you do append all your posts, of late anyway, in this thread with the exhortation

enjoy!

so I just wondered if edwinasyneak actually did [not that I expected a reply]

Ah, that. Yeah, been making posts in Facebook and have been appending the "enjoy" to those posts. So I copy/pasted this text from there, but then tweaked the text to be more specific for here - but forgot to remove the "enjoy" part... whoops. I do hope anyone viewing these are enjoying themselves, though.

So turns of phrases, bother you? It's just language.

Of course we do. I always appreciate how other TG members use Xara in producing their work in whatever format.

I also enjoy seeing your work. The depth of your imagination is nothing short of wonderous to me. I don't play these games, but yet I like to read your descriptions and can usually 'see' what you are portraying.

Excellent work.

i don't do the games, not at all my thing, but you certainly produce the art

Been busy - mostly writing, editing, page layout, and cover design for my Planet Builder project. And am posting the cover design to show - and the design was created in XDP11 at least.

And of course @handrawn - I fully know, what I create and it's purpose has little to do with most other members of the Talkgraphics community (you guys aren't my target market). Just posting art here, as I do from time to time.

Here's playing around with another animal shaped starship. I've done crustaceans before, but have never made a shrimp/prawn design before. Again just for fun - I got intrigued with the shape of a shrimps head for a design and what got me started. I'm starting to think this ship flies backwards - it can fly both forward and backwards, but thinking due to standard shrimp tail movement, in it's primary cruising speed it's flying backwards. It can do a "Crazy Ivan" stunt, I think, as well most ships I create sized small to large feature maneuvering pods for thrusters that can rotate allowing a rapid spin on the spot, I'd think. I see it as a scrapper salvage ship or drone, dropped by a carrier as a couple dozen to rain onto a gargantuan derelict ship, to be rendered to nothing in disassembly - like a swarm of shrimp eating a dead whale in the depths... Anyway the Prawn!

it's good to have the imagination... mine works in a very different way [that isn't always appreciated on TG ]

So it turns out, I'm using that "shrimp drone" from the previous thread, and creating a variety of crustacean based ship designs, and calling them Crustacea. Here's a crab ship version, and a pair of wood louse/pill bug configured repairs drones whose articulated antenna are 3D printer heads, essentially, using refined disassembled materials as print media...
