STRATONAUTICS VOLUME 1 RELEASED! What's in a turbine or canard that's so aesthetically intriguing? This zine doesn't have the answer to that question- but it does have some absolutely fantastic art by the best aviation artists I know!

My headcanon is that minecraft is about a marooned sailor in the 19th century. My evidence is that upon finding out that the christian hell is a real place which exists the character's first instinct and canon path of progression is to strip mine it for resources

people reacting to ""ai concept art"" by saying that using it for quick thumbnail sketches/idea generation makes me really question what people think concept art is for. What's the point of doing design exploration if you aren't fucking designing anything?

@Hanasaku_Yuri specifically the second point there, steampunk so rarely grapples with the staggeringly horrifying political/ideological situation in europe at the time. Steamboy is a standout example because the whole plot revolves around that conflict (also pants shittingly good designwork)

why even do variants of the same idea when the advanced guessing algorithm has no recollection of what it's already made? It can't meaningfully iterate, only shotgun out a bunch of the same fucking thing using the same parameters.
