Star Control 2... my favorite game in the early 90s. At UCLA, I had college football players begging me to play it on my computer.

On an Isel homeworld, the Junk Heap visits a Historical Cavern to read a vital piece of information. With the Isels' permission, they record the history written on one of their History Crystals, translated by their guide. This history, about a star system called "Brimstone" ended up being populated by species who have a strong affinity for burning hot worlds. This also reveals an interesting piece of information on why the Mycon have been fewer in numbers(during the Starship Junk Heap timeline, 100 years after the Sa-Matra was destroyed): Something the Isel took part in called "Operation Ice Age".
Merry Christmas! One of my Christmas gifts is a Huion Inspiroy art tablet, and picked this sketch from 2024 to digitize and try the tablet out!

A procedurally-generated field of stars of different sizes and shapes, with constellation lines programmatically drawn between them. One of them is highlighted with a dark cyan outline around its distance-bounded Voronoi circle and labeled as "β Crateris, size 111 blue supergiant star in Sector 0206".
Hit a bit of a brick wall with the panel puzzle game, so I got to work on a little B-project inspired by an old 1993 game by Fred and Paul of @pistolshrimpgames.com. Making this was surprisingly complicated. Does this count as #fanart?

@aptshadow.bsky.social I liked the Final Architecture series enough to use it as the setting for my next #ttrpg campaign. The last one was #starcontrol2, so you're in good company. Here's an essiel I drew for when I introduce them to my players.
UFO 50 splash screen displayed on the RGB30, a mint green gaming handheld vaguely resembling a PS vita or something like that
Free Stars: The Ur-Quan Masters splash screen on the RGB30
Celeste Pico-8 on the RGB30
Got myself a used #POWKIDDY #RGB30 #RK3566 #RetroHandheld as a VERY belated birthday gift for myself! People seem to largely get this type of device for retro emulation but I am just as excited for #portmaster and #pico8 in a handheld form factor!

I heard Star Control II was an amazing experience, and found this open source update to it called The Ur-Quan Masters. A simple "sudo apt install uqm" on the Raspberry Pi 500+ and it was ready to play!
I love this machine so much. Excited to play this!

Meet Reep-Jeep(or RJ for short), an exile from the main Yehat homeworlds. He was exiled because he was born with a malformed wing... which is unfair, because he is rather young, but has the heart of a warrior. He went to Beta Wolf to find refuge in a place that accepts exiles, and he fit right in. He is (nearly)unshakable.
First time drawing a Yehat, and of COURSE it's an FC!

"This is my favorite hat... used to be Jessie's hat, but she's given it to me." Might color this later, since I like the doodle.

A handmade plush of my Melnorme fancharacter, Lavender. She's made with various materials that I reclaimed, mostly articles of clothing that either do not fit or are unwanted. So it's hard to say EXACTLY what materials she's made of, lol. Additional notes: No sewing machine was used in the creation of this plush, it's ALL sewn by hand! I also did NOT use or even MAKE patterns for this plush either, because when my mind's set to making a plush like this, I usually have a good idea of how it'll turn out when it's finished.
Second photo, this time a close up(include my hand for scale). You can see the additional embroidery I did for the eye, mouth and freckles. As always, embroidering the freckles was a HUGE pain in the neck! But I AM happy with how the embroidery of the teeth and around the eye turned out.
Three days well-spent! And zero sewing machines used!

Doodlepile of my Umgah fancharacter, Beeb'Ob. With additional info that may or may not be readable, because I used an older phone to snap these with.
And a bonus Bab-Beeb'Ob(get it?) doodle that I might color up later.
Beeb'Ob doodles for your viewing pleasure!

Rusty and Penny have a minor “rivalry” between them, but that’s for a good reason: Penny used to be a part of a rather vicious group of space pirates. What Rusty has not come to acknowledge(yet) is that the rest of that pirate crew is dead and Penny’s the only remaining member of that crew left. But hold on, how does Rusty know Penny was a part of that pirate crew?? It turns out that Beta Wolf was actually pilfered by that pirate crew, but he never saw Penny in the group that robbed the village of valuable goods. So Penny has to remind Rusty that she’s no longer a pirate and that she has come to regret being that way from when she was a rather young woman. Penny does tease Rusty, but this is (semi)friendly teasing, but Rusty does NOT like it when Penny does this!
Penny, get your hands off of me!!

Tried something different with this particular piece: color only background. I imagine that a Melnorme ghost would take on the color they’re named after. In the case of Lavender’s dearly departed mother, Rose-Red, a rosy shade of red. Apart from adoring her daughter’s handiwork and being proud of her, what is Rose-Red’s ghost doing here? Surely, she has something important to say, right?
What IS Rose-Red doing here, anyway?

BIG update to the Melnorme Headcanon doc! I'm clearly having too much fun writing about this species.

Comic wherein voluptuous corn snake naga Cassilda Lamarck holds a 3D-printed model of a Spathi Eluder on a tray. She comments that there was no Star Control 3, because she doesn't consider it canon (an opinion shared by many others). However, a big nerd corrects her in a condescending way, and gets the Eluder model thrown in his face.
Cute wholesome snek waifu Cassilda Lamarck has strong opinions about the Star Control franchise, so when a big nerd butts in to be condescending, he gets more than he bargained for!

Really gonna try to make a stupidly long thread this weekend about how much I LOVE #StarControl2 this weekend just because of how negative I've been about specific people in the community
I could talk for hours about every little detail, just a podcast of me rambling incoherent.
Rusty-Red(Melnorme with tripolomassia), Beeb'Ob(Umgah), Sergeant Plibnik(Spathi), Patinzo(Wolpertinger-like fan species of mine, the Isel) and Mugsy(another fan species, the bio-floral Mosch), grouped together, possibly greeting a client. Since these friends have grown attached over the course of the time they worked together, they assumed the name the "Cargo Bay Boys", because of their line of work in cargo moving. Rusty's tripled body mass helped him become quite possibly, one of the universe's strongest Melnorme, while Patinzo(named because of his tin-gray coloration) is also New Isella's strongest Isel. Beeb'Ob and Plibnik's jobs are to ensure that there is no missing cargo stolen by others they are delivering their cargo of refines metals and other valuable resource units. Mugsy is typically close by, because Mosch are natural power generators and, if wearing it, powers a suit Rusty wears sometimes, either to enter planets without air, high pressure or extreme temperatures. One thing they have in common; They're very friendly and always greet their clients.
Who do you call when there's some heavy cargo to unload? The Cargo Bay Boys, of course!

Captain Madolyn Michael, daughter of Captain John Michael and Syreen Penelope. Madolyn(or just Maddy) takes over her father’s role with no small amount of pride. Plus, to keep the theme of the Junk Heap having had cats onboard the ship, Maddy got some tattoos of cat prints.
Commander Sage-Green, Inventor Lavender’s son. Regardless of being the first child born into the Junk Heap, Sage does not believe that he is good Captain material. He’s fine with being the Junk Heap Legacy’s commander and chief machinist. While he radiates his mother’s sassy, sarcastic and machine savvy ways, he also shows his father’s polite and professional demeanor. As to who Sage’s father is, that’s top secret!
‘Bout time I did some references for the children of the Junk Heap crew, starting with the Captain and her faithful Commander!

An Ilwrath fancharacter of mine named Saffron. I names her Saffron, mainly because there was another Ilwrath Captain named Taragon, the name of an herb I knew of. So why not give her the name of another herb that sounds Ilwrath-ish? This particular Ilwrath was elusive all the years that the Ur-Quan war took place, having fled her homeworld before the Ilwrath fell for the voices of “Dogar and Kazon”(which were actually the Umgah using a ‘caster to imitate the Ilwraths’ gods). Saffron knew this was a ruse(because who LAUGHS after making a command?), so she fled, using the excuse of “spreading the word” across the galaxy. She reappeared once the Alliance of Free Stars liberated the slave-shielded worlds. She remembers every detail of these events very, very clearly. I used a few creative liberties when designing an elderly Ilwrath High Priestess, such as the lightening of her spider hairs and a fancier top. With the additional flair such as the see-through skirt.
A sort of redesign of an Ilwrath FC named Saffron.

On the 23rd of March, I lost a beloved family pet, so naturally, I had artblock as a result. I feel a lot better, now that I have had time to grieve, pray and so on. So tomake up for the artblock I’ve had since the 23rd, have a quickie of Rusty. He’s enjoying a seafood rice platter(as much as Rusty likes spicy food, this platter is not spicy), and a seafood pizza. Big guys like him have to eat!
Big guy’s gotta eat!

Based on the “Don’t Cry, Little Monster” meme that’s been circulating recently, a Floyd model robot is trying to feed baby Rusty-Red another sachet of carrot purée. It may be over feeding the poor baby, because this Floyd might have a defect.

Lavender and her son Sage-Green. When Lavender felt better, she quickly got to work on making things that would help keep her son close by at all times, while also allowing her to return to work as soon as she recovered. She's taken being a first-time parent very, very seriously. This would explain the carrier that she would wear to carry her son around. Whenever she got mad, Sage would hide himself in the carrier to block out his mother's yelling(when she got mad at her underlings), then come back out when she lowered her voice. Lavender's carrying a fuel cell for one of her devices, in case you're wondering what she's got.
Uh-oh, Mama's mad!
