Vk102’s Sketchbook (Commissions Open)

Hello again!! Just dropping by to let you guys know my comms are open! If anyone's interested, you can contact me through here: forms.gle/ESEtrLTqKvqYuf… Hope everyone have a great day!! #commissionsopen #illustrationart #illustrations #commissions #digitalartwork

Which would you choose?

@IsThisA3DModel @NatsukiShisui That looks amazing! What AI agent did you use?! /jk

we sculpted an owl for you @NatsukiShisui what do you think ?🦉

@UTDIfy @NASAEarth @Astro_Christina The rim of light? The sun. The bright spot? That's Venus

@NASAEarth @Astro_Christina The light at the bottom, where’s it coming from?

That's us! 🌍 The Artemis II crew captured beautiful, high-resolution images of our home planet during their journey to the Moon. As @Astro_Christina put it: "You guys look great."

That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. That's here. That's home. That's us. Carl Sagan

@messiah_07 @NASAEarth @kerubo_hillary @Astro_Christina Because they're both in the opposite direction. That bright dot on the botom right is Venus. Mars is on the other direction

@NASAEarth @kerubo_hillary @Astro_Christina Why didn’t you capture Mars and the Moon also still don’t believe this is real tho. The earth is flat

@Sheddyewere @NASAEarth @Astro_Christina That in the distance is not a star, is Venus. That highlight is sunlight reflecting on the atmosphere

@NASAEarth @Astro_Christina Do you think that bright light might be from the star off in the distance?

@steam_ranger @NASAEarth @Astro_Christina @grok The answers hurt. What we consider north, at that orientation, woukd be at the bottom of the image, towards the left. Turn the image upside down and you'll recognize the labdmasses almost immediately

@NASAEarth @Astro_Christina @grok Given that NASA identified the visible landmass in the image as Africa can you identify the orientation of the Earth in this image, i.e. which way is North?

@NASAEarth @Astro_Christina A beautiful pale blue dot

@DBZimran It doesn't help that at that time, 2D animation was gaining the stigma of being "for young kids only", while 3D was for everyone

Disney employed 2,200 animators who made Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and Tarzan. By 2013, nearly all of them were gone. Fired. The people who built Disney’s legacy were shown the door because executives thought the problem was 2D animation. It wasn’t. It was bad storytelling.

@LAURA_OF_GUNERS @MrJavL @earthcurated It was a valid question, but given the location, I think people thought you were a Hollow-Earther. All those conspiracy theorists speak the same "I'm just asking questions" discourse, and your question ended up sounding like that. Doesn't absolve people from being assholes, tough

@MrJavL @earthcurated Bringing up conversation isn't supposed to be a crime.. damn A lot of angry people around the world

NOT FLAT…

@anishmoonka Its worse, if I remember correctly, the guy who started the whole Flat-Earth theory camo in public to say that it was a prank and it was bs. The Flat-Earth community ifgoned that and kept going

Over 2,200 years ago, a Greek librarian named Eratosthenes measured the entire planet with a stick and got it right to within 100 miles. He didn’t have satellites or GPS or even a telescope. Just shadows and a guy he hired to walk between two Egyptian cities. His answer was about 25,000 miles around. The real number is roughly 24,900. Less than 1% off. In 240 BC. That photo up there is from the International Space Station, about 250 miles above us. The ISS whips around the planet once every 90 minutes. Sixteen sunrises, sixteen sunsets, every single day. Astronauts have taken over 3.5 million photographs of Earth from up there. Nearly 300 people from 26 countries have floated up and seen the curve with their own eyes. And yet. According to a 2018 YouGov poll of over 8,000 adults, only 84% of Americans firmly said the Earth is round. Among 18 to 24 year olds, that dropped to 66%. A separate 2021 survey put the share who think Earth is flat or aren’t sure at about 1 in 10. In December 2024, a guy from Colorado named Will Duffy spent three years planning and about $35,000 per person to fly some of the biggest flat-earth YouTubers to Antarctica. Near the South Pole during summer, the sun never sets. It stays up for 24 straight hours, circling across the sky, because the Earth is tilted on its axis and the bottom of the planet faces the sun. On a flat earth, that is physically impossible. They live-streamed the whole thing via Starlink. The sun didn’t set. Jeran Campanella, one of the most-watched flat-earth creators on YouTube, went on camera and said he’d been wrong about the 24-hour sun. The rest of the flat-earth community called it a green-screen fabrication. I went pretty deep on this one. What gets me is the timeline. Eratosthenes nailed it with a stick in 240 BC. We’ve got 3.5 million photos from orbit. A group of flat-earthers watched the sun circle Antarctica for three days, and parts of the community still called it staged. The evidence has been stacking up for 23 centuries and the gap between what we can prove and what people will accept keeps widening.

@NickSim86353344 @TheCinesthetic Best adaptation doesn't equate to most successful

@TheCinesthetic The question is how can still be one of the best adaptations yet it lasted two seasons? It would be considered one of the best if it lasted longer. Not saying I didn’t enjoy my time watching this but so much we hoped for is gone

The Spectacular Spider-Man (2008–2009) stands as one of the best comic book adaptations, everything about Peter’s world clicking into place, and it getting cancelled after two seasons still feels like a huge loss.

@0xleegenz I find these posts a bit funny because at my job (not USA) they set up a software to force you to clock out and blocks you from work when your shift ends. The complete opposite 😆

My manager watching me leave work at 5 PM when my shift ends at 5 PM

@Katnay3 I love her big black booper!

Let's Not Talk about it

@Niflheimm155983 I fail to see the problem XD

Thank you Windows 11, very cool! I love it when every single icon on my desktop randomly decides that it needs a Transformers logo on it

@Marnination @TerribleMaps @NASA

@TerribleMaps @NASA NASA did a slightly better job but an A for effort! 👀

I mean it’s not rocket science, @NASA

@ItsYukinekun @becqstarforged @RealPostFolder They always seem to point to some passage that apparently was mistranslated. They claim it say to not sleep with man, when apparently it meant as not to sleep with kids. If true, I don't know, but I remember having seen that some time ago.

@becqstarforged @RealPostFolder How's being part of the LGBTQ community being a sinner? Tell me how homosexuals, or asexuals are sinning?

@colmflynnire Reminds me of a statue of Jesus as a sleeping beggar an artist did in the USA some time ago. Don't remember where exactly. City hall got flooded by complaints of a begger sleeping on the park's bench.

One of my favourite pieces in St Peter’s Square at the Vatican: a statue that first appears to be a beggar, transforming into an angel as you move around it - by Timothy Schmalz.

@ahmedbrown @TAdventurousoul Because something illegal IS going on. It seems thats smuggling to avoid taxes.

@TAdventurousoul Why using this method of moving food supplies, if something illegal is not underneath

This is how ships move their food supplies in the middle of the ocean

@Universetej1617 @TAdventurousoul The people in the video are definitely less than heroes. It seems that's an illegal fishing operation. They fish without authorization in other countries's waters and smuggle it through ships that have authorization.

@TAdventurousoul People who do these kinds of jobs are no less than heroes.
