“It was an early Earth president, Abraham Lincoln, who best described our current situation; ‘The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise to the occasion. We cannot escape history. We will be remembered in spite of ourselves. The fiery trial though which we pass will light us down in honor or dishonor to the last generation. We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, our last, best hope of Earth.’”
A special image for election day, a painting commemorating the first visit of the Earth Alliance’s president to Minbar.
I stole this scene wholesale from a twelve-year-old test-shot that I never put on line. If it’s new to you, it counts!
A new moon has appeared in the sky of Epsilon III. I’m sure it’ll be dull.
Centauri ships pursuing a Narn cruiser. Some days, the inspiration doesn’t strike.
Another Beyond-inspired image. Trying to reproduce a (modern) pro-shot is definitely a good exercise. I think this might be the first time in my life I ever used a rim-light.
You know what movie I really liked this year? Star Trek Beyond. You know what Blu-Ray arrived in the mail yesterday?
Perhaps someday I’ll go into my elaborate theory on how Avatar takes place in the universe of the new Battlestar Galactica.
Something I’ve wanted to do once I had access to a HD-quality Babylon 5 model was to recreate some of the early publicity shots of the show, the ones with the really blown-out contrast (probably because the on-line copies were scans of printouts, and not straight renders). I always thought the distortion made the station look more like a model.
