Not really... because of the ring in low orbit, most of the large stations are out around the outer moon.SVlad wrote:Do they have orbital stations visible to the naked eye, like Scaffold over Kharak?

Re: 179: No finer place for sure, downtown
Are those some swoopy boats down on the water, or Absolute Units of submarines? They look like they'd be difficult to load and unload if they were cargo vessels of some kind, or am I overthinking the convenience of it considering the technology they have available?
Also 10/10 on the one in the distance with the ram bow, no matter what it is.

Well, we know what everyone's knew wallpapper is.

I see there only one giant submarine-like ship. All other constructions are piers and breakwaters with roads and lights.Angry_Americanok wrote:Are those some swoopy boats down on the water, or Absolute Units of submarines?

I agree, that is a mighty fine as- ohh, you mean the city.Quickdraw101 wrote:I'd kill for a view like that.
Yes, of course. Great view!

Having a deja vu moment - was this city modeled on Capetown, South Africa?
Re: 179: No finer place for sure, downtown
I zoomed in the picture and saw the headlights of cars forming lit up roads the way it does if a picture are made with long exposure time. A bit odd for a bit of memory UNLESS Tempo substitutes the city with her own memory of a long exposure picture she seen of the same view. It also confirms that the loroi have cars... Not that Alex will get any of that unless someone shows him a picture of the city.Continuity wrote:Having a deja vu moment - was this city modeled on Capetown, South Africa?

Not necessarily, or exclusively. It could be mostly cargo traffic and public transport.Sweforce wrote:It also confirms that the loroi have cars...

Re: 179: No finer place for sure, downtown
I include those in what I ment. Whatever they have they do have headlights, that is the point. Private or communal, on tires, or rails doesn't matter, they do shine up the streets. The drivers may be people, or maybe computers, doesn't matter.GeoModder wrote:Not necessarily, or exclusively.

I tried adjusting fireblade a bit:
Not sure how to make the shading work around her cheekbones and her adjusted eye, so it looks kinda wonky.

Was definitely not expecting Fireblade to be that open about it.
Also I haven't been on here since I started using Lastpass. Oof.

If you're going to do that, you'd need to shrink her eyes down to a more realistic size. If there's not an eye-width between the eyes, they look too close together.boldilocks wrote:I tried adjusting fireblade a bit

Well enough! I stopped reading all the webcomics I was following during one of your hiatuses and have never gotten into the habit of coming back. Gonna try to get in the habit again.
I've got college in addition to work these days so I don't spend nearly as many hours on the internet as I used to.
I noticed in your last Patreon update that you said you're getting to the point where you can go full-time. Congratulations!

True, also she gets sort of a quasimodo look. I tried shrinking it a bit and then moving it back and forth but I ended up paralyzing myself .Arioch wrote:If you're going to do that, you'd need to shrink her eyes down to a more realistic size.

Fireblade doesn't like being messed with, and her telekinetics work through a screen as well, apparently.boldilocks wrote:True, also she gets sort of a quasimodo look.

Just be happy nothing worse happened to you.

I kinda like that smug look on her face. Its a defeat of sorts, trying to be defiant to the pinky but she still lost.

For me, that expression says 'why is it always me that gets the nutter on the bus?'
