Retro Sci-FI Profile

As a child of the 70s I grew up with a lot of retro and pulp sci-fi. This was a Saturday warm-up project to get in the drawing mood. I wanted to try to capture the look and feel of the art that graced those old sci-fi stories.

"Echo" starts on Disney Plus tonight, but we have no real idea if it's any good or not — critic reviews are embargoed until all episodes drop at 9pm ET. Forbes' Paul Tassi wonders why Marvel is taking this approach — is the studio trying to hide something, or is it just wary of spoilers? Indications on social media suggest it's the latter, but here's more.

artildawn,

@CultureDesk Maybe to give it a shot? In the era of review bombing it's got to be a consideration at this point.

My 2023 "art v artist".

I set out to get comfortable with more color and apparently I also drew a lot of ladies.

Trump just filed his opening brief in the immunity appeal in DC circuit court of appeal.

https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cadc.40415/gov.uscourts.cadc.40415.1208582803.0_3.pdf

It's late but I just had to start reading (morbid curiosity)

Paragraph #1: He tells the court that if he can be indicted there will be no end to it. Presidents will be indicted for decades! It will be a parade of horribles!

(Assumption: This is a purely political.)

#2 is the doozy.
Basically, Dear Court: You have no power to sit in judgment of MEEEE.

It's laughably absurd.

artildawn,

@Teri_Kanefield So you think SCOTUS will just stand by whatever the appellate court rules and reject/decline any appeals from that?

Done 3-1/2 years ago, still relevant and the list just keeps getting longer.

Gaemalin gazed at himself in the mirror. He did not recognize the face that looked back at him. The years of intergalactic piracy had stolen his youthful vigor, had made him hard and cold. I decided then and there that that would end today. He would steal away while the crew slept and night shift busied themselves with necessary tasks of running the ship.

Shortly after the midwatch bell chimed, he grabbed the meager bag he had packed and headed for the shuttlepods bay. He knew the bay would be unmanned at this time with no scheduled raids. He rigged the hull energy locks to disengage just long enough for the vacuum to eject the pod nearest the doors. He got into the pod and sealed the door. The locks disengaged and the pod was ejected into space, then the locks reset.

He drifted for countless minutes, hoping the lock action had not alerted the bridge crew. After about an hour he felt safe enough to energize the pod, and headed off to begin his new life.

Scarlet Witch.
Just taking a break from the 9x12 tone paper I've been using recently. And dipping my toes back into a bit of watercolor which I've neglected for a several months. But I ended up going mixed media with some pencil and markers over the watercolor. Still the smaller 5x7 size was a nice break.

A couple recent 8x10 commissions.

Goofy as Sherlock Holmes with Pluto searching for clues.

Goofy as Jacob Marley scaring Scrooge McDuck as Ebenezer Scrooge.

Mahalo for the commission Patricia.

A few thoughts about today's oral arguments in the DC Trump- Gag order case.

But first, a word about appellate arguments in general.

You don't listen to the arguments to find out what the parties will argue. You already know that from the briefing.

You listen to to see what the court asks as a clue to what the court is thinking.

Similarly, when you argue on appeal, you can tell from the questions what the court is thinking and it's your last chance to change their minds.

How does "stochastic" speech fit in here? It's not a direct incitement but still has consequences.

artildawn, to drawing

mind won't shut off so here's what I did to keep me busy for a couple hours. Playing with random patterns and mixing markers and pencils. Plus is more experimenting with the handmade tone paper I picked up.

Let's call it "Magic in the Patterns." Why? I don't know, it just sounds good to me.

artildawn, to drawing

I thought I'd try out some homemade paper (link is below). I figured Nancy Downs from "The Craft" would be a good subject to test out this paper. It's also suitably Halloweeny.

Initial impression is that I like the look and feel. The only drawback is it's not great for any sort of rough erasure. But I think I'm going to like it overall.

From a witch themed drink and draw. I got a little too ambitious. Even having a head start of 30 minutes on the pencils I still had to finish the inking after the end of the 2 hour stream.

The coloring was a bit slow too due to the roses.

This is sort of an alternate universe take on the Elphaba where she wins. Think of it as The Wicked Ruler of Oz

"At least 22 people have been killed and more than 50 have been injured by a lone gunman in Lewiston, Maine, according to NBC News."

Justice Thomas has amended his financial disclosure to list well over a dozen “inadvertent” oversights. Yeah, I always forget about those billionaire-funded private jet and yacht vacations, too. So unmemorable.

artildawn,

@georgetakei I'm sure they're the ones already made public by investigative journalists. Betting there's a multitude of others he's still not disclosing that haven't come to light yet.

Ahsoka and Grogu...this took way longer than I'd planned. All tolled, it was about 4 hours of work.

Preliminary sketch done off line. 2-hour stream with Comic Jam Hawaii, and a final 90 minute stream on my own.

    I'd say he's at the point where no legitimate lawyer would take him as a client, so he only gets "yes" men or those so delusion they think it's a good career move to get the notoriety of being on his legal team.

    Alucard from Castlevania. Suggested by Darin Trinidad.
    Tested out some budget markers on this one. The Creative Expert markers found at Ross. $13 for 48 markers. The work great for a budget brand. My only concern is the barrels are thin so I suspect the don't hold a lot of ink.

    artildawn,

    @Teri_Kanefield Truth. People self-select/segregate to platforms that reinforce their inclinations. Gone are the days of 2 or 3 media channels. People can find the "news" they want regardless of accuracy or factuality.

    artildawn, to Netflix

    "Nimona" on Netflix is a damn delight. Go watch it right now!

    Props to Blue Sky Studios for starting this project and to Annapurna Pictures for finishing it along with DNEG Animation. And a huge middle finger to Disney for quashing it while it was under Blue Sky. I'm glad the creatives pushed to get it finished and found a new home for it. I just wish I could have seen it in a theatre; it's that good.

    Chloë Grace Moretz and Riz Ahmed are great as the leads. The animations is beautiful. And the story is strong.
