The Seals Are Broken

Jun 072012

srs miika 400x400 150x150 The Seals Are Broken WMATA, the local transit authority, has had a pretty bad rep over time for their interactions with passengers on Twitter. This week, however, there has been an amazing, nay shocking, development – The @WMATA twitter feed has not only had the usual automated alerts of system issues, but whoever is driving it has been actively responding to tweets, and giving more details than just the bare bones of the past.

This change in interaction on Twitter has bemused regular watchers of the #WMATA and @WMATA feeds, but I think I’ve finally discovered the deep dark truth about what has happened!

Giftart for Gini Koch – Home is where the hive is

Dec 252010

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting Gini Koch during a #scifichat Twitter conversation.

It seems I’m not the only one who writes about aliens getting it on with humans – unfortunately, her visions of aliens are all handsome hunks of human looking beings, whereas I, as you all have come to know, much rather prefer to focus on the beautiful sensuality of the alien forms first designed by HR Giger. Indeed, as discussion grew during the lead-up to the release of her latest novel, “Alien Tango” (DAW, 2010), she described these kind, wonderful creatures as “fugly”!

Giftart Render for DianeT

Apr 232010

I was hanging out in The Knight Agency‘s chat room after the Rhyannon Byrd chat with a few others and the discussion got around to aliens and predators. One of the chat regulars, DianeT, mentioned she’s prefer to go down to predators rather than aliens because she’d rather a quick death than the icky slimy death aliens result in.

Having just finished doing one of the illustration renders for Outsider: Epiphany, I was twiddling my thumbs, so I put together an image fast, and squirted it off to the farm while we were chatting.

Giftart Render: “I can’t take you anywhere …”

Apr 172010

I finally got around to finishing off this giftart for Mike Hawthorne over on Twitter – I get the feeling this is a scene that would be the end panel of his idea for a strip featuring his 4 year old.

No, seriously! Check out 4YO’s antics!

I’ll admit, this is more of an artistic impression, but I’m trying to cut down on images with more blood in a frame than the entire Nightmare on Elm Street franchise.

All yours Mike, enjoy

I Can't take you anywhere

Beautiful Beadwork

Feb 162010

Tainee, our PCA, is a member of the family and we love her to bits.

Not only does she manage to keep the two of us on schedule, and handle all the stuff we can’t do because of our chairs, she’s one of those rare human beings who is just genuinely a really nice person. In the slang of the Service, she’s a good egg, snappy dresser, fun to be with at parties.

Snowpocalypse Day Four – Bracing For Round Two

Feb 092010

Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get any pictures yesterday, but I wanted to get this update up from round one before round two hits – it just started snowing again.

I have no clue where he got it from, but yesterday we were astonished to see one of our neighbours come down the road in a Bobcat, a small front-loader excavator. He then proceeded to chunk out a wide path down the road, and even cleared our driveway enough so we can get to our trashcans.

So all the clearance you see in the pictures below is attributable to one resourceful resident, not the town, and not the county.

Snowpocalypse Day Two – Digging Out Begins

Feb 072010

I love how history repeats itself.

Most of the snow clearance you see on the ramp was done by our fantastic and wonderful PCA, Tainee. I did get to go out and start hammering on the ice on the ramp though – figures I get to do the destruction part

They think that plows might get to roads like ours mid-week.

Now, I realize people might say “Oh, well, the neighbors will all decide to dig their own way to the nearest cleared road” – and they very well might – but it won’t do us any good, since even a relatively small pile of frozen-slushed snow a car might drive through, or a pedestrian might step over, might as well be a solid wall for a wheelie.

Otherworld fanart that didn’t make the cut: Smoky

Feb 072010

I was in email with Yasmine Galenorn‘s wonderful administrative assistant FairyFindings this morning, and in the course of it mentioned a couple of other renders that aren’t really part of the Sisters of The Moon fanart I did. I promised her I’d dig through those rough drafts, and I came across this prototype.

Remember that old quote about interfering in the affairs of dragons? Well, this character from the Otherworld series pretty much sums that up – if you’re anyone other than Camille, that is.

Snowpocalypse Day One

Feb 062010

So here we go again with a rerun of the snows from last December, dubbed “Snowpocalypse”.

Which is kind of strange, given how it seems like DC goes into an absolute panic when the snowfall totals 3 snowflakes, let alone the three feet or so that’s fallen so far.

Unlike December, we’ve seen one Town snowplow, yesterday. I’m not sure why there’s been nothing since then, maybe they’re conserving supplies for when the snow finally stops falling.

Render: Catching The Lightning

Feb 052010

It seemed a little unfair to do renders of Menolly, Delilah, and Ariel, but to leave out the last of Yasmine Galenorn‘s Sisters of The Moon from her Otherworld series of novels.

The problem is, how to properly do justice to Camille, the first one of the three half-fae/half-human to be written of in Witchling.

Camille’s got extra considerations. She’s a witch and Priestess of the Moon Mother, with an affinity for lightning and Death Magic, but (except for the Death Magic) her talents sometimes have a habit of … backfiring. Enough that everyone around her who knows her tends to cringe and cross their fingers the Moon Mother will shine on her and not let her spell do nasty things to them (or Camille herself)!
