robot girl that manages the algae farm 2 found some time to touch up her design a bit since some parts kept bothering me, the old arm config was cool but looked off

- Sordalan must not fall - ~32 hours ~9821 kilometers ~119,068 tons of personnel, vehicles, and supplies The Airlift, as it would come to be known, had one strategic objective Arkgneisis had waited too long to involve itself in this war - Sordalan must not fall -

One of the things underlying all of my renders is a desire to find ways to compose something fun with minimal setup that can run without a dedicated render farm This time we're investigating easy ways to do clouds in EEVEE

new ship, new banner! spent all day on this, really proud of how it turned out :) This is a Karræ warship, with a gas core nuclear thermal rocket and some pretty dusty plasma radiators. #EyesUponEons

Developed in the last years of the Second Committee, the Everest pattern now known as the Sagarmatha experienced some of the bloodiest infighting ever witnessed in Union's history. Both SecComm loyalists and revolutionary forces fielded countless variants in fratricidal struggle.

Dunno who'd really benefit from hearing this, I'm not a therapist But yeah, shit sucks rn, in most places, for a lot of people Is there a guaranteed fix for your woes that you could be doing rn that you aren't? Of course not, there is no such thing keep going anyway, you don't know how this ends

Between us, the sword of Damocles has been hanging over my head since I graduated uni. I still see it sometimes, between the clouds It has reliably refused to fall, and if it actually does one day, I'll be better prepared by doing anything other than dreading that day you don't know how this ends

I know they are trying to connect the lineage between falken and night raven, but i don't like the nightmare.

finally getting around to doing a ship design for the jovians, might still change it up a bit though and im still figuring out a naming scheme for them, currently it's just military theorists cause technocrats, but meh

Despite how it may look, something important to understand about the Athlete is that it was -cheap- It lacked many features considered standard kit in contemporary aviation, and was quite possibly the slowest production jet flown in over a century

been slowly poking at a proper, if still fairly simple model for the Athlete superheavy air transport, I have a ton of animation ideas for the Final War stuck in my head being hampered by a lack of assets and maybe if I start generating them one by one eventually I can eventually do them

Standard recovery procedure for downed Athletes was to retrieve any surviving power plants [the most expensive part] and abandon the rest Its frame carried no great engineering secrets worth losing sleep over, all of those remained at home, with the economy now building them by the hundreds

The structure of this base was based on the Tulou structures found in Fuijan China I came across them while thinking about severe-weather resistant pre-industrial constructions for my own world building, though the real Tulou were mainly a solution for community defense Also they look so cool

My redesign of The Expanse's Rocinante - 1% more realistic: bigger for more water (re-mass, RCS) and chemical rockets for landing. Shouldn't turn your landing pad into cancercrete! Also lasers? And radiators? Someone please make a co-op Expanse ship-to-ship combat game. I beg u.

A continuation of the thinking behind the NGAS REAPER prototype, the EX-77 "LOKI" is a super maneuverable fighter primarily intended to serve as a platform for new technology, this being the ADMM unit, and INFINITE (Integrated Neural Fly-by-wIre, Neural Integration Testing Environment)

using an ongoing valheim playthrough as an excuse to think about how pre-industrial Arkarans might construct shelters. This is a small structure, but in virtually all cases the primary concern would be ensuring that regular gale-force winds don't blow the whole thing over.

I imagine earth works would play a signifigant role but raising terrain in valheim is somewhat expensive so outside of major constructions I'm exploring what storm-resistant wooden constructions might look like. I've got plans for more earth and stone works down the line.

Sailfish outfitted with a scientific payload instead of cargo space on a wide tour of Persephone #blender #blender3d #spaceship #artistsofbsky #seasinthedarkness #art

we picked up another stray Starting as a random temp hire, while mining rocks he got tangled up in an encounter with a noble hunter (seen on the right) and lost an arm i felt bad so i took him to get it replaced and...now he's got some background so I guess he's part of the team

I need to catch up like crazy for the rest of #spaceshiptember; I'm missing so many days ':\ To avoid ambiguity I have added running lights which, in space may just add to the confusion. After all...

Shiptember. SOLCOM. Tilapia-Class Light Gauss-Missile Carrier. Problem w/ making these in 1 day is the details gotta be gibberish or you'll drain your juice by the 8th hr. Binged S4/5 of Homeland while sketching. Great series. S4 ending was good. PS. Rose's newest song is repetitive. ToughSF.
