ROCKETSHIP FRIDAY
It’s Rocketship Friday, and as you can see we have some extra special Rocketship artwork today. You may have seen the artist Jande, “J.S.” Rowe’s work on her webcomic Aedre’s Firely, or maybe noticed her contributions to the comments section here on Space Base 8. This Spaceship is named The Rusty Cow. “She’s an interplanetary cargo scow I hope to incorporate into my Wheeler’s Orbits comic, which is on the boards for about 5 years from now, if I have it figured right.” personally, I can’t wait 5 years to see this comic. I’ll have to send Oril out into the future to check it out. Thanks, Jande, for a fantastic piece that I’m sure everyone will love!
RAY GUNS! ROBOTS! ROCKETSHIPS!
It’s Ray Guns on Monday, Robots on Wednesday, and Rocketships on Friday here at Space Base 8.
I want to feature your sci-fi art on Space Base 8! Email me your Raygun, Robot, or Rocketship art and I will post it in the blog for all the Space Base 8 readers to see. A sketch, a sculpture, a photo, whatever! Just as long as you made yourself. If you have a great Ray Gun, Robot, or Rocketship toy you want to share, that would be fun too! Email spacebase8@gmail.com, and include a picture as a jpg or png file, your name, and your website URL if you have one. We look forward to seeing your contributions!
Did you know that there is a Space Base 8 book now available? It’s called Space Base 8 Book 1: BLAST OFF! It collects the first year and a half of comic strips from Space Base 8. You can get a printed book, a signed artist edition complete with personalized sketch, or an ebook version. Click BUY THE BOOK in the menubar above the comic, or just click here to get your copy.
Very nice! And I love the way you can see the lights on the dark side of Earth.
Thank you, Eric!
My husband was worried that those lights might not be realistic enough. Thanks for letting me know you like them!
A delightful piece! It makes me smile. 8^) Great lighting and I love the name – “The Rusty Cow”.
Full disclosure: I’m Jande’s eOe partner, Mal. I think her artwork rocks. 😀
Thank you, Mal! I was going to call her “Rusty’s Scow” (Rusty’s the captain), since she’s just a beat up space-pocked old garbage scow.
I’m always happy to make you smile, sir. <3
I TOLD you guys it was great! 🙂
Dave, thanks for posting this. Doesn’t it look lovely on your pretty website?
Sorry for the late response, but I’ve been away for over a week.
I don’t often get to indulge my Sci-fi Geekness these days, so I really had some fun making this one.
Wow, that planet earth is amazing! Would definitely love to read more of your scifi.
Thank you! I was really proud of that planet.<3
I don't really write Scifi, but more Science-Fantasy. Wheeler's Orbits is episodic humour that follows a couple of friends who try to get their own business off the ground (heh) in the highly competitive Space Haulage industry. Hilarity ensues, since Capt' Wheeler has more attitude than altitude (sometimes literally).
I'll be working on a second draft of one of the five Sci-Fantasy novels I've written (not a WO book)–first pass to be finished by Oct.31 this year. After that? Who knows. Thanks again for your interest. :`)
That looks epic!
Thanks so much, danineteen! :`)
