Why the hell am I getting push notifications from accounts I'm not following retweeting other accounts I'm not even following?

I'm outta here today, this place is cooked. The magic of old Twitter is dead.

So there used to be a sea that cut right through North America, the Western Interior Seaway.

And it was a place of horror.

Here's the USS Enterprise
(Star Trek: The Motion Picture)

The Kelvin Timeline USS Enterprise
(Star Trek 2009)

and the USS Enterprise-D
(The Next Generation)

Even though the Kelvin Enterprise is MASSIVE, the Enterprise-D still has it beat in internal volume.

[Rocketgirl 🚀 @Rocket_Grrrl]

I don't think a lot of people realize how gargantuan the Big D actually is.

The character we spent by far the longest creating for #Transformers ROTB was Air Razor. We spent over a year working on just her and her variants.

The reason she took so long was because there was no unified vision for what she was supposed to look like. We had initial concepts but the leadership team from the studio wasn't happy with how she looked when we matched to them so we had to iterate and develop different styles until they were happy. Our asset supervisor did a mockup redesign of her head to look more like a golden eagle which they liked a lot, this is what the final head shape was decided to be.

We opted to match her styling to a peregrine falcon as the animation director really liked the breakup and contrast that provided.

She is the only hero character in the film without an alt mode. She only has her bird form. It was decided during the concepting stages of the film that she would not have a robot form.

To make her talk, it was decided by the animation director early on that her beak would semi transform to enable some more expressive talking animations as opposed to her just opening and closing her beak.

We spent a very long time on her feathers, in modelling, look development, and rigging, ensuring that we matched to the directors vision and that they looked good in shots.

She had over 9 variants, each for a different part of the film. She had a battle mode, damage states, and a "virus" infected mode for when she was infected by Scourge. Each of these also had different variants, totalling the final 9 seen in the film.

We added a lot of engraving details to her, each being in the official Maximal language, translated from English. For example, the engraving on her chest says "In the absence of light, darkness prevails"

Air Razor was a big creative and technical challenge and a massive team effort to get right. We had plenty of sleepless nights while trying to figure her out.

I was responsible for her primary texturing and look development and also served as the asset Lead alongside Tom Goodchild.

Various other artists supported the modeling, texturing, and rigging of Air Razor, I unfortunately do not recall everyone's names - she was a big team effort.

Imagine an entire crew of filmmakers spending weeks framing great shots for a great movie, and then someone just 'makes' the 'missing' top and bottom frame, making it vertical now! I keep asking: But Why? What is the point? If you want to make a vertical film, just film a vertical film! Art and creativity are not about having options. It's about committing to decisions and sticking with them!

Being the richest guy on earth and serving as a kind of shadow president and still feeling the need to fake that you’re the world’s best player at your favorite video game is just a rare, rare window into a particularly loathsome personality type
