Since we're in September, and I don't have much time available this year, thought I'd repost the first two songs (2 posts per day) of the Chronicles of the Sillage here, so they're not only in The Other Place. There'll be some small edits and fixes, but for the most part it will be posted as-is.

To celebrate the 56th anniversary of the first Manned Lunar Landing, we're releasing our next animation : - The Lunar War - "Concordia" youtu.be/irkB-iMGsOQ

The Lunar War is more than just a depiction of conflict in space, but is also a vision of human expansion off Earth and past the Moon. Watch the latest amazing animation:

My current best guess at what the Milky Way looks like, based in large part on Gaia Data. See @esascience for more details! and @HdAstro for more Milky Way and other visualizations coming soon...

Oh my god the very first thoughtpiece video I did on Spacedock has hit a million views! The ISV Venture Star remains one of my absolute favourite ships in sci-fi and this video went over why, and I'm glad to see my passion about it is shared by so many! www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ov-...

Take a moment today and look and remember an incredibly influential artist and there art.

This is an important day in French politics. Let me know if it rings a bell. It's the story of a far-right party that said for decades the other parties are all rotten, and that more people should be prosecuted, harder. But they has embezzled millions of euros from taxpayers. And now that the...

I will never know when he gave me the shot, but I will always remember what he responded. "My work is to ensure people are healthy, but health without happiness isn't worth much. Playing games makes people happy, doesn't it? Why don't we collaborate? I'll keep people healthy, you keep them happy."

[FRENCH THREAD] Un principe moteur de la hard SF est de mettre le réalisme physique au service d'un récit, en faisant ainsi un élément narratif. C'est le cas de la dissipation thermique dans le vide, et de son corollaire : les radiateurs. (illustration par @beaconsinthedark.bsky.social)

The Type-711A Light Attack Craft designed by @l5resident.bsky.social and Tokydre for @thelunarwar.bsky.social setting. It's non-nuclear and lacks large lasers but it has more than enough missiles to be threatening. Top-notch HardSF work by @voubi.bsky.social www.artstation.com/artwork/6NL1w6

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all from the TLW Team ! 2025 will bring exciting new developments, and we can't wait to show them... Stay tuned very soon !

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose...

- The Golden Marbles - A million new stars between two worlds - The Cradle's lights, both old and new, ever growing, joined by the dawn of the Moon, and the silent dance of solar collectors.

I'm going to periodically throw these out there...they are primarily for my own organization, but maybe you all will appreciate these packs as well. #Scifi #conceptart #illustration go.bsky.app/ASKRTHX

- Blue Sky - For most spacecraft of the Lunar War, venturing below GEO is pretty much suicide. The rare units that still operate that low are easy prey for high altitude ASAT launches...

The Kickstarter for 'Other Worlds', my first ever book, is GO! Filled with art from Subnautica: Below Zero, the Birrin Saga, and decades of my illustration and concept art. I took no half-measures creating this book. The Kickstarter link is here! bit.ly/403C70b (MyArt)

- The Lunar War - Brainchild of L5Resident, TLW is a worldbuilding and art project dedicated to visualizing the near future expansion of humanity in space, its efforts to industrialize cislunar space, and the conflicts this new frontier leads to.

Hello Worlds ! Guess we're jumping ship to here, hope this place doesn't get bought by an evil billionaire...
