Did a little painting today, of a Seaborn guard, sort of on-duty. Normally I might say “leaning on his pike or spear”, but in this case he’s floating, using the grounded spear to keep him in the water column. More of my stuff here: https://SaltwaterWitch.com

Sketching for something Seaborn-related I’m working on. “The Seaborn do not require long nightly sleep cycles like surface humans, but have adapted to life in the oceans with methods employed by other mammals, including the ability to sleep vertically or horizontally in the water, “logging” which describes the state of a Seaborn in deep sleep–floating with both eyes closed.” https://SaltwaterWitch.com

Okay, we’re all in on 5e–Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition. I’ve run five sessions with Alice and Christopher playing. And now I’m building terrain, making trees, and painting minis!

Orion’s Belt Region - Here’s another shot from last night’s imaging with the #WilliamOptics SpaceCat51 Apo Refractor and #ZWO 071MC cooled camera, a wide-field shot with all three primary stars in Orion’s Belt or the Three Sisters, Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka. I say “primary” because Alnitak (bottom one in this rotation) is a triple-star system, Alnilam (in the middle) is a supergiant on it’s own and is 375,000 times more luminous than our star, the Sun. Mintaka (top) is a double-star system and the two stars orbit each other every 5.7 days. So yeah, I’d like to see that up lose–two massive stars spinning around each other that quickly. Bottom right you can see the Horsehead Nebula (Barnard 33) and NGC 2024, the Flame Nebula to the left and a bit lower than the Horsehead with Alnitak between them. https://SaltwaterWitch.com
