Iron Sky done!!!

I am so gonna find a way to see this.

Archetype

So this little video is starting to get some traction and is well worth the 5 minutes (7 with end titles). This is really a teaser for what the effects company is hoping to make into a feature film. I really loved where this was / could go.

This is from the Aaron Sims company. I’d link to them but since this hit da web the site is down

They have done CG creature design and concept work for Green Lantern, Rise of The Planet of The Apes, and the samurai with the chain gun from Sucker Punch to name a few.

Part 2 – Lesser known Trek ships

Minor nacelle modifications and a few surface details added. The navigation lights, docking clamp pad on the saucer and so on. I went with a few ‘back dated’ warp nacelle details.

Snowmageddon

Okay, for all of you who live in real winter areas I know there will be no sympathy. Here in Seattle we are getting our 3rd straight year of ‘significant’ snow. For us it means about a foot. Problem is we only get it the one time so we have few plows, few sanding trucks and arse-hole drivers.

Oh – and if you did not know, everything is on the top or bottom of steep hills. So much fun it is!! Expect to see this on the news with buses sliding off the road. Last year some tour group almost went off an overpass.

Out side my office

Use the force – lazy butt

I wish it were that easy.

Lesser known Trek ships

The Federation is huge, even in the TOS era. We really, as everyone knows, only ever saw the Enterprise (or some Constitution re-skin). Obviously, as was intimated in later Trek shows, there were all types of ships in the Federation fleet. Not all ships would be front line types.

Over the years I have ventured out and come up with a few original designs of my own. Here is a new one, though something of a continuation of a design type I did many years back. I have lifted the design style from my earlier da Gama design. I have no name for it but look at it as an early TOS Nova class. With recent news of all the damn planets out there (reality catching up again with SciFi) I assume we would be looking at all these systems for their mineral wealth and for scientific studies. You would not need a big ‘arsed’ ship to do that.

And, yes, I am off the reservation again.

The ‘no idea what’:

For those who may not have ever seen this – the ship that I based it off:

And – why not – another variant I have around.

W! T! F!

Really, I can’t believe this.

This is what I get for having to stay home today and had the freak’n TV on. I think I’ll have nightmares!

Ridley Scott, not very original!

I had no idea he simply stole his idea for Prometheus from Pixar!

Seriously, so looking forward to Prometheus and when I saw this I blew milk through my nose! This is so clever.

New stuff soon – busy and burnt out!
