Radar Love

Not every glimpse of the future is dark, depressing or apocalyptic. Sometimes it’s quite pleasant, like two female androids making out like the starliner was going down. I assume that this could be a problem for some droid owners, but who knows, some may encourage such behavior? Take a look>
Landing Pad 2

For those that are looking to a place to park a large spacecraft, I’ve got a new model available that just might fit the bill. It’s creatively called Landing Pad 2 as it’s my second landing pad model after, yep you guessed it, Landing Pad 1, but it’s quite a bit more as it includes a large, rooftop scene for unlimited possibilities in building your next scene.

RIP: Arthur C. Clarke

What is the second major loss to the sci-fi community this month, award winning British science fiction author, inventor, and futurist, Arthur C. Clarke, most famous for his novel 2001: A Space Odyssey, has passed away. Clarke penned dozens of novels over the years from his 1951 Prelude to Space, to the soon to be published The Last Theorem. Aside from his visionary novels, Clarke penned the concept of the geostationary communications satellite in 1945 that is said to be the basis for the modern satellite communication network. Arthur C. Clarke always reached for the stars and now that he has reached the final frontier, he will forever live among them.

I wrapped another piece this morning and have added it to the gallery. The piece is called Assault on Mu Arae and is an illustration from a short story and features the Dystopia Marine Mechanized division moving a cross the desert moon Mu Arae on a covert operation. Click here to check it out>
It’s About Time…

I put the wraps on a new piece this morning and have added it to the gallery. It’s about an 1/8 of a larger scene I started working on before bailing on it due to time, loss of interest, etc. I think the portion that I salvaged was worthy and stands on it’s own, but you take a look and let me know>

I completed a new piece titled Metro Girl and have added it to the gallery. It’s sort of a Manga inspired piece with a cute Asian girl and her hover Vespa in the heart of the new city. Click here to check it out>
RIP: E. Gary Gygax

It’s a sad day for the science fiction/fantasy universe as E. Gary Gygax (July 27, 1938 – March 4, 2008) has left us for the high plains of the Forgotten Realms. Credited with authoring the world’s best selling role playing game of all time, Dungeons & Dragons, Gygax was responsible for giving untold millions of geeks something to do in their parents basement when the ‘normal’ kids were outside playing football or doing other mindless activities. Like many of these kids, I wouldn’t be the person I am today without Gygax and the wonderful worlds he created, so my saving throw is all yours Gary. Rest easy and thanks for the memories.
