any amount helps, no matter how small, even just a few dollars gets us closer to being able to justify it. just right now it would cost me most of my small disability pension each fortnight

www.paypal.me/marcienolan

please, any small amount of help would be appreciated to get closer

Pay Marceline Matthew Nolan using PayPal.Me

Go to paypal.me/marcienolan and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

please, anything helps, helps get closer to this, we really need this bed, to reduce further decline for me, and to assist my carers

the OT is keeping an eye on the reissue database but the last one she tried to secure through there disappeared on us so we couldn't get it

Milo + the mars system ||👩🏼‍🦽🏳️‍⚧️ @marssys.bsky.social · Sep 8

the OT is going to visit again on Wednesday, bringing some equipment to try out (other stuff that can be fully covered by the program)

but I'll have to let her know how the funding is going,

Milo, mars system @marssysmilo.bsky.social · Sep 7

if people are able to help it would be much appreciated

paypal.me/marcienolan is probably the best way to do it, if i have energy to do a proper writeup later ill do one for the gofundme

might need to ask for crowdfunding help again

the OT from the hospital has been trying to arrange a hospital bed to be put in my room to make it easier for my carers to help me

but the only one that fits has a $500 gap I would need to try and cover myself

Two questions I've been itching to ask. When did you decide to get McCaig to help out with the design, and what was the process like? Is there any chance some of his other illustrations will be released digitally? I am SO obsessed with this design, one of my favorites in recent memory.

So glad @cavan.bsky.social managed to get Ian for this. Soo Lee's interior art for the Nightlander is also very cool!!!

The new Star wars comic book series Tales From the Nightlands features a new villain known as the Nightlander. The Nightlander was designed by legendary concept artist Ian McCaig! You can see his design for the Nightlander on the concept art variant cover for issue 1:

Not to step on or derail @cobaltgreen1138.bsky.social ...
as an Imperial I'd like to Help Confirm that you are Correct.

during the Making Of, the idea of having the PT Senate Guards in those scense , making those costumes was Not feasible. In their place we now see these.

Some of them have the security trooper chestplate, others have more armor on the arms. Pretty sure they have MP5s too.

Also along with Senate Security, the script uses "Senate Police".

Luke Hull's work on Andor as the Production Designer and Rebecca Alleway as set designer deserve all the kudos and awards. Phenomenal world building and culture building on Ghorman, Coruscant, Chandrilla, Yavin.

Exactly, you don't see that all too often! Love me all the WEG stuff. Really any time you guys can pull from something in Star Wars history is really cool.

The #StarWars Holiday Special has been long mocked, but Ralph McQuarrie took designing Kashyyyk for it totally seriously, with beautiful results. I love Chewie's art nouveau-looking house, and some of the appliances made it to the screen again in Andor. See more:
alextoons.com/blog/starwar...
#art

Concept art of Chewbacca's house, a circular wooden art-nouveau-looking house built around a massive vertical tree limb, with a background of a forest of thousand-foot-tall branching trees.

Either concept or a matte painting for the view looking down from Chewie's deck towards the forest floor below, shrouded in mist and with more treetops.

Scan of a book page with concepts for Chewbacca's living room, featuring curving wooden beams, green carpet, and a mix of low tech and high tech industrial furnishings. Lumpy watches a hologram at a coffeetable while Malla, wearing an apron, stands in the kitchen.
