Photo comparison! 2 years apart!

Top photo was taken November 2020. I had almost had my camera for a year at the time, I was still pretty inexperienced

Bottom photo was taken on almost the exact same day in 2022. I am a lot more experienced with how to use the camera's settings now so I think this one turned out with much nicer looking colors. I also got an airplane flying in the background which looks really cool.

The debut April 1976 issue of the Italian sci-fi magazine Robot re-used one of my favorite John Schoenherr illustrations, originally done as the 1963 cover to Mark Phillips' The Impossibles, a story about a detective tracking a teleporting criminal.

The magazine stopped publication in 1979 and returned for a second series in 2003, with a cover by long-time Robot illustrator Giuseppe Festino, doing a robot-themed homage to the debut cover.

I'm writing more about Festino's cover art in my sci-fi art newsletter, out tomorrow! Check it out and sign up here if you like my blog.

The one big thing out of seeing all the hermits irl for me is that people need to do more fanart with Pearl being really fucking tall

Linktober day 28: Bones

The hero's shade (or as i called him in my tp playthrough: grandpa) is soooo interesting to me...the implications...

"I had to know if I imagined things. And then I found your arrest records, you were just a kid…but the picture matched."

"Who...whose records did you find?"

Wanted to fill out a more detailed stat template and got carried away. The discord had a fun mugshot drawing prompt and it inspired me

no but what if there was a rosquez soulmate au where you feel each others pain and have each others scars etc? first of all vale wouldn't be able to deny his connection to marc anymore because he would have big ass scars all over his arms! would have to think about marc every time he's wearing short sleeves or is shirtless! and secondly vale would constantly be in just as much pain as marc is! his arm over the years, maybe the deal with the diplopia, maybe the emotional pain caused by the divorce and the whole aftermath as well?? i would looove watching him suffer knowing that he's either part of the reason for the pain or knowing that he's done nothing to try to alleviate the pain by maybe just being there for marc..

i DOOOO think if vale was in any way beholden to the risks marc takes and the pain he is in literally daily he would just hate him. it would not even be sexy hate it would be resentment 9000, so im gonna put the kibosh on the pain SHARING... but THAT being said, the visuals of them having matching scars is so fucking sexy to me so we can go with THAT...

like. everyone can see!!! everyone knows!!!! because its written across their fucking SKIN and precisely no one will acknowledge it. academy boys presscorp rosquez THEMSELVES... also vale is someone who has comparatively smaller scars, so its gonna be mostly scars accumulated by MARC. explicit ownership in a way that is not necessarily reciprocal and is EXCRUCIATINGLY PUBLIC. marc literally writing on his skin. unbearable. and maybe vale starts to figure it out when marc's hand injury happens in 2015 during summer break and hes doing shit like showing vale his scar and wellllll... WELL... we all know how that ends BUT. only vale knows it lmao. marc oblivious and heartbroken and he doesnt even KNOW...

and then theres marc's shoulder surgeries. and his stupid pizza burn during lockdown (where theyre locked on a video game oriented zoom call ignoring each other as best they can and vale is sweating BULLETS trying not to let his wrist show up on camera)

and then jerez 2020. and suddenly vale is walking around with his arm looking fucked uppp. and vale been ignoring all of it for YEARSSSS but the scars keep piling up!!! and marc isnt here hes in recovery/arm rehab and the paddock feels WEIRD and EMPTY and DIFFERENT and he doesnt know what to do with all of it... he has to start wearing a lot of long sleeved hoodies... watching new jagged lines appear on his arm.... until its 2022 and hes out of motogp and a lil out to sea (still thinking about him car racing less not to hang out with his young family but to hang out with PECCO next season. like what the HELL.) and marc is posting pics at the mayo clinic and the BIG scar appears on their skin and suddenly he cant really ignore any of it... thumbing over the ridge of it and feeling a bunch of contradictory emotions... and then MARC only finds out when someone paps a photo of vale in short sleeves with the edge of his shirt riding up a lil and his fucking stomach drops OUTTTTT because he would know the exact contours of those scars anywhere. and then being his regular direct ass self and showing up at vale's doorr the next time hes in the paddock like. HOWWWW long have you known.

The quail drama is popcorn worthy, thanks for sharing. I also love how you hold them like an ice cream cone.

I spent years not even LOOKING at the quail drama because it is apparently rampant, a fact of which I was blissfully ignorant for three years, but to get what I wanted, I had to sacrifice my ignorance upon the altar of knowing some shit. I'm just really hoping that I can get what I need and get back to my hole in the ground lol

and sometimes you just have to hold a bird like an ice cream cone. it's the only way.
