Swallow Tail by ashleytinger SRV-A24672 SWALLOW TAIL SALVAGE AND RESCUE VEHICLE Mustang Class Tug - Retrofit Crew (standard): 6 Crew (minimum): 2 Operating Range: 18 months The Swallow Tail started off as a intra-system space tug and was converted over to a salvage vessel after reclamation from a salvage yard and the installation of a standard class jump drive giving it the regular jump range of a civilian vessel. Capable of attaching to and transporting vessels many times its size and mass, the Swallow Tail has made a very nice return on investment for its owner and operator. Currently operating out of Gateway Station at the edge of ISA territory, the Swallow Tail has no political affiliation and will accept jobs from any faction. Finally finished up the outside of this little bugger enough to use her so now I can actually work on that comic.  Huzzah. The interior sets really determined what the exterior was going to look like and I found myself borrowing a bit from the Palamino from The Black Hole but definitely my own spin on it. Maybe a little Expanse too.

Parallel Lives Enterprise Bridge - Crisis Staff by ashleytinger Since this panel took me the longest to put together with so many characters and having to render it in four sections, I thought I’d post it all by its lonesome. The crew, from left to right: Prime Spock Kelvin Kirk Parallel Lives Scotty ??? Veldsia (she was after Trelane in a DC comic book) Parallel Lives Marcus Parallel Lives Chekov Alternate Prime Thelin Alternate Prime Rand Parallel Lives Spock Mirror Universe Spock Mirror Universe Fek (Spock’s bodyguard) Parallel Lives Kirk Parallel Lives Sulu Kelvin McCoy Parallel Lives McCoy Kelvin Uhura Parallel Lives Uhuro Kelvin Uniform textures by mylochka   Mirror Universe and TOS textures by JamesJAB Bridge XI from Vanishing Point Rendered in DAZ Studio 4.12 with iRay.

Parallel Lives - Crisis of Infinite Gothos by ashleytinger So the Trek BBS monthly theme was a riff on Crisis on Infinite Earths and well, this is where my brain went with it.  Just a page right now, but I made up the whole Parallel Lives crew (the gender-flipped Kelvin-verse from the IDW comics) so I can absolutely continue on if I decide to. Might even get that Doomsday idea started. Some of my face morphs went way better than others did. Either way, it was an interesting distraction for a few weeks while my wife had her hospital visit. 2009 Enterprise - Madman version 6 converted by mattymanx Kelvin Uniform textures by mylochka Mirror Universe and TOS textures by JamesJAB Bridge XI from Vanishing Point Rendered in DAZ Studio 4.12 with iRay.

Finally decided to kick things off here in 2020. I’ve got a lot of personal projects going that I’ll share on Deviantart and on here.   Personal Projects: The Infernal Isle - A Dungeons and Dragons inspired setting with my own characters and situations, expanding and moving on from what I’d done in December with #DnDecember2019. It’ll be an ongoing comic as I get going. Hoping for a few pages a week. I’ll probably release 5 of them at a time in one file.  Swallow Tail - I’d binged too much of the Expanse (like that could happen) and decided to dust off a sci-fi universe I’d been working on for years and mostly abandoned 5 or 6 years ago and am going the harder sci-fi route with it. I don’t have an overall name for it, so I’m sticking with the salvage crew I’d made up for it.I’ll be handling this one like Infernal Isle. Fan Comic Projects: Challenger - A Star Trek Phase II era story-line set on board the Challenger, the last built of the Constitution class before the full on refit. Don’t expect this until I get my sets in order.  Aurora - Star Trek TNG era story-line set on a Probert Style Ambassador class.  Again, sets.  Jedi for Hire - A Star Wars story following a Jedi survivor from the purge and her crew as they struggle to find a place out in the Rishi Maze having fled from the Inquisitors in the main Star Wars galaxy.  Fan Construction Projects: YT-1300 interior - I’m working on a more put together interior for the class of Star Wars ship that graced the Millenium Falcon, only in much better shape but not quite as party boat as Lando had it. Still much cleaner than it ends up in Han’s hands. I’m looking to release this as a set for others to use. Throwback Sets - Like the bridge of the Sephora, I’m working on some more sets that are a bit more advanced looking that the original series Star Trek sets, but could easily fit with the Phase II aesthetic. I’m looking to revamp my Transporter Room, Engineering, create a Sickbay set that fits more to my liking with two different eras of bio-beds, a crew quarters set-up, and a release of the VIP quarters set-up that would work on a starbase or a larger ship. Phase II sets - I’ve started re-vamping some of my Star Trek Challenger sets and I’m looking to hit that mark of Motion Picture and Phase II feel and I have a long list of sets for this to work on.  TNG era sets - I did end up mostly finishing the forward lounge last year along with a set of corridors for a working class TNG era ship, not the luxury look of the Galaxy class. So these are also on the list to get done.

Swallow Tail 'Nose Art' Pinup Concept by ashleytinger

[bigfourdesigngroup]

Going for a harder sci-fi angle with this. The crew of the Swallow Tail, a small salvage and rescue craft privately owned and operated.  Gravity only happens when the ship is under thrust. You have to go through an airlock to get in and off the ship. No shields. A bit more primitive than Trek and Wars, but something I haven’t really played with before and the Expanse had inspired me. http://fav.me/ddnu7gu

Went through and picked my favorite pieces or work from the various months. Some months I had to really pick through, others it was really sparse. As usual, I'm all over the place. I did hit a Trek burnout a little after mid-year and wandered around a little bit towards the end. http://fav.me/ddnewg1

After tracking the path of the insane red dragon that had attacked the port town, the four decided to celebrate their good fortunes by partaking in a local hidden waterfall.  While the others began to relax and even play a bit in the water, Nida began to mull over the scroll she had found.  It was within her reach to cast it off the scroll, but the price to have her family back could mean that she would not have this newfound family and they would not have her. "My dream could become real with this Wish scroll," Nida muttered. "But I will need to be careful with how I word this. I need these misfits, and they need me, but I also need my family.  I will use you at some point scroll, but I will need to master my intentions before I attempt to do so..."

Teirga the Insane had been harassing the trade caravan heading into the port, but now that she was threatening a full town, the guards finally sprang to proper action and conscripted any adventurers into helping. Azael, Sera, Chandalyn and Nida all worked fast to clear the docks and try to keep people safe while the massive red dragon began her rampage through the now nearly deserted quarter...

Azael had hoped by going alone she could negotiate a peaceful settlement. The human military's bigotry and ignorance wouldn't allow them to listen to a tiefling. The others knew it would go down that way, but still wanted to give Azael a shot.  Now the peace negotiations had turned into a rescue...

"We must go faster!" Yelled Nida. Sera responded in kind by galloping harder.  Nida was pretty sure Sera couldn't outrun the behemoth chasing them, but she was damn sure Sera was going to try.  Nida had been wrong about a great many things before. She was hoping Sera's top speed was one of them. Nida couldn't pinpoint when this whole plan had gone sideways, or when Sera had insisted she hop on, or when the aging t-rex had started chasing them. She was just hoping that Azael and Chandalyn were having better luck than they were... DnDecember2019 entry 28 - Feast Download the large versions off my deviant art page. Links below.

"Oh, this was a grand idea," muttered Chandalyn as she waved her dagger at the juvenile dinosaur, for all the good it was doing. "Hey, we needed to split up to get the information out to the various towns. I didn't hear you complaining then," answered Azael as she sized up the two adults that were eyeing her.

Adventurers head out into the world for many reasons. Fame and Glory. Loss. Exile. Fortune. Honor. Some go out because they have nowhere else to go and because everything they had was lost to them in an instant. Either through accident, violence, or something worse.  Most adventurers never forget that time before and dream of one day having again what was lost to them so long ago...

Azael looked up into Sera's eyes, not sure what to say. "It's a local custom that you give gifts to people you care about on this day.  It's a Ring of Protection. I thought you could use it." "Thank you, Sera.  I'll definitely put it to good use." "It's not like I'm asking you to marry me, Azael. Relax," winked the centaur.
