Fanart by me of @cryptovexillologist 's excellent scifi serial "Mission Critical": a political cartoon criticizing the Earth Restoration Agency's plans to colonize the habitable exoplanet Malang.

Making terrain progress for this city illustration. But I have no real idea how to get color or shading in #blender, especially if the setting sun's light will be coming from down-valley, to the bottom-right of this image.

This is the in-progress physical model of the convention center, which I'll use as an art reference for the three-ish outside shots of the convention center.

Conversations in the #Radchdome today led me to contemplate a Looney Tunes/Dune crossover.

Here's a ~150-word opening scene I wrote: https://archiveofourown.org/works/24373534

And here's my photo edit of Yosemite Sam in Sting's codpiece:

Man, that #Lego part #27168 is hard to get, but wonderfully useful for building certain types of sets. https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=27168#T=C&C=85

Like, I have the map image, distorted to EPSG:102009, the North American Lambert Conformal Conic projection. And I have a script that should be breaking that image into tiles. But either the tiles or the map are borked, and I'm leaning towards it being the tiles.

Three knives out
Three knives out
See how they stab
See how they stab
They all took after the author's life
Who cut off their dole, independent life!
Did you ever will such an end to a life
As three knives out?

The latest page of KILL SIX BILLION DEMONS has a pair of great object-heads: Glass Ball and Old TV. https://killsixbilliondemons.com/comic/king-of-swords-9-104/

Dammit, I don't need another writing project. Especially not a crossover between End of Evangelion and Poul Anderson's Long Night timeline. But here it is, website template and all.

Oh. So that's where Romanova is in #TerraIgnota.

Tripoli.

Map editing question: Is there a tool that will let me draw lines across multiple separate images, as seen in this screenshot? The images are separate tiles of a #leaflet.js #map, and I'd like continuity of linework between them without having to count pixels. Preferably without having to manually place images. #DND #worldbuilding

Here's two takes on Bright Noa catching up with his son, who he hasn't seen in a few months. In the film, their meeting is pretty much all business, about where Noa's wife and daughter are. In the manga, the beard provides some lightness to a depressing scene. #Gundam

This little fellow is on his way to #goblinweek! A festive #goblinweek2019 to you all!

This #Lego instruction image is honestly the image macro I've seen for telling someone to go do a highly risky job, particularly as pertains to giant robots.

Hmm, looks like "sensitive content" just blacks it out, not collapses it.

Another #inktober drawing in the DND campaign, this time as a flying fireball chest.

Dang, he did Gurren Lagann and Diebuster as well. No wonder the FranXX mechs feel similar to Quatre-Vingt-Dix.

The caption from http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20100414 seemed like it should be pasted onto http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20100416 for effect, and, well, it works. #girlgenius
