Eternity 3: Planet Eye

[kardashev]

Haven't done any art in some time. But today I got an urge to do a picture. I don't know what possessed me to make this. But the idea is of a planet-sized eye floating in space with an odd formation of stars in the background. After looking at what I made, I figured it fit in with two previous works from here and here. My guess is that the Eye is a

I wish I could do art. Specifically science fiction planets, because I'm into that stuff, but any sort of visual art would be nice.

I would also like to make a custom banner for a new blog I'm working on, but that'll never happen. Unless I take a photo and crop it, but I don't have any good photos to use.

lol so do I, tbh. By my own standards, the stuff I make is pretty much crap.

What sort of blog is it? Is it thematic or more generalized?

Well, I actually don't need a banner now, since after fighting with the stylesheet for a couple of hours I got what I wanted, and now I have a nice picture courtesy of NASA to use as a background. Sorry if I got your hopes up.

As for the content itself, it's aimed at being more of a "professional" blog, one that I can use to advertise my writing skills and hopefully land a job somewhere. I'm told they're somewhat necessary in this day and age. So I'm looking at discussing writing, whether it be in press releases, novels, or what-have-you. But being a libertarian, it will also incorporate a bit of libertarianism (I actually just wrote a post connecting Fringe with Frederic Bastiat.) And there's going to be a lot of science fiction, since that's another big thing. So it's really a nexus of libertarianism, writing, science, technology, with a dash of humanism on the side (and scorn and ridicule aimed at Shakespeare and Strunk and White), with as much humor as I can muster

Gee, i even think i can see some gravitational lensing behind. That eye must be really MASSIVE!

Good job indeed.

[kardashev]

Why thank you. Although I must admit, any gravitational lensing effects are accidental rather than intentional. That's just the way the digital airbrush and tinting effects came out.

[abomvubuso]

Something the best things happen by accident.

[kardashev]

You know, I just had a weird thought. Maybe the gravitational lensing might not necessarily be from enormous mass of the eye. It might be that the eye generates a "warp drive" effect to propel itself through space at relativistic speeds.
