I drew something that came out a little boring, so I decided to try something different to spice it up! I was inspired by the "save data before closing?" message that Medibang serendipitously gave me when I closed a drawing of Data, and the fact that Nightshade tagged the comic in my last post as "love." (I didn't change the tag because yeah buddy, it sure is!!)
Also yes Data is apparently running UTAU in his brain or something, because I ran out of things to add so I rendered a big UST and took a screenshot lol.
A while ago a post came across my dash about how Data, Geordi and Spot would be perfectly comfortable sitting in the dark because technically none of them need light to see, and how this probably freaked people out at least once. Imagine stepping into a room, it's pitch black except for ....👀
That's been in the back of my mind ever since.
(and I lost the post I swear I had it saved in my drafts but no, anyone know the post I'm referencing??? 😭)
“If being human is not simply a matter of being born flesh and blood, if it is instead a way of thinking, acting and feeling, then I am hopeful that one day I will discover my own humanity. Until then, I will continue learning, changing, growing, and trying to become more than what I am.”
caught a cold yesterday so I rewatched a good old childhood fav of mine, which also included another robot buddy I love! here’s data with wall-e cus why not :D
Last week I mentioned the one oddball dinosauriform that had crocodilian-like osteoderm armor, so let's take a look at that one too.
Lewisuchus admixtus lived in what is now northwest Argentina during the late Triassic, around 236-234 million years ago. About 1m long (3'3"), it was an early member of the silesaurids – a group of dinosauriforms that weren't quite dinosaurs themselves, but were very closely related to the earliest true dinosaurs.
(They've also been proposed as instead being early ornithisichians, but we're not getting into that today.)
Much like its later silesaurid relatives Lewisuchus had a long neck and slender limbs, and was probably mainly quadrupedal, possibly with the ability to briefly run bipedally to escape from threats. Its serrated teeth suggest it was carnivorous, likely feeding on both smaller vertebrates and the abundant insects found in the same fossil beds.
Uniquely for an early dinosauriform it also had a single row of bony osteoderms running along its spine. Although it lived at close to the same time as the similarly-armored Mambachiton their last common ancestor was at least 10 million years earlier, and no other early dinosaur precursors with osteoderms are currently known – so this was probably a case of Lewisuchus independently re-evolving the same sort of feature.
I was going to space these out a little more but meh it's nice posting here again :)
In this season I experimented with the eyes because that's what you do LOL.
Here’s Data in a bunch of different outfits I would’ve loved to see him in, including civilian and holodeck clothes. I was absolutely determined to finish this in time for his birthday, so here it is!
Been meaning to draw First Contact Data fanart for years.. I love that his skintone hue turned out so greenish uGH the Frankenstein’s monster of it all!!
