I was playing around with a sunset photo I had taken, when I got the idea for a planet similar to Earth, populated with humanoid type creatures who find something to grumble about regardless of the situation. Their conversation might go something like: I can’t believe it Zhrikplatth, that’s the third time this Dasnuba that the skyhop has been late. Keep your veins in, Krryp, at least we can enjoy another methane sunset while we wait.

This is what I feel like some mornings when I board the crowded train to the city!

/ “Phew! Thank goodness I caught up with you; I thought I’d missed the mail run.” Akkermesh grinned with relief as he skilfully flipped his letters into the snail box. Another gentrime, would have been too long to wait for the return trip. “You are lucky, slurped the snail, another three pecsureps and I would have been through the gap. Many Red orbits to wait for my return, had you not caught me in time.” In ages past, on their once unpolluted crystal planet, Kryx, communications had advanced from wires to wireless over a few short gentrimes. Scientific developments soon allowed sub-atomic particle encoding quark transfer possible. Nothing faster, or more reliable than transfer at thought speed, they had surmised. It even made light, pedestrian by comparison. They were correct regarding the speed, but quite wrong re the reliability. Then, quite by accident, they stumbled upon snail mail….:)

The plan worked to perfection, Breehemoth, unleashed his pneumatically assisted whipper arm and plucked Zola from the air. The shock on Zola’s body was immense, his eyes bulged and his sausage roll super thrusters, deprived of much needed airflow, whined in protest. He was fast losing consciousness. The red world blurred and greyed at the edges and all sound receded in a rapidly closing mental fog. The Breehemoth opened its jaws in delight and cast victorious glance down at Zola, no more would these free flyer, cliff-dwellers, disrupt operations at the hill. His last thought was a brief concern as to the whereabouts of Zola’s partner, Gorgon. The distraction had worked, The excitement registered by the Breehemoth, had momentarily diverted power from its dome shield and Gorgon punched through the soft tissue, his internal processors and deft pink fingers worked at light speed, to sever and remove the Breehemoth’s core controller –its brain. Zola dropped from lifeless fingers, his motors roared into life on auto pilot and took him up to a safe altitude, where he came round to see Gorgon next to him. Gorgon and Zola roared off into the red sky with cheesy grins plastered over their faces.

Bathed in fire, baptised in horror, / a new breed of death is born of the old, / A Mother resigned to her savage fate, / An alien child is death incarnate. (amazing what an old burnt out log can look like in IR huh?) DUE TO ADVERSE CROPPING WHEN PRINTING VIA REDBUBBLE I HAVE WITHDRAWN THIS FROM SALE. IT WILL BE RE-AVAILABLE ONCE I HAVE ADDED MY OWN FRAMING.

“Faster Mnlik, they are gaining on us!” “Keep your party hat on dear, they have forgotten to raise the landing gear on their “Beatle”.” Mnlik allowed himself a self-satisfied smile, while closing the right wing pod slightly to deflect them away from the cliffs. The Hihangers would not be happy if their city rest time was disturbed in any way. He need to maximise the downdraft and use the sweeping air currents through the gorge, to increase his advantage before Bloddk, realised his mistake and raised the legs. Bloddk would not win this year, Mnlik decided, his jovial headgear from the festivities belying his determination. Ever since the early transmissions from Earth all those millennia ago and the “Fab Four” had been popularised into local culture, the planet had changed. A change for the better he thought. In the old days, it was all work and no play. Public and even private displays of emotion were frowned upon. Not anymore, he grinned. The images, filtered through the space-time warp, were grainy, but enough data had arrived to let them know that they were not alone. The priests were wrong, there was life elsewhere after all. From what they could gather, they were humanoid like themselves and maybe “The one who had arrived” to tell them about immortality was also wrong… laughing and finding things funny was probably ok, and just maybe, winning a Beatle race would not consign your soul to hlekka for eternity. Their minds were opening, it felt good. “What are you smiling at, Mnlik?” questioned Frontalia, twisting her head to keep their pursuers in sight. “You know if you lose concentration in this gorge, we won’t make it ahead of them and there are rumours that the river snappers are back to their old tricks, so don’t get too close to the acid. “Relax darling, I was just thinking about how we carved their faces over the vector shields on our craft. They honour life forms, light years away, whom we will never meet. What matters though, is that the carvings remind us not to go back to the old ways.” They flew on in silence, both deep in thought, the race almost forgotten. In the background a song from Earth soothed their minds- ”...on and on, across the universe…”

I just found this very old photo of Peggy’s Cove,this was taken on Mariners World about 200 years ago. / Because of the violent storms generated by Nova Moon,it requires two lighthouses. / They do say except for the backdrop of the Scotia Mountains and the Nova Moon,this could be the original Earthly scene. I used Lucindawinds images “Tranquility” and “The Reason for Lighthouses”. Alienvisitor’s Imagi – Nation .......................................................................................................... Here’s a How I did it.! I went to Lucindawinds page and viewed her art,the 2 I picked out were “Tranquility” and “The Reason for Lighthouses”. I then contacted her,got permission to use them and had her email high res. images. Software used Photoshop,Bryce 5.5,Artmatic Voyager. In Photoshop… I put both images on transparent backgrounds,In Tranquility I erased the most of the sky,in Lighthouses I removed everything but the rocks. I dragged the rocks onto the Tranquility image and positioned it in the lower quadrant. / Then I took a good look and saw in my minds eye what I needed for a backdrop and also the colors. Leaving the image on the right side of the screen,I opened my 3D rendering program Artmatic Voyager ( this is a Mac only program) / I then spent a couple of hours building and rendering an Alien Background. I always render at the highest possible resolution,on my machine that can take up to 6-7 hours,this one took 45 min. Closing the program and reopening the render in photoshop,I then dragged then dragged it onto the transparent layer. Now I needed lighthouses and I didn’t want to use the one in Lu’s image. So I opened Bryce 3D,and built myself 2 lighthouses,saving as psd transparent files. Back in Photoshop I dragged and positioned both lighthouses on the image. Then feathered and cloned all the edges of of the 5 layers until they were blended to my satisfaction. I then opened my filters and chose the “Old Photo Color” filter,tweeked,painted,erased the image then set the filter. It still needed something…FOG.. Opened a “Graduated Fog” filter adding just a little fog with the paint brush on the horizon,this also goes aways to hiding any harsh edges in that area. Almost done… Added a bit of brilliance to the image. Thats it…another fine alien creation. AV

I re-discovered this one way in the back of my portfolio! I think it deserves another moment in the sun. When it was uploaded to RB, Groups did not yet exist! My first “official” render with Vue 6 Esprit. Your standard alien landscape – easy to do because realism is not an issue :-) This 1680×1050px image took four and a half hours to render – this is due to the “depth of field” effect. Without it, it takes 14 minutes.

In the Tarantula Nebula,there is a planet just outside the orbit of the gas giant “Talon”.The planet is known by surfers across the Galaxy as “Evers Pipe” discovered by surfer/photographer Scott Evers,he surfed it himself for many years before opening it up to other surfers.When Talon rises the tides are huge, waves have being measured exceeding 120 meters,a long pipe run can last for up to 5 hours,so pack a lunch. This image is parts of 5 photos,a 3D rendering and work in photoshop.

Chameleo ripped himself from the cliff face, spun and fired all in one movement. They had found him, despite his best efforts to blend into the sheer rock precipice. It would be all action now. Ten thousand years he had remained undetected, while probing the depths of the cosmos using hyper meditative travel. His body had remained in suspended animation, while his mind floated freely, gathering information. He was just about ready… then this. What a time to get an itchy nose. That was all they needed…

The moon orbiting Kreliss II is so big that the early colonists named it Gigantus Maximus. / The moon is 5 times the size of the planet it orbits. Just one of the many strange sights greeting us beyond the hills of Earth.

When the night mist begins to flow across the valleys of the Sombra Range on Altis IV, legends say is the time for the Howlers to seek a mate. / The legends also say the Howlers were the the first sentinent race to settle this world. / Still who can really believe a few myths and legends, we all know humans were the first! “May you create well and prosper” Alienvisitor’s Imagi – Nation AV

In the orbit of the planet Blue Skies floats the supergate,it is 1 mile in diameter,and the short cut to the Andromeda Galaxy.

I was hoping for a nice tree picture but what i got strikes me very differently. It’s like a shot from another planet. The lens flare would normally have ruined it but the very nature of the flare and thestyle almost seem to add to the interplanetary mood. The pic is totally unmodified. I’d be interested in your opinion – have i been watching too much Dr Who or does it really have an air of the outer worlds?

Punching softly through the puffy clouds, the Whisper Craft roared into life at full power. They knew this last leg would be tricky and had hoped to maintain their surprise as long as possible, in order to catch to inhabitants at Face Mountain city, unaware. Now in the open, they had to risk all in a high speed swoop, before the defenders could respond. They had reckoned without Stumpy though. Stumpy, a survivor of a previous sneak attack, had sworn that they would not catch his city sleeping a second time. He had roamed the skies daily, since war had started. Now, it seemed, his endless hours in high altitude patrols, had been rewarded. His stump itched, but it didn’t worry him this time. He smiled as he flicked the switch on his photon disruptor and prepared to dive…

Stumpy was not alone in his defence of Face Mountain city. The AWCSS (Anti- Whisper craft Cloud Swallowing System), only recently tested, performed flawlessly. Fired from the ground, this mostly organic system, could reach great heights with amazing rapidity. Once a Whisper Craft was in range, it was consumed in seconds. The inhabitants of the airship, would not be harmed, but they would have to start new lives in different worlds, due to molecular realignment. The prototype had been tested in a parallel system and by all accounts, the Bermuda Triangle experiment had gone well…

On Outpost 94 in the planetary system of Carasenia the KXZ-7 Aero-Submersibles are being tested for speed, strength, agility, via liquid or space travel. When approaching liquid surfaces the crafts exterior openings close which externally create a likeness to the creatures living below the surface. / The density, movement affecting propelltion via liquid have been pushed to the limits and have been tracked up to speeds of mach 4. While in space a average of mach 9 is common for these small 4 man crafts. With this new technology the inhabitants will be well preparded for battles above or below and have a better postioning stance against invaders of any sort. . / . / . / Lisa C.

They couldn’t figure out why unmaned probes could make it through the atmosphere of the planet and bring back the most interesting pictures and samples but any ship with life on a level that could think was destroyed upon entry into the atmosphere.Very curious indeed. Very unexplainable. This oil painting was created Nov. 29 2006.

This is a window in Gecko’s house on Gecko Prime in the Lizard Nebula. / The house as a window portal. / When you look out the window there is an Alien Landscape,you could step through but what if you did and when you looked back the window had disappeared. / Remember some windows use one way glass. / Of course only Gecko knows about the glass and its too much fun not telling and watching the (fools) step through. This is a collaboration between Gecko and I under “Get your own planet”, The image used was Gecko’s “The Square Window”.

On the 9th planet in the Dural System,Deep in the Lukas Nebula,lies the world of Moore’s Retreat,first settled by Sarah Moore and her family just after the Galston Uprising. / It is a beautiful planet,and for much of the year pretty quiet.Much of the time taken up with such pursuits as gardening,art and photography. / But every year in the autunm when Galston Minor rises and brings about the storm of Fire Astroids,this is a time of much work and pleasure. / For with the coming of the astroids the Hot Fire Fungi Mini Mushe’s begin to grow,and it is only after 5 nights that the harvest starts.The harvest as to be done by hand,every mushi must be hand picked between the hours of 2-5 am,the dew can never to allowed to touch them. / Even the children help with the picking. / For once dew as touched the Fungi they become blackened and are highly poisonous. / Otherwise the are a great delicacy,this harvest is the very lifeblood of this world,with the immense profits the population can spend the rest of the year pursuing their hobbies. / Here we see the Fire Mushi’s growing even within walking distance of the Luna Park Towers which is where you go to buy Mini Mushes in downtown Kenthurst. / In the background we see the Sandpiper Hill’s, and of course Galston Minor. .............An excerpt from volume 78 of ” The Travels of Zorind Rakkmnn ”. This is a collaboration between Sarah Moore and I,under “Get Your Own Planet“ I used Sarah’s image’s “Luna Park Towers” & “Mini Mushies“
