It was so damn depressing to watch every TV writer who was willing and eager to have open, intelligent conversations about their process get hounded off social by a combination of aggressive stans and belligerent wannabes defending the right to be a shithead to creatives

I keep thinking about the discourse from the other day suggesting writers are gatekeeping writing information for ourselves and I just think back to 2019 when every writer was out there giving away writing advice until one by one each stopped because social media blows and we can't have nice things.

Some early 80s concept art of bug-shaped spaceships by James Gurney for a home release box art for Galaga, that he shared on twitter years ago- I think they ended up going with a different artist for the finals, but these are still very cool.

Slightly sketchy colored concept designs for 10 different bug-shaped alien spaceships, with small handwritten notes next to them, by James Gurney. In the bottom left is the note, "Insect-aliens should not be too grotesque or realistic. Better to have a more appealing or humorous representation."

I was asked about a small breakdown for the 3D anime ramen and realized my breakdown thread was on the cursed site from which I deleted my account 😅 So I'm gonna post a small 🧵 here

Also just gonna quote post as well as repost to say the San Jose Children's Discovery Museum is absolutely fantastic and you should go there if you have kids. Educational and fun af, and it's also in a big striking lavender building. It's great. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Childre...

#FossilFriday "A digital mural of an ice age landscape with extinct animals, produced for the San Jose Children's Discovery Museum." @bzaiken.bsky.social

A bird's-eye view of the landscape with lots of proboscideans and other animals walking toward a small river.  The landscape is open, with some trees, and mountains in the distance.

From Beth Zaiken's website: This digital mural was produced as a lenticular graphic for the San Jose Children's Discovery Museum's new exhibit "Mammoth Discovery." The mural depicts a Pleistocene version (approx. 10,000 years ago) of the landscape that is now modern day downtown San Jose. (©Beth Zaiken)

A lenticular graphic shows two images at once, and shifts into just one or the other depending on where you are standing. The graphic switches from a photograph of downtown to the prehistoric landscape,  like a hologram, it changes as you walk by.

I did a thread on paleontologists contributing to eugenics & fascism. What about the opposite end of political spectrum?🧵 Ernst Untermann (1864–1956) palaeontologist by trade, painted murals for the Dinosaur National Monument. A prolific socialist, first in US to translate Das Kapital into English.

Another Star Wars 3d render from last year- a Yuzzum runs into an AT-ST and a stormtrooper on the forest moon of Endor. The terrain and foliage assets are from Polyhaven.com, they've got a lot of great free stuff. The AT-ST, stormtrooper, and Yuzzum are made by me.

A 3d render showing an AT-ST walker from Star Wars emerging from a dark conifer forest, with a stormtrooper just at its side behind it, showing its scale. We also see the back of a surprised Yuzzum in a slightly crouched stance facing this giant threat- an alien with a brown furry neckless torso and thin tan bony limbs, and two antennae or ears on its head.

Re-sharing more art from a couple years ago, here was a Star Wars space battle render I made for ECHenry. The Republic Skipray Blastboat model is mine, the CR-70 was one of his. I made the explosion in embergen. Not perfect but came out pretty cool.

A wide image showing a space battle between red-and-white republic-painted skipray blastboats (small ships with a rotating rear wing section, and in this version with a bubble turret manned by a clone trooper), firing blue laser bolts, and a blue-painted CR-70 corvette with separatist markings (a ship similar to the blockade runner from the original Star Wars), firing orange laser bolts. Fiery explosions are going off from the sides of the CR-70.
