Offworld

 


"A new life awaits you in the Off-World Colonies. 
The chance to begin again in a golden land of opportunity and adventure." 

That's what the advertisement said at least, and boy, did I ever fall for it.

I still recall seeing that for the first time, the blunt stench of reality hitting me in the face as our transport peels away behind us, bathed in the pale light of twin moons.

Another night. Another planet, another terraforming op: clearing out the unruly natives as we make space for another wave of pioneers, bright-eyed, hopeful and oh, so, so naive.

Off-world. ..... I hate that ad."

xenomorph / aliens / romulus tribute

Drawn in celebration of the release of "Alien: Romulus",
the latest in my favorite 45 year old sci-fi horror franchise.

Star Wars - Battle of Hoth


I have only very vague recollections of seeing the first Star Wars film in the theater; 
it was “The Empire Strikes Back” that had a significant impression on me, 
especially the "battle of Hoth". I'll never forget the first time I saw 
those towering AT-AT walkers appear on the horizon, and the chill of fear. 
(Now THOSE were some FX, before the age of CGI ...)

I devoted many a moment recreating that scene as a kid -- it's been a few decades, 
but thought I'd try it again. Of course, I had to throw in the Imperial Droid as well.
