Creating art is my coping mechanism for the state of the world. Here I have control.

And I guess that's the reason for my choice of genres. SciFi, Fantasy, Cyberpunk, I did those already before the world went nuts. SciFi offers glimpses into bettter futures and better societies. Cyberpunk often describes how heroes stand up against overwhelming odds in a dytopian future, never giving up hope. Fantasy often does something very similar. Aside from creating pretty images (at least I think they are pretty) I draw strength from it.

Description by ChatGPT: The image is a sci-fi 3D render of a woman in advanced, armored exo-suit standing in a dimly lit, futuristic metallic corridor. Her face is painted with a striking white skull design, contrasting against her dark skin. Her head is shaved, giving her a bold and intense appearance. The exo-suit is sleek and high-tech, featuring metallic plating, glowing circuitry, and intricate mechanical details in a mix of white, bronze, and black, with illuminated blue accents. Her shoulders and arms have additional reinforced plating, possibly enhancing her strength or durability. The background consists of dark metal walls with glowing blue lights, suggesting a spaceship or space station environment. The woman gazes forward with a calm, focused expression, exuding confidence and resilience. The combination of the skull face paint and high-tech armor gives her the look of an elite soldier, assassin, or special operative in a dystopian or cyberpunk future.

Description by chatGPT: The image is a beautifully detailed fantasy 3D render depicting a serene moment between a young girl and a majestic dragon in a lush forest. The girl, dressed in a school uniform with a white blouse and dark skirt, stands barefoot on a sunlit dirt path surrounded by wildflowers and tall, green trees. She gently extends her arm, offering a small pink flower to the dragon with an expression of curiosity and trust.

The dragon is an imposing yet elegant creature, covered in dark, textured scales with golden horns adorning its head. Its wings are partially folded, revealing their leathery texture, and its glowing eyes are locked onto the girl. Despite its fearsome appearance, the dragon exudes a calm and almost reverent posture, lowering its head slightly toward the flower.

The background features a bright blue sky with soft white clouds, and sunlight filters through the dense tree canopy, casting dappled light on the scene. The natural setting, combined with the gentle interaction between the two figures, creates a magical and heartwarming atmosphere, symbolizing trust, curiosity, and an unlikely bond between human and beast.

Description by ChatGPT: The image is a 3D-rendered cyberpunk scene set in a futuristic, neon-lit city during a rainstorm. The streets are wet and reflective, mirroring the glow of numerous holographic signs and advertisements that clutter the towering metal structures above. The architecture is a chaotic blend of industrial scaffolding, pipes, and futuristic tech, evoking a gritty, dystopian atmosphere.

In the foreground, a solitary figure kneels on the rain-soaked pavement, dressed in dark, tactical clothing. Her head is bowed, and her long, dark hair is soaked by the rain, clinging to her shoulders. She appears emotionally distressed, with one hand resting on her le. A belt with pouches and a holstered weapon suggests she is a mercenary, detective, or rogue operative.

The background is dense with cyberpunk elements—glowing billboards advertising "Hardwell Cybernetics," "Mech Repairs," and "Birth Labs", hinting at a world dominated by robotics, body augmentations, and biotech industries. A robot with an assault gun stands in a dimly lit alcove, in the left back a bipedal combat droid can be seen.

The torrential rain adds a cinematic quality, streaking diagonally across the scene, while the streetlights and neon glow contrast sharply against the darkness, making her isolation feel even more pronounced. The scene conveys loss, betrayal, or exhaustion, embodying classic cyberpunk themes of struggle against corporate oppression and the loneliness of a high-tech world.

Wrecked Love: A story without words.

All design** and rendering by me. The only post-work is colour/brightness adjustment.

** I didn't create the assets - life's too short.

Image 1

Sitting precariously on the edge of a collapsed reinforced-concrete bridge are two women. A blue-skinned one with pointed ears and a blue pony tail. And in her lap, facing her as they kiss, one with normal human coloration black hair with pale streaks.

The blue one is dressed in boots, pants and a leather top. The other is wearing a black dress with lace panels, lace sleeves and black gloves. The dress has ridden up because of the way she's sitting astride the other. She has nothing on her legs and looks like no shoes.

The sun is shining bright. Behind them is a rock wall going higher than we can see, while below their level is a rough looking building.

Their kiss is passionate and the pale woman seems to be the dominate one here, holding the blue woman's face. While the blue one has got her hands on the other's posterior.

Image 2

It's the same two women, the blue one and the pale one but now they're walking along the dusty ground holding hands and looking at each other. We can now see the blue woman's top is cut off and shows her midriff down to the start of her hip-hugging pants. The pale woman's dress has an uneven hem which stops mid-calf.

Behind them are old rusted buildings and a zig-zagging stairway going up out of site. The women are in the sun, it's behind them but the constructions are in shadow.

Image 3

We're inside now. The pale woman has climbed a couple of steps of a stairway, and is leaning over the rail to kiss the blue woman who has to lean up to receive it.

Once again it looks like the pale woman is the dominant one in this partnership.

We can see the rear-end of some sort of pick-up in the foreground, out of focus, while behind the pair is an outcrop of rock and corrugated iron walls propped up with planks.

Image 4

The pale woman is in the foreground looking away from us. She's on a raised leaning on a rail and waving to the blue woman who is driving away in the rusted pick-up which was once yellow.

All we can really see of the blue woman is her shoulder and arm in the vehicle, and her left arm sticking out the driver's window and raised in a wave.

In the background is either building that's collapsed or was halfway to being built but then forgotten.

#render #renderedArt #3DRender #CGI #CGArt #3DArt #SciFi #ScienceFiction #FanArt #Babylon5 #Babylon5FanArt #ScienceFiction #MastoArt #FediArt #MastoArt3D #Xanathon

Description by ChatGPT: The image is a 3D-rendered Babylon 5 fan art, depicting a scene in a frozen, icy environment. Towering glacial walls dominate the background, their icy blue hues contrasting against the dark, alien entity at the center of the composition. The sky is vast and open, featuring soft, wispy clouds, and the ground is covered in shallow, reflective water, mirroring the surreal spectacle above.

In the foreground, a lone figure clad in an orange and black environment suit stands, gazing up in awe—or perhaps fear—at the massive presence before them. The suit, complete with a helmet and life-support backpack, suggests the figure is an explorer or scientist, possibly from the Earth Alliance or an independent faction, investigating an anomaly.

The monolithic creature in the scene is unmistakably a Shadow vessel, an iconic and terrifying design from the Babylon 5 universe. Its organic, insectoid form is covered in black, chitinous plating with intricate, glowing white vein-like patterns. The spindly, jagged limbs stretch outward like nightmarish appendages, and its twisted, chaotic shape exudes an eerie and malevolent presence. The vessel appears dormant or emerging from the ice, hinting at ancient horrors hidden beneath the frozen landscape.

This dramatic and cinematic fan art captures the eerie menace of the Shadows, one of the most feared factions in Babylon 5, and evokes a sense of cosmic horror, mystery, and impending doom.

Description by ChatGPT: The image is a 3D-rendered sci-fi/horror scene set in a subway station. The platform is clean and well-lit, featuring yellow tactile paving along the edge. There are stainless steel turnstiles and stairs leading to an exit in the background. Overhead, an electronic display board shows upcoming train arrivals, listing destinations like Canarsie - R and Forest Hills.

A human figure in an orange and black hazmat suit stands on the platform, staring at an otherworldly event taking place on the tracks. The suit is bulky, armored, and equipped with a breathing apparatus, suggesting protection against hazardous environments.

Emerging from the subway tunnel is a massive, glowing red-orange portal, radiating an eerie light. Dark, thick, slimy tentacles with sharp edges and glistening textures snake out of the portal, reaching towards the platform. One of the tentacles has a serpent-like head with sharp teeth, adding a nightmarish quality.

The lighting and foggy atmosphere emphasize a blend of realism and surreal horror. The overall composition suggests a moment of intense suspense, where the suited figure appears frozen in shock or curiosity, faced with an impending cosmic horror.

Veteran Of The Wrath Gate

I just noticed that I have not posted this image here in the Fediverse so far. The second one is a new interpretation from tofay as water color (and thus for an image alt text use the one of the first image). The original image was printed on 70x70 cm canvas, the second one is tiny. The fake water color is no AI style transfer.

Description by ChatGPT: The image is a fantasy 3D render of a menacing dark knight standing in front of a cursed fortress. The knight is clad in ornate, heavy armor with spiked pauldrons adorned with skulls. His hooded face glows with piercing red eyes, and his dark presence is amplified by chains, tattered fabric, and an eerie aura.

He wields a massive, jagged sword with glowing runes etched into the blade, which appears worn from countless battles. In his other hand, he grips a gruesome shield decorated with bones and dark metal engravings.

The background showcases an ancient, decayed fortress, its stone walls cracked and weathered. Above the massive entrance, a giant stone skull is carved into the architecture, with rows of glowing torches lining the path leading inside. The ground is a cobblestone path littered with bones and skulls, bathed in a dim, eerie golden light.

The surrounding atmosphere is misty and ominous, with hazy fog swirling around the knight’s feet. The fortress looms like a cursed relic, exuding a sense of dark magic and forbidden power. The knight’s stance suggests he is either guarding the entrance or preparing for battle, a harbinger of doom in a world of darkness.

Description by ChatGPT: The image is a stunning 3D render inspired by Star Trek: The Original Series. It features the iconic starship USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) gliding through a dark and dramatic scene. The ship is shown from the rear-right angle, emphasizing its saucer-shaped main hull, cylindrical warp nacelles, and the cylindrical secondary hull connecting the components. The nacelles emit a soft red glow from their domed caps, contrasting with the cold blackness of space.

Below the ship, golden and orange-hued clouds stretch across the scene, illuminated by a bright light source, likely a rising sun or some other celestial phenomenon, creating a sense of warmth and majesty. Above, the background transitions to deep space with a large, shadowy planet visible in the distance, its surface tinged in rich blues. Scattered stars dot the sky, adding to the vastness of the cosmic setting.

The lighting on the Enterprise is subtle but highlights its sleek, retro-futuristic design. The scene captures the spirit of exploration and wonder central to the Star Trek universe, combining the beauty of natural elements with the advanced technology of the starship.

Chipp Walters released Simple Sketch Pro, a new NPR renderer based on the new Blender 4.3 Grease Pencil, as a Beta for his Patreons. Of course I had to test it with one of the most iconic spacecrafts ever. :) Just threw it in, a few minimal settings tweaks for line thickness.

Looks great, what do you think?
