Thanks!  You've added some needed sunshine to my day 

Here's another picture testing a new turbo lift set.

Temperatures in your area seem on the rise though.
Does this character always look down/sidewards? Bit sneaky-looking if you ask me.

[Mylochka]

She does look like she's considering some deeply-laid plans, doesn't she? 

Here's Spock in the Sickbay Med Lab set I cobbled together.

Depending on which story you're talking about, Ruth and Del have often been sneaky. 

For the right reasons, of course. 

[Geo]

Of course.

[Valka]

Hey, saving people sometimes does require sneakiness. And it's not like anyone else was using that experimental shuttlecraft (the story in which Ruth, Jilla, and McCoy broke Spock out of the psychiatric hospital to cure him of his drug addiction).

[Mylochka]

.. And coincidentally, that's the story ("Sweet Fire") that I've just started working on illustrations for.  Kismet!

[Geo]

Oooh. Exhaust trails!

[Mylochka]

Yeah... Not accurate, but in a still image, the trails make a vehicle look like its moving.

[Valka]

Hey, it is a warp shuttle, after all! (just had a silly thought about adding a "Zoom!" caption to the picture...) 

[Mylochka]

Well, that would definitely indicate movement... 

When I'm working on illustrations, there are always a certain number of renders that I end up not using.  I thought it might be interesting to post some of the "alternate angle" pictures here.  In this one, poor Spock is in the early stages of the cordrizone addiction inflicted upon him by the evil alien who has taken control of Captain Kirk.  He's in the bathroom of his cabin splashing... or about to splash... water on his face and wondering why his life is suddenly reeling wildly out of control.

This illustration posed several challenges.  First, since we never actually see a bathroom in the series, I had to come up with a design.  Next, I needed a mirror prop to reflect Spock's distraught image.  The prop I used reflects nicely in the final render.  However, the reflection does not show up in the image previews.  Therefore I had to guess at the correct angle.  In this shot, I guessed wrong.

Have been working on more illustrations for the story "Sweet Fire."  The first part of this story takes place on the Enterprise.  I was looking forward to doing it because I assumed I wouldn't have to build any new sets... However, I've ended up replacing, rebuilding, or re-lighting almost every location I've used... I'm particularly happy with the new corridor set I downloaded and adapted for use with Poser and the new sickbay diagnostic room set I "frankensteined" together out of pieces from other sets.

MOAR!

[Mylochka]

Have been working on some moar... I mean, more "Sweet Fire" illos lately

The illustrations are illuminating  .
