Was thinking that if USA are focusing on hardsuits and such, then England must have somewhat archaic steam golems. That one, in particular, is something like His Majesty's Steam Guardian, almost decorative steam automaton that roam Backingham palace and it's neighborhood.
His large red eyebrow is one sign that this male is starting to moult into his brown summer plumage. This the only year-round resident land-inhabiting bird in the archipelago. Heavily cropped! Blomstrandhalvøya, Svalbard, Norway.

Was made by NickRoyer's request. Since this is Illuminati machine, I decided that it will work from an aether energy source that drive two thrusters.
Half an hour into the convention, something went wrong with my camera's focusing system. Mostly I managed to work around it, or in some cases just used the phone, but I wish I'd gotten a better shot of these four!

I'm on the left; I spotted the guy on the right with a JSA group in line for the DC Nation panel.

Personal events has made my muses for writing more unreliable (as seen from plenty of 'description coming soon' images) in terms of making descriptions for these things. SO IMMA RAMBLE.
I have grown rather fond of the Animare Pose and animation system (The cheaper one, going by the review I avoided the more exspensive version.). With a bit of fiddling, I can make some adjustments. I am still developing my eye for it, but using poses from places such as Poseidon and Voir then adjusting them until I like it has definitely made my 'bonsai trees' (Avatar fiddling) more relaxing. Likely because I'm a bit off.
Cassidy here, among multiple other pictures, are helping me create some stories. Especially as a few friends got me some DnD books to help me plot and put a world together.. Which has lead to me making them a campaign.
My Second Life client turned character creator has been rather useful in me hammering out ideas that were just floating in the abyss and collecting dust.
And more reason to take pictures!

Despite being the simplest design available, it was the most popular.

One section of the mezzanine balcony was turned into a dead end by the registration tables. Every time I saw it, people were using it for photo shoots.
At the end of the day Friday (our last day at the con), we were sitting against the lobby wall, when these two stopped right in front of us and posed for this shot. I figured what the heck.

Katie's Alice costume. She made the necklace and the vest, and beaded together two narrow belts to get the right look. Blouse, skirt, belts and boots were found off the rack or online. More info
Unfortunately the necklace got turned around in this photo, but you can see it clearly in the close-up.

Svalbard rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta hyperborea) at Eskerdalen, Spitsbergen. This subspecies is endemic to Svalbard and Franz Josef's Land. Snowmobile tour from Longyearbyen to Mohnbukta, Spitsbergen, Svalbard, April 2017
Drove through Adventdalen, Sassendalen across the glacier on Sabine Land down to Mohnbukta and Return same route.
This squirrel bounded along a wall carrying a walnut in its mouth as I walked down the sidewalk. It stopped and looked at me as if it had been caught in the act of walnut burglary.
I had enough time to snap a couple of pictures with my phone *and* pull out my camera for a better shot before it scampered away.
It is fascinating how much power we put into objects of our past. Paintings, memoirs, trinkets, and photographs can spur our memories. However, items that we wear and brandish, like a set of armor and a mask, can hold far more power over the owner than they would like to admit.
These objects obtain the power to influence their owners through acts of nostalgia. A warrior left dormant returning to the stand with in a glass case they leave their war face in. Standing so the armor encases their reflection, pondering the acts that gave them honor and valor in the past. Tracing their fingers over the glass as the memories replay themselves. The violence hidden by the songs and praise to follow.
The dormant warrior torments themselves, while all that energy and all those memories lock themselves to the armor. Repeat this enough, and let the blood soaked into the deepest nooks of an otherwise obsessively cleaned set fester. Should the warrior eventually, after just enough festering, find themselves drawn to wear the armor, purely for nostalgic purposes, that is when the festering magic will infect the warrior. The memories layering themselves over the warrior's reality until they are CERTAIN it is the second coming of their steel bound purpose.
It is even more fascinating how much of our soul we will carve out to make room for any sort of purpose. What depths we will fall to when we find ourselves milked dry. Especially with the anonymity of a mask.
