For day 8 of #ArtAdventCalendar, I present this animation I did about three years ago, showing a flight through a type of space colony called a Stanford Torus. #SciArt created in #Blender

#ArtAdventCalendar #SciArt Artwork of the gas-giant exoplanet HD209458b, also known as Osiris. It orbits its star in just 3.5 days at only 1/8 of the Mercury-Sun distance, and is gradually being evaporated away. The system lies 159 light-years away in the constellation Pegasus.

#ArtAdventCalendar #SciArt Proxima is the nearest star to the Sun. It is a red dwarf, 1/5 the size of our Sun and 20,000 times dimmer. Here we see it seen from the surface of one of its planets. To the left one can also make out Alpha Centauri, which is a binary star with two Sun-like components.

#ArtAdventCalendar #SciArt #blender Another Martian dawn/dusk scene. Same blue sunset, but with Perseverance taking some of the glory. Repost if you like this. Thank you.

Post-Thanksgiving slow days are great for catching up on a Civ ga- AND I TOLD YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM MY CITY STATES.

The Grumps Halloween episode was very drawable, so here's a doodle of a Tintin side character, The Wizard™, and the Ninja family. #TheGrumps

Aria

Ringworld WIP. Needs developing in #Blender. This is just a sketch done in #Photoshop. Will create an animation at some point. Please repost! #scifi #b3d

Made a couple more renders of my Federation Scout model from FTL and added it to my portfolio: www.artstation.com/artwork/lGeEga #FTL #FasterThanLight #fanart #Blender #ClipStudioPaint

Illustrations done for press releases over the years. Sadly I get these commissions less and less often as AI takes over the world. I worry about my future in this industry. 😟 #SciArt #blender

Can this get a little more exposure, please peeps? #blender #scicomm #scifi

Also went and made a Kestrel in No Man's Sky while I was at it. #NMS #NoMansSky #FTL

Finalized my Kestrel 3D model and uploaded to ArtStation with extra views rendered: www.artstation.com/artwork/Jr0lVv #FTL #FasterThanLight #fanart #Blender #ClipStudioPaint

So a new Fire Emblem set in the Three Houses setting in what I presume is the distant past? I look forward to it. That ancient high-tech background was part of the inspiration for my take on Edelgard's armor and weapon a coupe years ago. #FireEmblem #FE3H #fanart

I like No Man's Sky, and the corvettes were added while I was already on an FTL kick. So I prototyped a Federation Cruiser in creative mode. Good times, and I hope more parts get added. =) #NMS #NoMansSky #FTL

Next FTL: Faster than Light ship I've done a take on: the Federation Scout. This model isn't as detailed as the hero ship, but I still wanted to give it its own scene. Here a trio of scouts chase Rebel drones out of an asteroid field to protect a hidden base. #ftl #blender #clipstudio #scifi #fanart

Some #spaceart I've done over the years. Please repost for me. #SciArt

NEW: The White House wants to kill off Juno, NASA's mission to uncover Jupiter's secrets. Fortunately, its legacy is clear. Juno's a scientist, but also an artist: it revealed Jupiter as a living van Gogh painting hanging in the sky. Me @sciam.bsky.social www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-...

Been getting back into Blender, and here's one result: my take on the Kestrel from the 2012 game FTL: Faster than Light. The Kestrel is the only 3D element, everything else is painted in CSP. The Rebel ships are edited sprites from the game. #ftl #blender #clipstudio #scifi #fanart

Black holes suck! Please repost! #SciArt #spaceart

A recent favorite, Yachiyo, a robot running a hotel for hundreds of years after humans have left Earth.

Illustration based from a few years ago based on Kelt-9b, a gas giant orbiting so close to its star the atmosphere is stripped away by solar winds. Featured in "Envisioning Exoplanets" by Michael Carroll. #spaceart www.artstation.com/artwork/0X2Nl4

Something a bit different from my other space art, a scene with aliens in a market place looking at a communal news display of potentially habitable planets found by a new array of telescopes launched around their home star system. #spaceart #noai www.artstation.com/artwork/BXZyw9

Fan art from 2022: The Magnificent Kotobuki is pretty much an airplane western with a dash of sci-fi, so it's as good a reason as any to paint airplanes and wormholes all in one. ✈️ And wormholes are just as bending to the mind to draw as they are to light. Oo

#spaceart from last year, a study into what Jupiter's Great Red Spot might look like from a view just outside of it. Here we're in a trough between where it rises above lower cloud decks and the adjacent storm bands. www.artstation.com/artwork/w02aOO

Some of my most recent #spaceart. NOT AI. Please repost. No new followers in ages. ☹️ #sciart #scicom #astronomy

Eh, let's post some old #GameGrumps as various creatures.

"Staring at the Sun", a painting I did a while back of a trio of tidally locked worlds around a red dwarf star. Also included is early study based on simulations done at KU Leuven in 2015.

Still settling in, seeing what I think of social media in general, but more importantly I've had the red planet on the mind. So here's some retouched fan art from Aria, an anime set on a very successfully terraformed Aqua, née Mars. #ARIAカンパニー

Testing the waters, so how about some fan art? Lunar Impact - Sailor Moon, Clip Studio Paint, 2024 www.artstation.com/artwork/041aBK #sailormoon #fanart

Alrighty, first post while I take a look around... How about the Galilean Hiking series, showing a pair of astronauts exploring the major moons of Jupiter?
