I treated myself to a drawing tablet after enjoying all the sketches I've been doing for #Spaceshiptember. This is the first piece I've done on it, and I'm very happy. #art #DigitalArt #DigitalPainting #InfinitePainter #SciFi #ScienceFiction #Vehicle #Spaceship

Eriss has four arms and an extra brain, making her the only starship pilot who is her own copilot. She also has chronic anxiety. That's not as helpful. Her most recent worry? Her brain has been hacked. Preorder The Star Husks now! #spaceopera #booksky dnschmidt.com/news/star-hu...

Daily bunny no.3453 is looking back

Bunnies sit at a table outside a cafe, called the Luna Cafe. It is on the surface of the moon, looking at a distant planet earth. They sip from mugs while a third bunny watches from a second floor balcony.

Happy birthday to Mark Hamill! Mark is of course best known for his iconic space hero role, James Marlowe Sr. in Red Planet (1994). Just kidding! Of course, space opera fans know him as the unforgettable space hero Christopher 'Maverick' Blair in the Wing Commander series. Have a great one, Mark!

USS Rio Grande, STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE (1993)

Publicity still of STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE's runabout USS Rio Grande.

Built by Tony Meininger and Brazil
Fabrications, the runabout filming miniature was 19.5 inches long from designs by Illustrators Jim Martin and Rick Sternbach who themselves based the general configuration of the ship on John Goodson's Executive Shuttlecraft from STAR TREK VI: THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY. According to Sternbach, the producers initially intended on using Goodson's existing model but ultimately reversed course: "My earliest drawings reflect the major structural elements of his ship, in particular the forward windows, side windows, and entry doors. These would be the first pieces 'frozen’ in the design process, since the cockpit set
had to be finished and filmed before the miniature was completed.”

Ok, getting back on track with #spaceshiptember, but in no particular order. This fancy, red destroyer carries four 75m long, tungsten rods which it drops from orbit on an (unfortunate) target, usually all at once, in a close cluster formation.

Jay Jordan thought space junk salvage would be easy money. Just find an old ship that nobody’s using and grab it. But then he got hired by gangsters to retrieve a ship holding a dangerous secret. Never trust an alien who doesn’t blink. #booksky #spaceopera mybook.to/screamingvoid/

We'll start with mine! Which I'm excited about because I spent years working on it, and I love it, and I think you will too if you love character-driven alien-human romance with a dash of humor, a spike of adrenaline, a sprig of coziness, and a heaping helping of trauma.

Books to Films 📚=🎞️ Serenity (2005) by Keith R.A. DeCandido is based on the film. Most compelling is that the book fills in details between the show & film. Information about the universe as well as Mal's early years plus dialogue/scenes that were cut are in the book. 🔥🪰🚀 #filmsky #scifisky
