King-Van

Makes for some interesting food for thought in how advances in technology/culture can lead to new kinds of learned reflexes that can cause subtle changes in some actors performances.

Draw him in the full getup. Do it, you must. It is your destiny.

Facts. 👇

From King's Letter from Birmingham Jail:. "You may well ask: "Why direct action? Why sit ins, marches and so forth? Isn't negotiation a better path?" You are quite right in calling for negotiation. Indeed, this is the very purpose of direct action. Nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and foster such a tension that a community which has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue. It seeks so to dramatize the issue that it can no longer be ignored. My citing the creation of tension as part of the work of the nonviolent resister may sound rather shocking. But I must confess that I am not afraid of the word "tension." I have earnestly opposed violent tension, but there is a type of constructive, nonviolent tension which is necessary for growth. Just as Socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the bondage of myths and half truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objective appraisal, so must we see the need for nonviolent gadflies to create the kind of tension in society that will help men rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood. The purpose of our direct action program is to create a situation so crisis packed that it will inevitably open the door to negotiation. I therefore concur with you in your call for negotiation. Too long has our beloved Southland been bogged down in a tragic effort to live in monologue rather than dialogue."

Many purposefully hide the fact that he believed that a certain level of societal tension that brings issues to the surface is necessary for change. Moderates would rather have an unjust peace then deal with that tension to build a better world.
The Letter from Birmingham Jail is a good read.

They put more effort into crushing Bernie and the Palestinian protesters than they do resisting Trump. And then they whine about why nobody wants to take on their side. Maybe stop doing that and earn people's faith instead of demanding it like a spoiled child after having already killed their hope.

Unionize, run for office, support mediocre for all, worker co-ops, ect. In spite of all the finger wagging from exclusionary leftists and the centrist libs who offer no future. Though to be fair part of why folks say "Dems suck there is no hope" is cause Dems keep crushing the ones who offer hope.

What happened in the last 200 years that lead to this?

😎

So it's rea life version of Galileo if it was closer to the OG concept art? Very cool.

Wow, never seen this version before!

Lovely stuff.

Can't wait to check this comic out!

What are some of the standouts?

Nah, the Labour Party in the UK is just right wing at this point. Not only in these policies but in the sheer amount of sabotage and Stalinist level purging of the Corbyn wing. You folks are better off starting a new party. Labour doesn't want you and they are cooked anyway.

It's a good day when you see fanart of The Black Hole online!

Like and repost so we can get him to draw more Aerorifles, folks! No kind of energy like peer pressure.

A poster titled "Our Peacemaker" depicting Emperor Belos of the Boiling Isles in Vienna Secessionist Style. A blue halo of stars lays behind his mask and in the halo's orbit are nine circles, with coven symbols and colors within each. The background is a golden texture with red misty clouds and sun rays emanating from the halo. Flanking the image our two wings with eyes perched on top of each.

May I give you all an emperor Belos poster in Vienna Secession Style in these trying times?

You're starting to get that 1930s aviator look. 👌

Last year's #Airfortress Secret Santa for my friends: @ravajava.bsky.social & @shnezzberry.bsky.social
The one the left is Rava's character airship driver Sasha Lancdur; the other Shezz's robot xenobiologist Witka (from an unrelated setting.)

🥴School is getting to the tough part. Not a ton of time to get anything over the line.

So, here is a smattering of Roaring Torrent related sketches. It's the home-away-from-home for one of the two protagonists in the novel I've beek working on.
