helium-3

helium-3 published on No Comments on helium-3

helium-3 is theoretically useful for nuclear fusion (instead of fission), a technology which still isn’t yet viable, and even if it becomes so, it might just be cheaper and easier to build a bunch of solar panels and batteries on earth than set up a mining operation on the moon. still, it makes for a neat science fiction concept, which is something i guess.

and yes, technically i just made a sequel to the comic “helium” called “helium-3”. hire me, microsoft.

new illustration mates! this one’s totally not autobiographical mum, i swear.

i like to try and use a different colour palette for each illustration and so i originally drew this in mostly cool blue colours, but it wasn’t really working so i eventually gave up and defaulted back to purple and pink again. i might put the original on patreon if anyone’s interested.

hey, astronomy comics! remember those?

apparently i’m committing to doing a series of comics like the moon ones at the beginning of sedna about all 8 planets, so we’re starting it off with nobody’s favourite planet, mercury. before you all roll your collective eyes though, i promise there’s a whole bunch of interesting stuff about mercury, so hopefully by the end of this little comic series you’ll all gain at least some appreciation for this particular ball of rock in space.

(this comic contains an easter egg that tells you when i drew it. i wonder if anyone will notice.)

we did it mates! 100 comics! that’s almost 0.006% of the number of peanuts strips! thanks everyone for supporting my now three-digit-long space comic strip series. hopefully i’ll manage to stay alive and not amputate my right hand for long enough to bring you at least 900 more.

unfortunately i have to start updating sedna only 2 times/week from now on (tue + sat), as 3 isn’t a sustainable pace for me except maybe as a full-time job, and the only reason i’ve managed it so far was due to my massive buffer. but i’m sure you’ll all forgive me.

…you will, right? O_O;

illustration day mates. this one’s inspired by the book ‘the time machine’ written in 1895 by h. g. wells. of course, in the book the time traveller goes 800,000 years into the future, not 66 million years into the past, but in this version dini is the time traveller so what else would you expect?

i hate this illustration. it’s so complicated i procrastinated on it for months because i wasn’t confident i could do it. then when the deadline was getting close i spent day after day drawing, redrawing, tweaking, and redrawing again, trying to get it to work. i’m still not 100% happy with it but i’m gonna stop here so i can have my life back.

i love drawing ako. she’s about 50 million times easier to draw than actual mars rovers (no offense percy, but you’re just so stupidly complicated).

hey, does anyone else feel an unbearable urge to go watch wall-e for some reason, or just me…?
