‪Wayne Haag just shared this on Bluesky:

"These are scans of the original b/w line artwork created for the brass etched silhouettes used in BLADE RUNNER.

They were scanned whilst we were working on THE FIFTH ELEMENT

These are a free download

Enjoy! "

Original Blade Runner Textures

When I was working on The Fifth Element at Digital Domain in 1996, we had access to the original black line art that was used to create the brass etched pieces for the miniatures. The line work was created by Leslie Ekker and co.We had the artwork scanned and used them in our matte paintings for The Fifth Element.. and subsequently many other film projects!Here are those original Black line art scans of the refinery towers, tanks, antennae and panels.Resolution ranges from 1k to 4kI am not the creator of the work so I am just passing them on to those artists that would like to use a bit of scifi film history in their own work.Enjoy!

Honestly this isn't worthy of the elaborate takedowns I normally do. Fuck every single one of you motherfuckers who was at that Madison Square Garden rally, and fuck everyone who had anything to do with that racist bigoted bullshit. This nonsense is honestly exhausting and I refuse to be polite or demure about this. This isn't worthy of respect, this isn't worthy of engagement, this is worthy of nothing but shame, humiliation, and contempt.

Over on Whatever, I've done what the owners of the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times would not: Endorsed Kamala Harris for President of the United States. Come read why I think she's not only the right choice, but the only choice, for president this year:

The Scalzi Endorsement: Kamala Harris for President

Low Quality FactsOct 7, 2024

Friends, I need your help. I know that Instagram isn't the most popular platform on here, but I recently discovered that I need 10,000 Instagram followers before Meta will start paying me to post all the silly stuff I post on Threads. I am currently 1,347 followers away from that goal.

So to be blunt, if you have an Instagram account and are willing to follow me on there, it would mean the world to me. Here is a link that I hope you will find to be most clickable:

@sundogplanets I don't want to be one of those people who continually talk about how much better it was in the old days but the last good MS Word was version 5.1. Released 1993.

I resent the term "prompt engineering" because it implies that there is a sophisticated theoretical basis to writing LLM prompts and not simply "fuck around with the wording until the dumb computer makes me happy"
