And then the Martian beside us raised his tube on high and discharged it...

A tall, robot-like figure with long stick legs holds what looks like a cannon above its head in a landscape lined with other similar creatures

A while back, I created an RPG campaign setting based on my Get Lost saga of books. I recently revisited the project and added some very interesting features based on other great RPGs!

'Forbidden Planet' (1956) • 70 Years Later

looking back on the development & legacy of the Shakespearean #scifi classic that brought the Golden Age to the screen & changed everything, maybe inspiring #StarTrek

four film stills: United Planets Starship C-57D preparing to land on Altair IV in ‘Forbidden Planet’; Jack Kelly as Farman, blaster in hand, Warren Stevens as “Doc” Ostrow, Leslie Nielsen as Commander Adams, all wearing grey military style uniforms; Leslie Nielsen again talking to Walter Pidgeon as Dr Morbius with Robby the Robot and Anne Francis as Altaira Morbius wearing a mini-dress in the background in a Modernist interior; a marvellous matte painting of the vast alien machinery of the Krell with three tiny figures walking past a row of glowing spheres along a long platform.

"------so I joined the Space Corps to get out of the Infantry!"

Vogel's cartoon in Imagination (June 1953)
#scifi #sciencefiction #art #artist #cartoon

Forgot alt-text: two space corps members run around with futuristic guns. Various nuclear explosions around them.

Got a surprise writing day today, and I'm muddling through an intense WWI battle scene with alien, starfish-shaped walking tanks and heat-rays a la H.G. Wells.
I know the outcome of this battle, just not how to get there.

JOHN CARTER OF MARS (1979)
Acrylic - 22” x 28”

I’ve had a special fondness for The Martian Tales by Edgar Rice Burroughs even since I first read them in my early teens. This was the last of 11 covers, so it seemed fitting to have John Carter and Dejah Thoris ride off into the sunset. 1/3

#sciencefiction #illustration #edgarriceburroughs #johncarter #barsoom #delreybooks

On the back of a saddled Martian bird, John Carter flies above a barren red landscape with the horizon tilted at a steep angle. His arms are spread wide as he grips reins in one hand and a rapier in the other. Dejah Thoris has a worried expression as she holds him around his waist. The bird twists with its eyes and beak pointing in a different direction than rider, giving a disorienting change in motion. Behind flies Tars Tarkas on his own winged mount. An elegant city with tall spires and onion-shaped peaks sits in the distance framed by a huge moon. Another smaller moon hangs bright in the gray blue sky.

Hiti

हिति , in Nepāl Bhāṣā, is the word for a shared community water tap. Even in modern Newar cities, these ancient structures still pour out fresh mountain water piped through ancient underground filters and conduits. They are a place to wash, to talk, to drink, to meet the locals: a nourishing, refreshing social-ecological place.
