I guess I went from writing short stories to a novelette. And I can't share any of it because I skipped way ahead in my writing. :(

The bridge of a futuristic warship. It is narrow, with consoles in a row, like the CIC of a submarine.

A 3D render of a new version of the warship's bridge. It looks like it is floating in space due to a wraparound screen, with consoles now arrayed ergonomically around the captain.

Old and busted vs the new hotness. Still faffing but waaay better feeling...

Stressful day, so I wrote the next bit instead of going to bed. Are these even short stories at this point... docs.google.com/document/d/1...

she's so tiny...

I finished the little story that goes along with this finally. I'm a pretty novice writer, sorry in advance. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Also sorry new followers expecting cool characters. They're more like this.

Sorry new followers expecting cool spaceships. I'm more of a character artist... the spaceship just happens to be a character.

on one hand, that was really good... on the other hand, damn, did mars hurt you...

Spaceships can have some pink, as a treat...

It's okay, she lived! Mostly.

Picture of the staff who operate my account.

i have zero clue for their design so yeah lets go with that one

In the middle of the illustration is a woman dressed in wintery clothing, above her head is some text pointing to her that reads "Marsh, 40 years old, works at the surface observatory array". To the right of her is another drawing of her, this time smiling while holding a can of beer, saying "Let's share a beer and convert raw telescope data into pretty pictures." To the right is a large column of text that unfortunately doesn't fit in the character limit for this. The column is titled "The Sun". At the top is an image of some stars against the dark background of space, at the bottom is a slightly fuzzy illustration of a space probe against the background of stars. To the left is another large column of text titled "The Earth", at the bottom is a speech bubble coming from the girl mentioned earlier. In the background is a drawing of the Earth, completely frozen over and airless. The vague outline of landmasses is visible in the shapes of the ice.

A world where the Sun has stopped existing due to extraterrestrial intervention.

oooh, cuz it looks cute, right got it!!! ♥

why is she a worm...

hey why isn't this emission shader working *keeps cranking it up* -oh I'm in eevee

*switches*

oh #blender #b3d

A render of a spaceship in front of a gas giant. She is venting air from multiple holes, and the image is taken as a railgun round pierces through her. At top, the title- "My favorite mare with her head in the air"

"- took a cannon to her gut." #blender #b3d

pleease...

the sheer prevalence of Guncone Enthusiasts made me think my stuff sucked ass for the longest time because it wasnt a cone, good god.

oh plumpus!

An image from Blender, of the unfinished arboretum of a spaceship.

An image from Blender, showing the unfinished arboretum's placement inside a very unfinished spaceship.

Unfinished arboretum inspired by TNG's... And an awkward picture showing it in the core of her forward hull. Eris spends a lot of time in her arboretum. #blender #b3d

She's so tiny next to Eris... and she would undoubtedly just call Eris something unbelievably rude.

A good friend made a Traveller Scout SX class for SecondLife , and I have very slowly begun redoing the interior for her with my awful awful trimsheets. #blender #b3d #secondlife

A caboodle of WIPs with no explanation, for now. I am the queen of WIPs and the pauper of finished work.

someone please take blender away from me, i'm so tired. i'm fretting that there's nowhere to even put fuel tanks letalone fit ~91-100 crew.

Figured out a robust and ugly design for Euryale's reactor and ?exhaust compressor? idk nerd stuff. all based on a single 2048x tilesheet that I must use for all engineering thngs. In this env, big things must be lowpoly, so they're very blocky and lab-chique?? i love that style #blender #b3d

THE RUNAWAY'S HABITAT MODULE A cutaway shot shows Talita following the worms, exiting the docking ring and walking carefully through the lower storage room that connects the habitat module to the rest of the vessel. Bip's avatar follows, appearing to walk along the doors of the cabinets, the vector lines of their body interrupted by seams and handles as if they were a painting behind them. Bip: Sorry about the bumpy terrain, "gravity" in here isn't supposed to go sideways. First Floor: Kitchen and Commons The habitat module resembles a four story building lying on its side. Each floor's main space is a ring around the central spine and elevator shaft. The first floor contains a living space with a screen, seating areas, food preparation and storage areas, all clean and empty. It's the area that had a hole in it that Talita peered through on first her look inside the Runaway, but the spotless interior and large wall patch makes it almost unrecognizable. Talita leans over the considerable drop to the far wall of the kitchen to poke her head into the living room. Talita: Wow, you really cleaned this place up. Bip's avatar slides around the 90 degree bend between floor and wall, elongating, appearing larger than Talita. Bip: I did what I could with the electrician worms and onboard actuators. Second Floor: Crew Dormitory Talita walks through the spine, surrounded by open doors to rooms with a much messier interior. Furniture has been knocked loose and tumbled around these rooms, settling to the lowest walls were gravity has pushed it. Strangely shaped chairs, beds, handmade chests, tables, desks, and things smashed beyond recognition fill these otherwise barren rooms. Bip goes with Talita, elongating further and winding their avatar's body around the curve of the spine through multiple room floors. Bip: A lot of the heavier objects still need to be secured or removed, though. Third Floor: Passenger Dormitory Talita leans through one of the open room doors and smirks at Bip's giant avatar displayed on the wall. Talita: Are ALL of the walls in here electrowetting displays? Bip's avatar and two nearby worms strike a pose. Bip: Much classier than a tablet screen with wheels, don't you think? Talita: The tablet with wheels would be more useful for moving furniture... Fourth Floor: Bip's Servers Furthest up the spine and shielded by the thickest walls on the vessel is a command room. The thing Bip essentially is, the animator casting shadow puppets inside the walls of their own body, is a ring of 40 server boxes fixed to the upper corners of the room.

Transcript A montage of panels shows Talita removing furniture from the interior of the Runaway. Bracing against a door, face contorted with effort, she pulls on the moving straps to lift a cabinet that has fallen against the exterior wall of a cabin room next to a smashed and dented desk. Inside the room, the electrician worms help lift and guide the furniture so it doesn't swing and scrape against anything. The walls and floors of the wedge shaped cabins show ghostly lines of where furniture used to be attached, and people used to walk. On the floor of the interior room (which with current gravity, is a wall) Bip's avatar waves at her nervously and appears to watch her progress. Talita adds the cabinet to her pile of removed furniture in the interior room. She carries a piece of furniture under her arm, stepping over the bulkhead dividers between the floors of the habitat module. Then she places the cabinet down carefully into the four sided docking ring room, where a pile of removed furniture is slowly growing in size.

This week on #RunawayToTheStars: Bip is very excited to have a new house guest, Talita hauls junk out of sideways rooms.
