Planning an expedition out into the "near" black to raise some sweet exobiology credits to pop back into the Bubble, fill up my fleet carrier with 25k tons of tritium, purchase and outfit that Corvette I'm now eligible to purchase, before setting out on a larger expedition to the galactic center later this summer.

Also looking forward to playing with reasonable human beings too, in the Mobius PVE group.

Page one of #ProjectStargazer is complete! The second part of my #stargazer project, an ongoing comic about the life of a group of adventurers living aboard the Element of Magic (J3F-T3V), the stories that occur between landscape paintings.

This page represents the first step in what I hope will become a long journey, one that I get to experience with my friends from my Discord server, who all serve as crew of the Element. Each has their own strengths and personality, that I hope to portray in the art that I will keep producing for as long as I am able. Like Starsong, I'm beyond excited for what's going to happen next.

Allons y!

In today's episode of "goddamnit...."

I'm trying to get back into Elite, and moving my carrier back into the Bubble for some ship refits. I'm about 3k LY out, now.

I'd scheduled a jump a while ago, and was messing with a ship. An *unfitted* ship (this becomes important in just a second.) The ship in question has a 14ly jump range rn. The carrier was scheduled to jump about 500 LY away.

I accidentally launched in the unfitted ship... just in time for my carrier to go into prejump lockdown, so I couldn't redock.

I'm not making the 500ly trip back 14LY at a time. Especially considering this particular ship didn't even have a probe launcher fitted. (It did have a fuel scoop though.) Hell with that. I self-destructed, and I'll respawn on my carrier.

There are limits to my masochism.

Bonus: Shot of the DBX I self-destructed in.

Got myself a new art project in the works, folks! I'm super excited about it, and there's gonna be so much neat stuff coming soon!

I present the new logo for #ProjectStargazer !

My first time really ever doing logo design period, and in Krita no less.

I'll be revealing more about the project as time goes on, but suffice it to say I think this is gonna be something of an obsession for me for some time. Allons y!

I'm still alive, I swear!

I've had some serious art block up until very recently. I've been doing a lot of Elite: Dangerous streaming of late, and exploring has led me to the rim of the galaxy, quite literally. There's no stars in the sky that far into the rim, and when I saw that vast nothingness, I felt a little existential dread. A viewer had a different mindset, and instead felt at peace looking at the empty void. That hit me.

So I was inspired to start a new art project, thus smashing the art block asunder! I'm calling it 'The Stargazer Project', and I'm going to use it as an excuse to do a study on a night sky. First though, we need someone to look up at the stars in wonder- and who better than myself?

Got a long ways to go on this project, but I hope ya'll enjoy this first step. Feels good to be arting again!

And if you want a TON more pony art, check out my DeviantArt page link in my profile. TY!!
