EXPLORER ONE
My flagship scifi project is Explorer One. It is the near future and something strange is happening at Jupiter that is impacting the orbit and axial tilt of our planet. Left unchecked, this will have devastating consequences for life on Earth. NASA sends its prototype interstellar capable spacecraft Explorer One to investigate.

OCCUPATION FORCE 2079
This was a sequel to content I created on Lonely Outpost and where humanity establishes outposts in the asteroid belt and Jovian Moons. And fights over them. Below are the canonical characters Madi Kelly and Aura Anders and I am picking up where I left off in their fight for freedom in the outer solar system. And the addition of a new team member, the ancestress of the McEndicott sisters from Star Command...

BEACON
Ideas. I have them. Too many, I think. Whether they are good or not, I will leave to you to decide. One idea was prompted by the pen-and-paper solo scifi RPG Beacon. Game play has the player discovering keywords which the player, at game end (provided they are not sucked into a black hole (in the game)), uses to craft a message from the a spaceship in distress. Specifically, said player is to compose narrative. Something I do a lot of so it seemed like a perfect match for me. Did that yesterday (22 December 2024) and this is something I will continue. Both the game and the adventures of Sarah Mannheim and Erika Audsdottir (who were created for the narrative), who are part of the (Classic) Star Command universe, although they are not naval officers like the heroes of that series.

STAR COMMAND EPOCH
Star Command was the reason I came to DeviantArt: With the intention of creating AI art to accompany my narrative. Star Command is a turn based strategy RPG from 1988 (for MS-DOS, horrendous graphics by today's reckoning, but fun gameplay. The game has no named characters (create your own) and all of the official art was male based. I took the framework of the game and expanded on it significantly and added women. Both as heroes and villains. I have written several storyarcs, the latest of which is Epoch, which I am covering here. You may see some missing chapters. I am tightening up the narrative, presenting it here in a (hopefully) more engaging narrative.

My Bio
Me
I do appreciate those who see value in what I do. Without the support of some very special people, I would not be here. I have run contests (with actual point prizes) in my group AI-Art-Shieldmaidens and I am an admin (aka as cofounder) for the official DeviantArt AI group:
What I Do
Mostly scifi and fantasy photorealistic art with recurring characters / OCs. Many of the images have accompanying narrative. Telling stories is why I go into art in the first place. My focus moving forward is going to be on narrative art.
Am I a geek slash nerd?
Yes. @Thekobs has said so and that is good enough for me. She is also correct.

CITADEL
Citadel was my original fantasy world. After the first story arc, I added goblins and that gave birth to one of my most popular OCs, the goblin Blenke. The Citadel storyline leapfrogged at times and eventually Blenke becomes Queen of the Medieval Fantasy city, the last bastion of freedom in a world dominated by the power of Blackmoor and the tyrants Martina and Broisx. Blenke defends Citadel against the would be conquerors but something happens. A lot of somethings. The story continues in Citadel Epoch and the elaboration of those somethings in Citadel Epoch Prologue.
Citadel Epoch Content:

THE LIA FORMULA
Inspired by the brilliant and intelligent artist @Liathlotus ... the formula assigns a rating where:
Favourites
Rating = ____________
Views x 1000
Which may be a more useful metric than the sheer number of favourites that a deviation receives. I have calculated this for the top three dozen of my deviations (which have received 100+Favourites).
Note: The table below is a little out of date. The images above are current as of 10 January 2025.
Key to colors:
Purple Deviation posted during a six week period in the Winter of 2024 when DeviantArt experienced higher user activity. As described here.
Green Deviation was a Daily Deviation winner.
Red Deviation was my first deviation to earn 100 favourites after the Winter of 2024.
Black Deviation posted after the Winter of 2024.
Perfection... so I'm told!
