  Unusual PerspectivesNov 29, 2011 12:36 AM PST | url
 
Added 1 new A* page:Crazy perspective aside, I had some fun with a few ink washy things on this page. I'd erased the desk a lot (and the figure, but not as much as the darn desk which didn't seem to want to sit right and still technically isn't but for some reason I liked it that way so whatever), to the point that the paper under it was getting sort of worn and knobby—so when I painted in that area, it easily gave the kind of scumbled look you usually only get with a very dry brush. And then I painted a dark-to-light wash across the left side, but thought I'd see if I could get actual drops of water to run along it if I held the page up sideways; I got one—I had to load it up pretty heavy—and for a while it was cruising straight toward Selenis' head; I was thinking I was going to have to dam it off with my hand when it very conveniently stopped above the terminal, where I smushed it into a nice big gray area. Ink wash is fun sometimes!

A friend tipped me off to a pretty cool time-lapse video of the Milky Way revolving over the Atacama Large Millimeter Array in the high Chilean desert, which came online earlier this year (I wrote about it last month); this video of some of the ALMA radio telescopes was made by José Francisco Salgado in June of 2010:

If you like that video you might also like the second one in this news post from September, which is taken from another array in Chile—the Very Large Telescope ("VLT").

Episode 14 will end next Monday, I think (toldja it was a short one)! So I gotta get started on the full final draft of the script for episode 15...which I think I'll do right after I'm done posting this.
