  • October 1 Prompt: Wormhole

    I might have been a bit more ambitious with this one than my skill level and time allotment allowed for. I’ve never been a particularly quick artist, and I’m relatively new to drawing exclusively digitally. Part of my desire to attempt Trektober this year was wanting the practice getting things done on a deadline, with my already full schedule.

    Anyways! I like aspects of the drawing, but even as I was working on it there were things that I wished I could stop and redraw, but I knew there wasn’t going to be enough time, so it is what it is. As it is, I went about 15 minutes longer than what I had intended to spend on the piece.

    Obviously I decided to interpret the “wormhole” prompt somewhat literally, and I got to make up some rando Lower Deckers. It is definitely going to be a challenge for myself to not just default to trying to emulate the LDecks style for most of these prompts.







  • I’m posting this quite late. I, of course, take no responsibility for the fact, and will instead blame Netflix for dropping the entire season all at once, and the fact that it is still not legitimately available to stream in Canada. Also, I just kinda wasn’t feeling it.

    But we’re back on track! I don’t know if I’ll be able to get out the rest of PRO season 2 before LDS season 5 begins, but my plan is to at least try to go through two or three episodes a week.

    I guess Gen Z didn’t pay as much attention to space because the shuttle program ended before their time?

    I love that one of the enduring aspects of human nature is that each generation wants broad strokes paint the ones that follows them as lazy, incurious dolts who will lead to the downfall of civilization. Gen Z is getting the brunt of it now, but it wasn’t too long ago that op eds were written blaming Millennials for “killing” everything from golf, to wine, to napkins, to basic courtesy. We can go all the way back to Plato, disparaging the youths of ancient Greece for sagging their togas, and spending all their time looking at tablature as opposed to having real conversations. And, of course, my generation also got its fair share before we all turned into the cranky old men shaking our fists at clouds in between writing those op eds.
