Robotized Police 2100 - case at New Earth IV
Tumblr media
Pixel art for today based on videogame Metal Mech - Man & Machine for game console Nes 8 bit. It is a game about a robot. Shooter. About sci fi theme. Sci fi action. You can also to get out of a robot.
And this is my drawing about the same theme. Year 2100. Artificial satellite of Mars. New Earth – IV. It is going to the end last clashes with pirates and outsiders of galaxy. Pirate fleet is broken. There is no more smuggling.  And pirates has no income. Powers of outsiders are defeated. And they are pushed to the most distant asteroids of Kuiper belt.
All that powers of federation are required – it is to enter a robotized police. And eliminate rest of pirates and bandits. You are a pilot of a robot police. And you have landed at New Earth 4.  You are came here from Mars.
Tumblr media
Main aim – it is to search for leaders of pirates in every sector of a city. And eliminate. Also, to find the main from powers of outsiders. And eliminate too. It should be some cyborg.
Good news are came just about your arrival. Pirate fleet is run into mine field ahead of Mars. And was destroyed. Powers of outsiders are partially shadowed in Kuiper belt. As it was expected. But they have no resources.
At the New Earth IV it is still exists big syndicates and cartels from pirates and outsiders. So, with them you will have a thing. You are allowed to use rockets, machineguns, blasters. And everything you can to use.

Quote
Mr. Thomas's shithead kids were there, all three of them. The two sons, who were around the same age as my father, were crying, but his daughter is the one who stood out the most. She was stone-faced, staring at her father in his casket with an unmistakable look of contempt. She came up to my family as we took our turn viewing the body, and said to my mother, "He was a god-awful man, and I'm not sorry he's dead, but I am sorry you had to put up with him all these years, I guess.

Fun new kind of Dumb Protestant Question!
ie one asked for a friend who has no grounding in any Christian tradition and wants to not be disrespectful to Catholics or the Virgin Mary and fully expected very Protestant me to know the answer to her question!
But it is rather like the one I asked you about writing ficitonal miracles, and something like the one I asked about inventing ficitonal saints/orders so... here goes. My friend is writing a sicence fantasy book about an alternate history where, instead of a heavy Greek/gnostic influence on the early church there was a far, far greater Norst influence on the early church. Also there are plenty of fey/semi-supernatural beings about, and a pocket diminsion that is wrecking general havvoc. The church has a different name and such and having followed a different timeline. So in this alternate history there is an order of nuns, she is not quite setteld on their charter, but it is something like a focus on moral education. Imbuing the people around them with the concepts of forgiveness, hope, chairity ect, with the goal of guiding their souls heavenward. She is concerned about how she envisions the founding of this order. In the mythos of this world a (in universe very real) semi-supernatural being Freya is confronted (and redemed) by an apperation of the Virgin Mary. Freya then repents of claiming to be a god and focuses on leading souls to heaven, becoming the patron saint of the order of nuns in question. My friend is concerned that this set up might be...heretical? Blasphmous? Whatever the word is for an outsider meddling with holy ideas.
Anyway, as this kind of thing is essentially what the northern monks of the single digit centuries IRL did quite a bit, and there doing that is the reason we even have records of most of the Celtic and a lot of the Nordic myths, I didn't think it would be too terrible a transgression...but as I said, dumb protestant here. Care to drop in your two bits?
The way you describe it, this all sounds pretty fun and inoffensive.
Actually offensive would be 1. Attributing anything evil or imperfect to God, mocking or misrepresenting Him, 2. Setting Mary up as contrary to God or portraying her as sinful, 3. Misrepresenting/misusing the Eucharist or any of the other sacraments (see: the Catholic distress r.e. Brom Stoker’s abuse of consecrated hosts in Dracula), 4. Misrepresenting actual Catholic history, persons, and/or orders, mostly due to the black legends & anti-catholic sentiment that we have to deal with outside the realm of fiction already.
Having a semi-supernatural being who repents of her past sins and sets out in service to God is actually a very cool and pretty darn Christian idea. And given that this is already an alternate world/history story from the get-go, I’d say it sounds safe.

Dans ce contexte : l’échec n’est tout bonnement pas toléré !Coincée entre ses idéaux d’extermination des Kyoju et la réalité économique, l’entreprise compte sur Tetsuro et sa création pour réussir à tirer son éplinge du jeu !

Article (The flowering of the strange orchid)
Title: The flowering of the strange orchid. From plant sicence to victorian horror from a multidisciplinary approach [en]
Autor: Francisco Javier Sánchez-Verdejo Pérez & Jorge Poveda Arias.
Journal: BRUMAL. Research Journal on the Fantastic.
Date: 5/05/2023
DOI: https://doi.org/10.5565/rev/brumal.960
PDF: LINK
Abstract:
Plants are organisms whose great biological distance from humans has aroused cultural interest as powerful and/or dangerously unfamiliar creatures, especially during the Vic- torian period. «The Flowering of the Strange Orchid» (1894), by Herbert George Wells, tells how an orchid collector is attacked to near death by his latest acquisition. The plant attacks the human with its «tentacle-like aerial rootlets», like a vampire feeding on his blood. However, Winter Wedderburn is saved by his housekeeper, and the plant dies instantly. The story is written at a historical moment of great fascination with orchids and carnivorous plants. Literarily, the story has numerous comparisons to great characters, such as Medusa and her tentacles, Dracula, Carmilla, and even IT. At the same time, it is a story with a strong plant science content, dealing with aspects such as the mechanisms used by orchids to obtain nutrients, their flowering, the importance of «hunting» for the survival of carnivorous plants or the biology of parasitic plants. In conclusion, Wells’ story makes an important critique of the way man relates to nature using literary fiction and the cutting-edge plant science knowledge of his time.

Raid on robo black moon
Tumblr media
Pixel art. About screenshot from videogame Titan Warriors for NES 8 bit.
On one of the moon in the future rebels start to use secret weapon. They discover it during  excavations. Archeologist excavations shows secrets of civilization of the past. Which was based on this moon. Highly developed tech civilization. With big weapon arsenal just buried in sands. In very good condition. Rebel organization capture moon in its own hands. And start conflict with forces of planets federation.
Process is getting more difficult because of robotized army, that’s was buried from sands of moon. Automatized robo army. They can do themselves and controlled by rebels. Also it was discovered some evil, that was raised from pyramids of moon. Some demonic force is magnetize the rebels here, to this place form other planets. And all of them are in the hands of evil. Some figure in black, with no physical body, controls all the process on this moon.
You are the pilot of planets federation. And you have a task. Eliminate reels. Suppress demonic presence. Against you there are three forces. Rebels, rebel’s robots and demonic presence. All is in the name of the future of the moon, solar system and planets federation.
At first time nobody pays attention to pyramids that are made of black monolith on this moon. Everybody was very busy with familiarization of another planets of this solar system. With resources that planets federation have. But something evil was raised. And chain of things stars to happen. Rebels begin to appear. And they come to this moon form all the other planets.
As soon as this information come to planets federation. It was decided with maximum strong. It all was as shock hit. Very fast was moved to this moon big space forces. And only this way it was successfully done - stop the expansion of demon forces to other moons and planets in the solar system. But it was harder with rebels. They were surrounded on this moon. Most part of their forces. And now it is your turn - pilot.
Make a maximum raid over this moon, captured by demons, rebels and armies of robots of ancient civilization. Planets federation is counting on you.
Here also can be dinosaurs. Big reptiles from the past. They were raised from the sands of moon and they move against you. This figure in black - it is something like Darth Vader. Or one of the characters from Star Gate with name - Anubis. So this is a mix of science fiction and mystic. In format of shmup videogame like NES 8 bit style. I remember, that it is only pixel art today.
Also one more cool games - Terra Cresta, Zanac. I played them on NES 8 bit. And, mainly, all this material is under inpression from nostaliga about future science fiction action movies.

BINARY STAR
Volume 16 - Page 22
And with that incredibly ominous scene, Chapter 16 finally reaches its conclusion! Thank you all so much for reading! I really hope you enjoyed it!
Chapter 17 will begin on April 29. I know that's a long gap between chapters, but that's because I need time to pack and ship all the rewards for the BINARY STAR Kickstarter and finally, finally put together the single issues of chapter 14 and 15. After all, the next Kickstarter isn't too far off ^_~
On top of that, Chapter 17 is going to require, um... more complicated and demanding artwork than the last few chapters did. Let's just say... Chapter 17 is going to be an interesting one and I really, really hope you're looking forward to it because I've been waiting to finally work on the next chapter for quite awhile. I'll make sure to post some in-process teasers as soon as I start working on the new pages. Get hyped!
Thanks again, everyone! Love you all!!!
