SYNOPSIS -
You are looking at an 18 month secret passion project. Obsession, really. 18 months of pain, anger, frustration and sobbing tears.
18 months ago, I created a file in my Blender folder entitled, "Nebula Project"....innocent enough. In my naivete, I thought I could merely waltz over to YouTube and find a tutorial on making accurate nebulae. This began a trip down a rabbit hole so deep with so many trail running into it, I was completely overwhelmed. But.......I never did find an artist on any forum site, YouTube, Vimeo or website that was creating astronomically accurate 3D nebulae. I found many, many wonderful artists coming close and I will acknowledge them here. Essentially, I took all the parts of a nebula that each amazing artist got correct and tried to assemble it into one cohesive object. This is what you are looking at. Save for the hot blue stars and the glows in the nebula itself, this is ALL one object. Red stars and all.
I would like to thank the following for the amazing inspiration and in several cases, tutorials that helped my quest along the way,
Teun van der Zalm
JFArts
Gleb Alexandrov
Mark Kingsnorth
Tim Barton
I will not divulge my secrets of how I created this just yet. I am going to create quite few of these in different colors, forms and structures to show the ability of my node tree. Yes, this is all procedural. After a fashion, I will post the whole node set up on my Patreon and then you can all have at it!
World's first accurate 3D Nebula?..................................maybe

SYNOPSIS -
It's been a hot minute since I've done any modeling work on my Daedalus Station. I had a little bit of free time and did exactly that. Mostly concentrating on more parts for the truss and finishing with the rigging for animation. It still needs wiring, a cupola or two, Canadarms and the nodes that Canadarms attach to. But, she's starting to look like an actual thing!

Space is commercial! And you can expect the giant, floating space cities to show up soon. No kidding. This is happening. But, take heart....You can cry about the atrocities of capitalism over your galactic craft beer at the Annunaki Bar & Grill while your crappy ship gets worked on at Fast Freddie's...
I'd like to apologize for my longish absence. I'm in the middle of doing some Star Trek related work. That's all I can say as an NDA is involved so, don't even ask.

SYNOPSIS -
Somewhere, in an unknown region of our galaxy, a massive research vessel studies a ringed earth-like world with a troublesome clump of potentially problematic asteroids nearby.
I like to listen to music while I create. Mostly to keep me awake as I really don't have a lot of time to sleep so, this particular set list accomplished just that with music from The Crystal Method, Chemical Brothers, The Prodigy, Massive Attack and Propellorheads. What can I say? I'm a sucker for the phat ass breakbeats of the 90's. Nobody did it or does it better.

I spent the last two days creating some personal works in advance to spread out in posts over the next few days as I need to take time to finish up some contract work. So, the posts will continue but I won't be around to field comments and questions.

SYNOPSIS -
Disclaimer: I already know that this is impossible......for now. Just hush and suspend your disbelief for a moment for the sake of beautiful art and great science fiction.
Have you ever wondered what the Moon would look like Terraformed? Me too. I tried accomplishing this in Photoshop a few years ago and I was not satisfied at all with it. Cut to present day when one has 3D Software and all manner of physics simulations at their fingertips and, Voila! Our Moon is transformed.
I think she turned out beautifully.

SYNOPSIS -
Earlier, in the previous morning, you saw the craft over the treetops as you fetched the paper. You called all the local authorities and reported and then went on about your day except...there were nagging thoughts of familiarity. Cut to the small hours of the next morning when you are awakened by banging noises caused by inanimate objects moving by themselves; books falling off shelves, dishware in cupboards flying across the kitchen, the TV and Computer turning themselves on and then...
...the flood of blue light pours through every window in your house. In the remaining seconds of your memory of this event, you opened the back door to your house and saw this.
This is number 3 in my "Encounters" series.
I know a lot of you are wondering, "Erik! What the hell happened to the cool Space Art and Spaceships?!"
Shhhhhhhhhhhhh....Hush now. I'm telling my story. And as I am not getting any younger and I hate interviews about this stuff that happened to me, I figure I tell it best in illustrations in the best quality that I can create them. When I'm done with this series, that should wrap up the weirdness for a while as I'm not really interested in others accounts or experiences. They're answers are not mine and so, I seek my own answers. And, when I get them, I probably will not share them as they won't pertain to anyone but me. Just let me finish this goofy series of personal horror and then I will return back to the generally accepted non offensive norm of Space Art and Space Exploration.
Also, I'm just as cringey about this stuff as most "normal" people are. There's a lot of judgement and ridicule that comes with it. I get it. I try to keep the tinfoil to a minimum.
Would be Thieves: Just know that I have all the PSD and Blend files to this work and they are dated. So, if I or any of my watchers catch you, it's all over. Think about it.
