Walker, Texas Air Ranger. (A Crimson Skies Joke)
"In the eyes of an Air Ranger
The unsuspecting stranger
Had better know the truth of wrong from right
'Cause the eyes of a Ranger are upon you
Any wrong you do, he's gonna see
When you're in Texas, look behind you
'Cause that's where the Air Ranger's gonna be" #crimsonskies

I'm escaping to the one place that propeller planes cant reach...
...*SPACE!*.

Slick. Yeah I couldn't resist getting some Battletech units into the mix to fill out the Mercs. Especially since BT had the Red Skulls and Blake Security Aviation in it. Seemed only fair.

Been getting back into painting models and minis with some #Battletech painting.
I mixed FASA's #CrimsonSkies with FASA's #Battletech to make my own custom crossover force... The Fortune Hunters, circa 3001.
Can't wait to put my merc force against the Battletech ACES scenario.
Someone mentioned the theme for The Texas Air Rangers in the Crimson Skies video, and I replied with the lyrics from the Intro to "Walker, Texas Ranger". Now the stupid thing is stuck in my head.

I think the last time I went to the Cineuma was before the plague.
No that wasnt a typo. #umamusume
A World War, two plague outbreaks, alcohol, political strife, and economic turmoil eventually leads to Zeppelins, pusher-prop airplanes and Air Piracy. This, is the world of #CrimsonSkies

Maniac? Kicked out for fighting while playing Hockey? Well I never.

Its Bismarck Launch Day, Teitoku.
Happy Bismarck Launch Day! (And nothing else). Just felt like breaking out the camera and lighting for a quick run while the computer is doing render duty again for the next video.
Yes I own this. No I wont say how much it cost. #kantaicollection #kancolle
New Ancient DOS Games episode uploaded and ready to watch! youtu.be/ADZKPcsbOX0
This morning I found out that the "Warriors of the Air" poster at the very end of #CrimsonSkies for PC has a much larger version uploaded by Mark Forrer (Dev Team Artist) on his Artstation.
The tiny display resolutions of 2000 did this no justice.

A fake screenshot from a point and click version of Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight
Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight but make it point-and-click instead.
I wouldn't know how to make pixel-art to save my life, so some photobashing, some fake pixelization and I at least managed to get something that resembles what I was picturing in my head.
Was recently commissioned to do a fancy render using assets provided by the Freespace 2 modding community

Lighting combined with Volumetrics in #Blender Cycles are no joke. #battletech #mechwarrior
I imagine at least one or two of them before a drop saying: "Oh boy, here I go killing again!".
Big Kev's Brigade in Crimson Skies.
When it came time to talk about the Mercenary Pirates in #crimsonskies, I thought it would be fun to use Merc groups from Battletech.
I had a set list of companies I wanted going in, but when I skimmed over Big Kev here, I was like "lol yeah, I'm using them". He just looks so happy in his decal.

I found an old Thrustmaster Flight Control Mk.1 Joystick in Value Village. It has no cable, I cant really use it, and its missing the WCS, but I felt compelled to buy it. Always wanted one as a kid anyway.
So while I'm stuck in render hell, I brought out the flashes and did some photography.
Yeah that was exactly me as a kid when I got it. When I heard the sound of a Tie Fighter go by for the first time, it scared me so hard that I immediately turned off the computer in fear. Fun times.

So I found out today that on this month, 33 years ago (HOLY F-), the original version of #StarWars: X-Wing was released on floppy. Which means I have an excuse to repost my own version of the X-Wing box cover art.

You know I was thinking the same thing about a local pizza place I enjoyed 10ish years ago. Back then their medium pizza & wings combo was like $30, but now it's well over $40 now.
Nowadays we just stick with the pizza.
I think some of them are in the Ironwind Metals catalog along with the base planes. No Phantasm though.

BAKUSHIN-themed Phantasm from Crimson Skies.
I should be rendering clouds in #Blender Cycles more often. #CrimsonSkies
I preferred the direction that Robert Hewitt Wolfe's was going in before he was ousted in the middle of season 2, and what we glimpsed in "Coda".
Funnily enough that was Babylon 5 and Space for me. Andromeda was far easier to find.
Andromeda Ascendant by morenostefanuto Rendering by Mac’s Lore
In the long ago of 2000 AD, Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda aired. And while it was obv made on the cheap, there was nothing like it.
Then it was killed off mid-Season 2 and replaced with another show using the same name, cast, and props as the one before. But still different from the old show. #scifi
Way back when I was covering The Second Shivan War from #freespace2 , I made up an old style boxing poster for when the Colossus faced off against the first Sathanas. I just found the image again on my phone.
