surveys a desolate landscape, depicting a scene at the end of the Cretaceous period in Earth's history. A massive meteorite has impacted the Earth, causing catastrophic destruction on a global scale. Volcanic eruptions are just one example of the after-effects of the impact. They release poisonous gases that lace the atmosphere with toxins, suffocating wildlife. And wildfires, like those illustrated here, would have swept across the globe, prompted by infalling debris heating the atmosphere. It was probably the worse day in Earth's recorded history, although not the most devastating mass extinction.

I love your renders. They look real. Are you a member of the IAAA? (www.iaaa.org)

Part of my orbital ring animation sequence. Imagine being able to walk with almost your entire normal weight... 100 km above the Earth.

Always looking for new work. Give me a shout if I can be of help. Thanks.

The British Museum posted Al slop and quietly deleted it. Here's what it was and why it matters.

Thanks. I very rarely need to bake textures though.

Latest #spaceart done in #Blender. A depiction of the dwarf planet and trans-Neptunian object Quaoar, as seen from the surface of its moon Weywot. Quaoar is ellipsoidal in shape and has two narrow rings around it, although they may not be visible at this resolution.

Artwork of a rocky/icy landscape. In the sky is a half-illuminated dwarf planet called Quaoar, slightly ellipsoidal in shape.

How freakin' incredible is this?! No AI used, just a genuine artist creating insane work!🤯🤩

Stylised and far-fetched animation of an orbital ring around the Earth. Such structures, if we ever build them, will in reality be invisible from such a distance.
