Art by John Berkey for Star Science Fiction Stories No. 4 (1972). It was also amongst a number of artworks purchased by George Lucas to use as the visual background to try to get movie studios interested in funding Star Wars.

A couple of nice #StarfleetFinds today. I've wanted the Phase II book for a while so I was really happy to see that in a shop window! Plus a warbird-sized Rihannsu anthology.

Two Jovian moons Io and Europa eclipses the sun darkening Jupiter's sky. Volcanic plumes and sulfur halo can be seen around Io and water ice jets are erupting from Europa's crust. Also Jupiter's rings, solar corona and zodiacal light also glows in this darkened sky #SciArt #spaceart #Jupiter

Fresno Bee, November 17, 1989. The Star Trek Blooper Reels played at FSU more than once, and I'm unsure exactly which screening I attended, but it may have been one of the ones on this date. This was of course long after SAG filed suit against Gene Roddenberry for touring with them in 1970s.

And celebration of the 59th anniversary of "The Menagerie" I thought I would highlight the piece of technology that became my first exposure to the Star Trek universe.

This shot of a half-buried Shadow ship was a favourite and I remade it a few times. I'm adding some extra commentary to the alt text on these, BTW. /2
![Half of a Shadow ship jutting out of the sands of a barren desert world, silhouetted against a large sun. An EA shuttle has landed in the foreground. August 1999.
The Shadow ship I've used in all these is probably by Nadab Göksu, who was one of my favourite modellers. He had some wonderful non-canon Narn designs and a fun website [eon3d.com]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mvd4njlxajan7j67vrfhunzv/bafkreietnd5r7hllp4ea73unk4667bgnofy6ewxhunfg5fpf5yfbdc4jxq@jpeg)

This is one of my favourite space photos.
It's Pluto, backlit by the Sun, imaged by NASA's New Horizons spacecraft in 2015.
Look carefully and you can see the planet's irregular topography and the layering in its atmosphere.

That's basically the THX sound, right?
By "coming next Christmas" I assume this teaser trailer was released in 1978. The THX deep note debuted in 1983 with Return of the Jedi. /1

Our feature tutorial/artist for today is this set of IRRIDESCENCE references by @mileskitaro! A great ref for your own digital painting, and a useful reminder that there are SO MANY different materials out there for your character and world design! #gamedev #illustration #COLOUR

Some old Babylon 5 renders of mine for #NostalgiaSunday
These were all made in the late-90s or early-2000s with #LightWave3D and are presented here in all their low-res glory. /1 🧵

!['Shadows over Jupiter' - a simple render, but one of my favourite B5 LightWave images. Made Jan 2000.
I’m pretty sure the Whitestar was by Kier Darby [ap3d.com], who wrote a very popular step-by-step tutorial revealing how it was made, textures and all. That’s how I — and many others — learned how to use splines to make these tricky organic shapes.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mvd4njlxajan7j67vrfhunzv/bafkreic2b3olcsprhf2uorxtk6thmllpadygq27qkzp2xux4bk6ndv67f4@jpeg)

I've made a few things with the new Affinity 3.0 now, but for some reason I encountered more bugs making this piece than the others. And it was a very simple project.
Lag is still the most annoying issue I'm having tho… /1

Another oddball "Star Trek" logo recreation, and one I hadn't seen until @portalrealm.bsky.social sent it to me yesterday. This one appeared on a bootleg 'famiclone' console manufactured in Hong Kong in the mid-90s.
