Alex: "You've never been scared of anything in your life"

Gunny: "Sure, I have. All the time. But there's a trick. You just have to believe that what you're doing really matters, and then the fear can't control you."

Next Thing I’ve made, sticking with both spaceships and comics: hero ship “Kitesfear” from friend @HowardTayler ’s Schlock Mercenary! This was a premium add-on to the Book 16: Big Dumb Objects Kickstarter. I think I made about 200 of them. 3D model, molded and resin-cast. Super cute! #handmade #spaceship #toy #SchlockMercenary #maker#mastoart#scifi

Holden: "Nice of Avasarala to clear up our salvage claim"

Amos: "How'd she look?"

Holden: "Fine"

Amos: "No, I mean, like, what was she wearing?"

FML.

I’ve started reading book 9 of #theExpanse and was confused by a huge jump in time. Seemed like a strange choice by the authors.

I accidentally skipped reading book 8. 🤦🏻‍♂️

That sure does explain things!

I’ve been reading all my life and this is the first time I’ve ever made a boneheaded mistake like that.

Guess my reading is on pause until I can get the missing book sent to me, lol.

(The book series is really fucking good, btw).

Ashford: "Beltalowda. Eyes and ears. We are trapped in the Black and fighting for our lives. So make no mistake. Everything we do here is to buy one more chance to live. One more breath! So do your fucking job or I will space you myself"

Ashford: "We are all victims of the same catastrophe. This ship, my ship, can create spin gravity. So I am able to offer it to all of you. Bring your wounded here so they may heal. You will be welcome. The Belters embrace all of you"

Ashford: "And I've drunk real Earth whiskey out of a UN Admiral's mug and then scuttled her ship. I flew dark past a Martian battle group, and they never even knew I was there. And I've seen friends breathe the vacuum and watched my only child burn"

There is a subgenre of academic papers that could have originally started as someone’s homework for a #SciFi story or #worldbuilding exercise. This exploration of constraints on #life beyond Earth definitely fits that category.
Also, seriously, #writers , so many excellent resources now to explore and understand how life outside Earth could evolve and function… if you want to go for hard SciFi (or just get some out-of-the-box ideas), just reach out and grab them.

2024 was the year that I went back to working traditionally in a big way after decades of digital. Some of it was personal, some of it for my Dark Shepherd project and debut novel. I have been lucky in that I sold every piece of art I created. So here are my nine picks of the year, both digital and traditional, none are AI.

Happy New Year to you all and all the best for 2025.

A FIGHTING MAN OF MARS (1979)
Acrylic - 24" x 32"

Since I was endeavoring to be the illustrator most faithful to Burroughs' descriptions, Lester del Rey and I had a lengthy discussion about whether the white lizard I wanted to show had six or eight legs. 1/4

#sciencefiction#scifi #scifiart #sff #edgarriceburroughs #johncarter #barsoom

Menacingly, a white, six-legged lizard grips pale rocks rising well above the floor in an expansive cavern. Distant stalactites extend from the ceiling washed in dark pink and purple providing contrast. The lizard perches above twin Barsoomian warriors opening its maw to expose its teeth. As if caught by surprise—evident by the sword still in its scabbard—one of the men is standing upright and poised to attack with just a dagger in hand. His companion crouches warily with a basket-hilt sword held out, tip up. His shoulder length black hair swings forward with motion. A massive bone protrudes from the floor, the ball joint of a femur seemingly larger than the lizard itself. The foreground around it is littered with human bones, swords, and shields.
