Since today is Thanksgiving, I figured I should post this:

I don't have anything to say at the moment, other than I made a new engine model nearly 4 months after the last one. His name is William.

Here's Eris and Dysnomia, because I made some new textures for Eris last week, based off research suggesting that Eris might be a Sputnik world. (i.e. it has a surface of icy convection cells, akin to Sputnik Planitia on Pluto) I feel like I should render dwarf planets more often.

Two Jovian moons Io and Europa eclipses the sun darkening Jupiter's sky. Volcanic plumes and sulfur halo can be seen around Io and water ice jets are erupting from Europa's crust. Also Jupiter's rings, solar corona and zodiacal light also glows in this darkened sky #SciArt #spaceart #Jupiter

I've read about ZTF SLRN-2020 event where a star basically ate it's own planet. So I decided to try and depict this from a planet's perspective. It's atmosphere evaporating and getting ripped away by the star. #SciArt #spaceart #astronomy

Haven't really posted anything with my Roblox models recently, though it's mainly because of my other hobbies, and the fact I'm hoping to get a new PC soon, since Windows 10 support is ending this Tuesday. In the meantime, I figured I'd post a new screenshot anyways, as I think it's a bit overdue.

My new color photographic map of Pluto is now online. Full resolution image version (~322Mpix) is available on Flickr www.flickr.com/photos/10958... PDF version (~73MB) is available here: drive.google.com/file/d/1EW-x... 🧵 1/5

Ok so the power went out earlier this evening, promptly plunging our neighborhood into darkness, only for the power to return about 5 minutes later. I have no idea what the hell even just happened, or why it happened lmao.

I’m a firm believer that we need to return to the ice giants. Both planets have only been visited by one spacecraft in the 1980’s, and there’s still a whole slew of things we don’t know about these giant, icy, pale blue marbles, and their systems of rings and moons.

Don’t you hate it when college and life drag you away from your hobbies, and whenever they don’t, you sometimes lack the motivation to even work on anything, and end up just procrastinate for no reason? Yeah it’s annoying.

Today in 1979, Pioneer 11 passed Saturn, viewing the night side of the rings, giving humanity its first encounter with the planet and its moons. It would be followed by Voyager 1 in 1980 and Voyager 2 in 1981.

Saturn from Pioneer 11 as it approached on September 1, 1979, looking at the backlit side of the rings. While this wasn't an ideal angle for humanity's first Saturn flyby, Saturn was not a part of the mission at launch, and this was the only trajectory available using a gravity assist at Jupiter.

Giant planets orbiting red dwarfs are uncommon, as are hot Neptunes ("Neptunian desert"), as are exoplanets in polar orbits. On this painting, the host star "observes" its strange planet through a massive polar dark spot. [1/9] of the "art research" thread on TOI-3884 and "red" dwarfs in general.

It's been a while since I did a prehistoric Earth render hasn't it? It came to my attention earlier that my Cryogenian Earth uses outdated models of Earth's landmasses, so I plan to revamp it, as well as some other prehistoric Earths I've yet to show here. In the meantime, here's Cambrian Earth:

A rotation movie of Jupiter created using a global map of Jupiter I recently finished. The map is created from 135 Voyager 2 images from June 28, 1979. Two rotations are shown. In rotation 1, approx true color/contrast are used. Rotation 2 has exaggerated colors/contrast. vimeo.com/1106162554?s...

So uh, I made yet another engine model without posting any progress pics on here, lol. Anyways this is Alice, a Furness engine who was loaned to help build the NWR, and a character that's based off that Shining Time Station concept, to change Edward's name and gender, that was ultimately shelved.

Theia: The Plot Device Theia is commonly depicted as a generic airless planet with lava pools on its cratered surface...essentially the popular, outdated depiction of how Earth was when it was young. Here's my take on this hypothetical planet. #astronomy #space #art #SolarSystem #planet #Theia

Hadean Terra: Earth when it was young. Very little rock remained to tell the story of what the Hadean Eon was like; what we know is mostly based on theories and meteorites. See more information in Alt Text! #astronomy #space #art #SolarSystem #planet #Earth #gijinka

On this very day 10 years ago, we humans got to see for the very first time, our solar system's former 9th planet and its system of moons up-close, after being enshrouded in mystery for roughly 85 years. Happy 10th anniversary to New Horizons' encounter with Pluto!

My interpretation of a Hot Jupiter planet. I looked up some info on Hot Jupiter atmospheric dynamics and this is my best guess what this type of a planet might look like. #Sciart #space #illustration #astronomy #Exoplanets

Surprise! Another new model I made out of nowhere! This was a bit of a risky move, given the last time I tried to make a 4-4-2 engine, but here is Ronald the Loaned Atlantic! (aka, @theburiedtruck.bsky.social's take on the green engine from Edward's Day Out)

Been a while since I posted another C4D rendering involving exoplanets, so here's my take on the planets of the TRAPPIST-1 system, that I did sometime last year:

Early morning fish run.

So an idea for a short story came to my head while I was taking a shower a few days ago. I don't consider myself a writer by any means, but I'm hoping to see if I can try to develop this idea further, and to eventually adapt it in video format, as my first ever original story. (Pic semi-related)

Oh shit, a new MR engine model out of nowhere? Yeah I didn't bother to share any progress pics of this guy while I was making him, but I figured I should probably make another MR engine for once, after that FR kick I was on. (And yes, the number on his tanks, is a reference to this year)

I just realized I already made a post about me switching to Pac-Man eyes. I’m so dumb lmao.

It’s fun to remix video game music in the style of Thomas sometimes: soundcloud.com/planetkid32-...

So it’s my birthday today, but I haven’t really got anything special to show for the occasion, so I’ll just do what I did last year and post a pic of my cake:

Ok so I ordered this guy about 2 months ago, and he decided to show up at my house the day before my birthday. I’m literally flipping out right now:

So something that I’ve been thinking of doing with my models, is by giving the engines and coaches Pac-Man styled eyes, akin to Payne and Dalby’s illustrations. I honestly like the look, so I think I might stick with it:

NEARLY THERE PEEPS, LESS THAN 10 AWAY!!! KEEP IT COMING EVERYONE!!!💙✨ #ttte #thomasandfriends #art #artsky #book #petition

I sound like a broken record at this point, but for god sake this platform needs soft-blocking. I can’t tell you how annoying it is having to keep track of my REAL follower count, by removing the users that I’ve blocked, who’ve tried to follow me.

📌 Pinned Post 📌 I like to make Roblox models of RWS characters, and I sometimes use them to record videos with. I’m not making a game with my stuff though, so don’t ask. DNI if you’re: -NSFW/suggestive -NFT supporter -Homophobic ^You will be BLOCKED if you’re any of these, or like such content.

Saturn from the approaching Voyager 2 on August 23, 1981. This image utilizes a methane filter for the red channel, which is closer to true red than the orange filter usually used for Voyager red (it was largely red-blind). This set really brought out atmospheric detail.

I’m not gonna do anything special for the 80th anniversary, since I don’t have the time, nor enough resources to make something special, so I think I’ll just do a simple screenshot perhaps.

It's the 80th anniversary of the Railway Series tomorrow, and I've got a video lined up for then! I'll post a link when it's ready to premiere so be on the lookout!

Finally got around to making some FR passenger rolling stock. I figured that Albert's coaches, Victoria and Helena, would be a good place for me to start.

Today is a great day for us Thomas fans. :)

I just finished up the 3D face for this guy, so here's the completed Furness Railway D5 in all his glory:

Proper reveal will come once I've made a 3D face for this guy:

Haven't got time to finish this engine tonight, but all I need to do is to model and rig the wheels, and give him a 3D face, and then he'll be finished:

Coming along nicely...

Finally got some motivation to make another engine:

Hello, what's this? Another animated remake of a scene from COSMOS you say? I've had this in my files for a few years, but I haven't gotten around to properly rendering it until now. Audio from "Cosmos: A Personal Voyage" Music by the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra © 2025 Planetkid32
