I was thinking earlier today about how, for the most part, movies set before the turn of the 20th century tend to fall into a relatively small handful of relatively specific periods of time and place that seem evergreen for a great variety of storytelling. Some of the more notable (in English...

These are fun. We should do this. I went to a thing last night, as a favorite figure of nostalgia.

I have little doubt that a significant contributing factor in the disappointment with the PT was how it didn't seem to align with expectations about what the Star Wars galaxy is like on a fundamental level. I had a clear image in my mind of 30-something Obi-Wan and his friend/protege Anakin in...

As the headline says. I'm going to be running a new campaign here in the next few weeks, probably via hangouts or roll20. Could benefit from a couple more players, no experience required; just need an enthusiasm for roleplaying and a willingness to learn and play along. If there is enough...

Bored last night, and inspired by someone else's recent efforts to do the same with Bruce Wayne, I combined all the faces of the doctors in a face-mergy thing to see what the 'essential' doctor might look like. Turns out, he looks kind of like Liam Neeson: I then roughly pasted the face on a...

I think we've had one of these before, but it is always nice to have somewhere for everyone to throw up WIP (or finished) images of things that don't necessarily need their own thread. Little side projects, sketches, experiments, etc. For instance, I got my hands on a copy of ZBrush the other...

Starfleet dominates Trek and we rarely catch a glimpse of the worlds outside of its walls and uniforms. Your challenge is to show us a bit of Federation civilian life far away from deltas, pips and duty shifts. Good luck.

Doodled this down today and figured I would throw it up even if I'm not sure I'll finish it:

I've been fiddling with a story for years now, and have tried on a few occasions to design the hero ship featured in it. Here you can see my first and second trys. Here is the current direction I'm heading in: (note there are a few known perspective and scale issues with this sketch...

Apparently it aired in front of True Blood with a bunch of other HBO series promos. It is brief, very brief, but the Westerosi in me is bouncing off the walls. I'm a skeptic when it comes to this, especially having read the pilot script, but they've certainly nailed the look and feel I was...

First one is up at Den of Geek. Sounds about like what I expected, but I'm still not sure if that is in a good or a bad way; still a big 'wait and see' for me.

I don't have reliable net access at home(leaching from a generous neighbor when I can), especially during the day, and find myself more and more in need of a mobile alternative to my home-bound beastie. I've built my last 4 computers from parts, so I know very little about which companies are...

I've been tinkering with getting back to some 3d of late, and modeled a few bits and pieces here and there so as to figure out how not to suck quick as badly as I have in the past, particularly when it comes to more detailed and complicated shapes. I pulled out a sketch of a Firefly-verse ship I...

There hasn't been a thread on the subject since my last one when Sean Bean was cast as Ned several weeks ago, but since then we've had almost half the cast roll in. Today, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed Lena Headey as Queen Cersei, and rumors abound that Rory McCann is lined up for Sandor...

Hollywood Reporter has the details. Sean Bean is Ned? He has the stern fatherly thing down pat, but he is 50 and doesn't look much like the Ned in the books. He has the chops, so at least we know they're going for talent here. . . Mark Addy i've never seen in anything, and he is far from what...

In case you don't know, here is the delicious 411. I have a 12 pack chilling in my fridge from my grocery run this evening. In approx 15 minutes I will open up a can of delicious real-sugar Cola the way it was meant to be. Anyone else enjoying this retro pleasure tonight?

Been dooling around in lightwave again the last few days and decided to take on something a little less intimidating than a whole ship. Also working on both rifle and stock-less variants. Will probably make low-poly versions afterward to practice some game art with normal maps and whatnot...

Another 3d doodle from me, though this time I tried to make it something more on topic and attempted to keep at least a little of the federation aesthetic to it. I imagine this is a small scouting vessel with about 3 decks and a crew around a dozen. Lightly armed and armored but too hard to...

I mess around in Lightwave from time to time and kind of sketched this out in modeler over the course of a few hours. Nothing too exciting, started as a nacelle, became a space probe I guess. Wondering what I should do with it and can't for the life of me figure out where to take it, so help a...

Well god fucking dammit to the bloody bowels of the underdark. I should have known it was too good to be true. Nothing lasts forever but why couldn't it just last a little longer this time? iGoogle has been revamped. With bigger icons, more space between gadgets, some sort of useless toolbar...
