The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
You may find when you’re speaking to the elements and night sky, the moon might seem to move in almost as if you caught its attention like anyone else who’s being addressed. Don’t expect it to not scrutinise you very closely and critically indeed in the harsh glare of its light, however.
Regular artist Antipus has recently just undertaken a multi-day trek across Brazil in order to relocate himself and his entire family, so in order to give him some time to regroup the original artist from the present iteration of Exiern, Studio Katsumi is stepping in for today in a piece inspired by Brett Neufeld of Marblegate fame.
The original remit was just to have a look at Exiern and make anything he liked. It was so good, we couldn’t not incorporate it into continuity. Studio Katsumi of course is of a comparable level of skill and as we know, a large amount of his work already makes up a considerable section of the archives and official continuity as it is.
Thank you for your patience and please note there will also be a special bonus page will be posted this Thursday before the return of Antipus next Monday.
The title of this page were from the Robert Heinlein science fiction novel of the same name as well as some design elements from one version of its cover.
That’s a great image
Had heard of that book, butt the only Heinlein book read (which ultimately put an end to almost all reading-for-fun) was “The Number of the Beast”, wonderful book, it just fundamentally altered how viewed the world and ‘fiction’
Checking old files, and came across a matching image of P-cups, almost a mirror of this one (this is night, the other day, Typh is on the right, P-cups is on the left {both looking left though…})
Assuming the relative size of the moon is similar to ours, about the size of the fingertip of an outstretched arm, if this was a photograph, it must’ve been made from quite a distance.
It’s more dramatic this way though!
Actually, plenty of photos of a similarly sized ‘super’ moon
Butt yes, more dramatic this way than showing a small white circle smaller than Typh’s head
There sure are, and as a bit of a moon-fan myself (lunatic?), I do love them. But I’m pretty sure they’re all made by zooming in, which in this case means some considerable distance from the person in front of it 🙂
No, not all of them, shots of a giant moon beyond trees is usually the most common
That’s no moon….
