Fun commission project I just finally finished, a Starfleet-styled TARDIS! Inspired by Voyager and DS9, with a full set of custom LCARS stickers.

Only have 3 more commissions until I'm done with all my orders from last year :) Next up is the 1:4775 scale Covenant Assault Carrier!

This is so awesome

I thought about it, definetively the entire trailer has TV show lighting. Maybe it's as simple as that.

I feel it in particular with the mantellian savrip and the alien that talks to Grogu. For some reason they remind me more of the Gorn from SNW than something I would expect to see in a Star Wars movie.

I don't know why, but the aliens in The Mandalorian & Grogu feel off to me. I don't know what it is. I don't believe it's the CGI, although maybe the fact that the past 5 Star Wars movies have avoided CGI aliens so much make them feel like TV show aliens in my mind.

Just imagine for a moment if it actually was the first movie in color and nobody knew coming in the theater.

I believe Tony Stark and Maverick would be the only two characters that are positive and US born characters in that video.

Particularly funny that many characters in that video are characters that were not born in the US or directly villain/criminal characters.

That grounded, gritty movie with a nazi monkey.

This makes me so happy! Can't wait to see your work on this!

For some reason this 20% Discount is still going on at Only-Games. So in case you missed it, check it out before it ends. I have no idea when that will be.

When you think about it, Wedge Antilles is the Original Glup Shitto.

He is the first background character that any mainstream audience wouldn't remember that appears in something else that fans would say "Hey! That guy is back! He is my favourite!"

Part of me wonders how Disney animation would have gone if Sleeping Beauty was a hit and 101 Dalmatians wasn't as much. After that point the studio leaned too much on funnier, hip, smaller movies with xerography animation. I would have loved to see this epic and gorgeous side of the studio flourish.

You even made ligatures and catchwords! I love this.

That is so amazing. I could stare at all those logos for hours. I particularly love the rebel, imperial, naboo, etc logos and that you made two different sets of question marks.

That's a wonderful font.

It's cool to see you working with Louie Mantia Jr. I've loved his work for about 15 years.

First in the crawl and in the special edition Palpatine mentions it.

As long as they don't mention the Death Star, It'll be safe until the Starfighter movie.

You can make a Venn diagram of Theatrically Released Star Wars movies with:

_Movies that mention the Death Star
_Movies where Darth Maul appears
_Movies where Rotta the Hutt appears

You will have every movie and none of the circles will touch.

I'm still surprised, considering how much Star Wars stuff Disney is producing in the last 10 years, with so much nostalgia for the Original Trilogy, that there is barely any stories (outside from the comics) during the original trilogy.

got my new X-wing minis in the mail - crafted by the very talented @melminiatures.bsky.social and purchased from only-games.

looks like there was a little bending in transit but nothing broken, im super happy with the detail and quality on these - cant wait to clean em up and get em painted! 😊

The bent parts are very easy to fix with no risk. Get warm water, sink them for a minute and you will be able to bend them straight with ease.

I always have a tough time with luminosity, I always get them brighter than they should.

I'm also bad with blue hues. Even when I see the result I think I got pretty close but get a bad score.
