I promised elsewhere I'd try an image with a small subject instead of filling the frame with moy model. This is the result!

Processing Astro data is like artwork… eventually you develop your own personal style… Mine is a bit like being punched the face by a rainbow. 😂 😂 look, Life can be incredibly stressful at times so it’s nice to have a pop of colour to bring a bit of joy to life.

Chris has a lovely private commissions page where youll see a few images you havent seen before . linki here www.chriswestonart.com/private-comm...

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com p.s. My new book of science cartoons 'Physics for Cats' is out this week. Details at www.tomgauld.com

Two old "Vue" renders of mine. The software was a mix of the brilliant and the infuriating, but it was REALLY good at atmospheric effects and lighting.

Just looking at work from superstar @westonfront.bsky.social and found this fun Rogue one!

Today’s prompt in @spacetober_challenge is Constellation. Here’s my digital take on the constellation of Leo - for no other reason than I love cats of all sizes. From my Circles Portfolio. #spacetober

I've had a couple of test prints done on heavy PVC, 1.4m x 1m Colours are slightly washed out compared to what I expected, but not much. Note the mug for scale!

I really don't understand why AI is so awful at text. All 3 versions are awful! Even when it's really clear, as in this case. I would have guessed it was a well defined small problem!

Corrected version of N1 Block A parts and engine numbering. Thanks to @techspatiales.bsky.social for the correction.

Your aperiodic reminder that this is the true scale of Saturn's moon Enceladus and the biggest volcano in the Solar System, Olympus Mons on Mars.

Bluesky vs X… So I shared the same post on my X account and even though I have 194k followers I had less intersection than here with only 5k followers. Trying to share the beauty of the cosmos in a perpetual dumpster fire environment is tough! Thanks to all at bluesky, you guys rock x

New blog post: yes, I'm still ranting about this. thelightdreams.wordpress.com/2025/10/05/a...

Hitem3d This model of Thunderbird 2 shows the problems it has with objects. Text is mangled up horribly. Straight sharp edges get wobbles and bumps Regular repeated elements get randomised. Not usable, except maybe in the background. But who wants a million polygon background element?

I don't know if it's in there, but 'Babylon 5 at 20' is one of the best behind the scenes books I own, period.

I'm experimenting with 3d models generated online with Hitem3d. I'm not that impressed with objects, but if you feed in a good portrait photo, the results are not bad. Here's an example of astronaut John Young. It's clearly recognisable, though unsurprisingly areas at the side and back are rough.

Fantastic work. Too expensive for me, but it's the last opportunity to get all these awesome books and resources on the making of Babylon 5 ⏰

Privacy on the modern internet.

68 years ago #OTD, Sputnik 1 (PS-1), the world’s first artificial satellite, was launched from Tyuratam (now the Baikonur Cosmodrome) aboard a two-stage rocket, a variant of the R-7 intercontinental ballistic missile. Painting by Andrei Sokolov. beyondearthsky.blogspot.com/2025/09/sput...

PART ONE Twenty years ago, publishing entrepreneur Jaclyn Easton came to me with a risky but innovative idea: b5books.com, a publishing entity built around one show, Babylon 5, its participants and fans. This wouldn’t be what was usually done, aftermarket making-of books --

It's International #ObserveTheMoon Night! 🌙 The Moon is dazzlingly bright — so bright that NSF-DOE Rubin Observatory will never point at it. But there are many Solar System objects that are incredibly faint, and that’s where Rubin shines.🔭🧪

For those who missed it at the various comics sites, here's a four-page preview (from about the one-third mark) of my first issue of THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: TORN. Art by Pere Pérez. Hitting shelves next Wednesday.

The best local analysis of the recent elections you're going to find.

A few hours ago, Comet 3I/ATLAS passed about 28 million km from Mars. This was the best opportunity we'll have to image the interstellar visitor from spacecraft. When those data are available, I'll share them!

Today’s prompt is Moon. This is from my Vintage Portfolio and shows a Bonestell-type of rocket, with astronauts, on a lunar landscape. The landscape is based on an Apollo 15 photograph. Painted in acrylic on stretched canvas. #Spacetober #Moon #art #Sciart

Happy Sputnik Day. Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite was launched into Earth's orbit on October 4, 1957 and marked the beginning of the Space Age. The name "Sputnik" also refers to the carrier rocket used for the launch, a Russian-language term for "fellow traveler”.

'Squid Game' A star trail image made with a time-lapse image sequence photographed by Kimiya Yui from ISS. Each image was restored, remastered then retimed using frame interpolation for a short film. These new frames allowed for a simulated long exposure photograph.

Today's #Spacetober prompt is Moon, so here is the Moon! Digital #Art created in #Blender3d. #spaceart #SciArt

I can't find an announcement about this specifically, but the Affinity Creative Suite, iPad versions, is currently show as free in the app store. I use the desktop versions a LOT, and like it as a cheap, not-rented Adobe alternative. Grab them now, in case this is temporary.

Magnifique image de la petite lune Déimos avant l'aube martienne, capturée par le rover Perseverance. Le soleil était 13° sous l'horizon et nous aurions vu un paysage très sombre faiblement éclairé par Déimos. Un superbe travail de traitement d'images par Simeon Schmauß.

The never ending pursuit of that classic sci-fi aesthetic 😀 #Lightwave3D #ScifiArt
