    Sunday Science: We’re back!

    I know I had fallen off with the weekly Sunday Science, but we are back, baby!  And this week, I want to start something a bit different than what I had been doing.  Universe Today is a great site, and we will surely go back there, but I just found the amazing Bill Nye (yes, the science guy!) and he has some really cool videos that I want to share.

    This week’s Sunday Science is topical, as the Juno Earth Flyby just happened a few days ago.  Let’s listen in as Bill explains what it’s all about.

    I would highly recommend subscribing to the THNKR channel. Lots of good stuff on there people. Remember, get your kids into science early. Our future depends on them!

  • Issue 2 sneak peek!

    I wanted to give you guys a quick look at some of the concept art for Issue 2 of Suzi.  You can see that it’s the same old, same old for poor Suzi.
    I have some more articles that I will get scheduled this weekend, and I will discuss more about the creative process of how I took Suzi from concept to creation.

    You can see the original art on the left, it is a fairly plain angle.  I was focused more on scale, lighting and the lightning bolt effects more than the drama of the scene. Once I was able to get the colors and tone, as well as all the visual fx elements in place, I think went back and looked for the more dramatic angle.  The first issue of Suzi was a great learning experience, but I think I was so focused on the technical side of the work, that I missed opportunities for more dramatic angles.  I don’t regret this, as I did my best with what I knew.  The old saying “You only know what you know” applies in art as well we life.  This is why I am really looking forward to Planet of Peril.  I get to use everything I learned from Issue 1 as the base to build on.  It’s going to be alot of fun.

    Until then, enjoy some of the alien power that Suzi will encounter!

  • What a ride!

    Well, the last page of Issue 1 goes up this Tuesday (Sept 24, 2013 for those of you in the future!)

    I have learned a lot about my art, my storytelling and the creative process during this trip.  I am going to take a couple of weeks off before I start posting Issue 2.
    You can always find me over at my blog, talking about this and that.  Stop on by and say hi.

    Things are going to get pretty cool for Suzi in Issue 2.  Maybe I will post a couple of panels to whet your appetite while we wait for the next book to kick off…

  • Busy busy busy!

    Working on a sci-rpg source book and website.  Things are going good here.  Suzi is still on track, and I don’t see any delays with her.  I just haven’t been able to keep up the secondary posts here like I would like, but that will pick back up this fall.  I will have a ton of projects going live in Sept-Oct, so things are getting hectic!

  • Something different

    I wanted to do something a bit different than the usual Suzi pinup.

  • Sunday Science: Remember those knowledge crystals from Superman?

    Sunday Science: Remember those knowledge crystals from Superman?

    Well, looks like a team from the University of Southhampton’s Optoelectronics Research Center and Eindhoven’s University of Technology have created such a thing.

    They were able to create the first document that will outlast the human race.  Using laser’s and a storage structure that  consists of self-assembled nanostructures within fused quartz, the team copied 300kb of data to an object that can withstand temperatures up to 1,832 Fahrenheit.

    What’s more, this new structure is capable of holding up to 360tb of data.

    Wow.

    And that is just the start.  Where will this technology be in 5, 10 or even 15 years?  Imagine, the entire sum of knowledge of the human race can now exist long after we are gone.

    Let’s just make sure it’s not all cat videos and Jersey Shore reruns…

    Go check out the article here,  and ponder the implications of this breakthrough.

  • Out of this world!

    Now here is a sports car that Suzi can get behind!

  • Suzi in a RPG?

    I have been looking at Slipstream from Pinnacle Games as a setting for some Suzi Quazar game action.

    If you are into role playing games, you can’t go wrong with the Savage Worlds game system and settings.
