I am becoming more and more obsessed with post-WWII social criticism and its intersections with left-leaning 50s science fiction.

Ch 9 Nbr 17 — Other than writing, what's your go-to creative outlet?

Photography. You can check my feed. I called it my short form until I decided I could write short short stories. I also have a site where I sell them.

2405.17 — Have you ever written for other age groups? (MG, YA, A)

My publisher pegged me as a YA writer. Lately, I've been pushing the envelope to adult in general, and in particular writing an erotic fantasy as one of the WiPs. It can all change in revision, of course...

#PennedPossibilities 317 — What clothing materials or outfits feel the most comfortable to your villain?

She was arguably a villain, and she got a thuggish prizefighter to try to kill the MC. She also tried to help a coup d'etat in the mob, which failed. The MC meet her in an alley when the MC dissed her gang boyfriend and she tried to slit her throat. The MC took away her ivory handled jackknife, which becomes a character by itself in later stories. She goes by the moniker of Mustang, maybe because like the car she's unsteerable?

She's described as

"The women looked overly girly in garish reds or pinks, with matching makeup and bracelets, except for a buzzed-cut blonde tanned woman [Mustang] who wore brass stud piercings. (Didn't brass have lead in it...? Poisonous... Oh, never mind.) It worked; she looked tough, more so maybe than her gold chain-wearing boyfriend in a white tee shirt."

We're talking cotton here. Cheap. She's wearing something tight and black around her hips.

Started a new SDF modeling project in MagicaCSG.

It's going to be a sci-fi drone. More updates will follow tomorrow.

Sci-fi drone modeling progress, using the MagicaCSG SDF 3D editor…

Added guns, because dystopian sci-fi is realistic sci-fi. 😏

Watch this thread for updates.

Sci-fi drone design update…

We're getting somewhere. Started adding details to make it look fancier.

Love the non-destructive nature of SDF modeling. It enabled me to completely change the grill without any pain.

More'll follow tomorrow. Check other posts in this thread for more WIPs.

Sci-fi drone design update…

Added a few more little widgets to finish the model.

I think this time I'm going to export the model to Blender for rendering with Cycles. MagicaCSG includes a great path tracing renderer, but it lacks textures.

Science-fiction surveillance drone design.

Modeled and rendered in MagicaCSG, Post-processed in PhotoScape X.

I was too lazy to port it to Blender and add textures, and I think MagicaCSG's renderer did a fine job again.

See other posts for WIPs.

Couldn't resist creating a slightly weathered version of my sci-fi drone. A little bit of dust and dirt gives more character to a machine.

See other posts in this thread for more drone impressions.
