Challenge #04879-M130: Sad Beige LifeMy parents were cold narcissists. As an adult, once they signed everything to me, I signed our entire solar system to the alliance. I have plenty to live on, my mansions, my gardens, and so much more. But now the halls are full of life and youthful laughter. It actually feels like a home, not a museum. My parents? They live in their wing, their own little world. I'm letting them live the remainder of their golden years in peace. Under watch, and proper medical care, of course. -- Anon GuestYou might think it's cold. It kind of is. It's kind of petty, too. You would be right, but I can explain.
My earliest memory was crying because I wanted a Raggy May doll, and they told me I had to have a teddy bear or nothing. Teddy bears fit the aesthetic of the nursery. Which was fifty shades of beige. There once was a heritage green cushion, but it was quickly disposed of for being "too disturbing" for the peace of the childcare wing.
They decided every aspect of my life. The clothes I wore, the subjects I learned, the toys I was permitted to play with, the musical instruments I learned. Everything. Right down to when I could relieve myself and what kinds of food I was permitted to eat and when.

Challenge #04877-M128: Can We Keep Each Other?Not long ago, this planet of havenworlders saved a human who had, had a cheese-grater landing. If not for these beings, the human, fortunately the only occupant of that freighter, would not have survived. Then raiders came to harm these people. And the humans showed what gratitude for kindness earns. -- Anon Guest[AN: May be in relation to: https://peakd.com/fiction/@internutter/challenge-04839-m090-waif-and-stray ]
Hal was learning a lot of things. Starting with the fact that aliens were real and that a lot of them were more harmless than the average Human. The surprising part was that there were other Human worlds, stations, and settlements all over the known universe. Lots of them had banded together to form some kind of fellowship, but they were also friends with a whole bunch of aliens.
He also figured out that he couldn't go back to his world and tell the people there that. Hal's home was isolated and would panic if actual real live aliens showed up. He might even be considered 'polluted' or 'infected' by the alien forces.
They might even think he had been copied or... taken over by the aliens.

They got a giant (2019)
This is a follow-up image to the Wasted in the Wasteland one. I was going to do a whole series, flesh out a world, spend the rest of my life just doing these.
In the end I did just these two.

Sometimes in the preliminary stages of an illustration I'll hit upon concepts that I find compelling but for whatever reason don't get the opportunity to explore. 1/5

BETWEEN TWO WORLDS (2021)
Acrylic on Illustration Board - 10” x 7 ½”
This started with a piece of the illustration board that I was using as a backsplash for a series of small monochrome works. One morning I came into the studio and in the random lines and shapes that marked the surface, I glimpsed a finished space scene.

Worlds of IF (December 1969)
I like this style, if only because of nostalgia for the 70s. Is there a name for this kind of abstract, super-saturated artwork?

A teenager asked me for recommendations to get into science fiction. I know she reads fantasy, but I guess they are different genres to her.
She said someone told her she should read Dune, and I said nooooo, you should not read Dune. I suggested Murderbot. What else should I recommend?

Another book completed on my #XTEINKX4! This was "To Be Taught, If Fortunate" by Becky Chambers, a fantastic #ScienceFiction novella about a group of astronauts and their journey exploring alien life on far away planets! I was pleasantly surprised by it, I want to read more works by this author in the future.

Finally reading Miller’s A Canticle for Leibowitz after it’s been on my shelf for years. Didn’t expect the spanking around page 50.
