My tablet officially bit the dust. The cord inside the USB cable frayed somewhere and since the darn thing is connected to the tablet, paying to get it fixed would essentially cost as much as buying a new one. Good old grey boy served me well, since at least 2009 (maybe earlier, I can't remember) At least we had a good run.
So I'm currently awaiting the arrival of my new Wacom Tablet. Ebay said it could arrive between one to two weeks, and I've got my fingers crossed that it's closer to one. Now that Summer is here I'm really anxious to finish the last of my commissions and get to drawing my own art again.
Your patience for updates is greatly appreciated and you can bet that as soon as it arrives I'll be posting like crazy. My fingers are itching to draw. And color. And Shade. And everything.
Maybe I can post some disney crossovers while I wait. Those are easy enough to do on their own

In the mean time I leave you with a movie-must-see to kick off your summer. Four simple words:
MAD MAX FURY ROAD.
Non stop desert driving action! Explosions galore! And such creative and fast paced fight scenes that you're never given the chance to be bored.
Charlize Theron played baddass exceptionally well, and though Tom Hardy maybe only had 10 lines as Max, every time he spoke it was chilling.
I also loved the bizarre order that was created to sustain this chaos world. Everyone had a role to play inside the machine. My favorite was the blind guitar player strapped to the war lord's drum ship who mindlessly played heavy metal even as men were fighting and dying around him.
It was intense, and I loved it
Here's the trailer to help wet your appetite

The Chevalmar and the Quantum Drive
I'm finalizing the details of how Captain Treta acquired his unique ship and the engine that powers it. In the original story, what made the Monoceros unique was that it had a Quantum Drive, a more advanced version of the common Hyper Drive. In this universe, most space ships use a Hyper Drive to propel a craft at faster-than-light speed through space. The Quantum Drive is capable of opening channels in the fabric of space and jumping its ship to another part of the universe. Essentially it can detect/ create worm holes, open them and travel through them to the desired destination. I'd always had this idea that Treta acquired the drive from its inventor, and that he/she/they were a species of alien that the humanoid-centric Federation disregarded as a lower life form and therefore refused to acknowledge as a key player in quantum mechanics and interstellar space travel. In trying to come up with the details of this section of Treta's back story, here's where I'm leaning: I like the
NT Character Dossier: Captain Varden Treta
Name: Varden Treta, Captain Race: Asmurian Sex: Male Age: Roughly 127 (in Earth years, at the start of TNT) Height: 8'5" Background: (Spoiler Warning) Varden was born on Asmur, the Asmurian Home World. The Treta Pride (family) was well-respected, but held no significant power or influence within their community. Varden's mother, Prihavack, was determined to change that. Over the span of her life, Prihavack built a successful career as a Raider, attacking and plundering enemy vessels in record time and with great showmanship. She even competed professionally in one of Asmur's most popular holos, in which live raids were broadcasted for gambling and entertainment. Fame was a fast way to gain Honor, and with Prihavack's popularity, the Treta name was quickly growing stronger. Varden's fondest memories all center around his mother, whether it was watching her compete or playing dress-up with her eccentric costumes. He would later style his iconic image in honor of her memory, choosing
NT Character Dossier: Dr. Kala Leahy
Name: Kala Leahy, Ph.D. Race: Hantae Sex: Female Age: 32 (in Earth years, at the start of TNT) Height: 7'3" Background: Kala was born on Ursus, the Hantae Home World. Her Mother and Father were doctors, and they encouraged their girls to be scientific, inquisitive about the natural world and open to all possibilities. Kala was the first-born. She decided from a very early age that she would follow in her parent's footsteps and become a physician. As she got older, Kala developed an aptitude for technology and started tinkering with hardware and electronics. She created her first prototypes when she was 15 (EY). Kala was always close with her younger sister, Veska. The two were inseparable as children and became each other's best friend through adolescence and into adulthood. Veska also decided to pursue the sciences, but her penchant for nature inspired her to become a botanist. Just before Kala left for college, when Veska was still a young teenager, their mother was
The Nebula's Tide and AI Discussion
As my three most recent posts suggests, I've been playing around with DreamUp, DA's AI image generator. With those uploads, I've touched on my complicated feelings about AI in relation to art. Where I'm at now, my stance is this: It's a fascinating tool, but one that needs regulation. My issues with AI "art" It takes from other creators without their consent It devalues the hard work of the original creators and threatens the livelihood of those who depend on selling their art The massive upload of AI content is overwhelming the site and burying the work of human artists, making it harder for them to be seen and appreciated What I appreciate about AI "art" It enables creators to explore visual concepts quickly and from different perspectives The bizarre combination of images stimulates the imagination and inspires new ideas It has great potential to be used as a tool to assist human creators, helping to come up with new landscapes or backgrounds, or (for me and my work) designs
