i honestly don't know actually

it calls itself a building, but it has wheels and steam escaping from where it would on a steam loco, but also the wheels are far too small to haul something of that size, the axles would snap

so it could be either

yeah, definitely

i have before not posted until i found the actual artist, but 1) if it's published as the studio, that's a canonical credit, and 2) it might (as in this case) be the work of multiple people, and a studio is just shorthand for multiple artists

also this is cool as hell

it might look a bit weird with the ships being static though

what is with all the stör fish references recently?

i'm definitely out of touch

 

i mean i'm not entirely certain that it's untitled as there's a title on the artstation page; but it refers to a different piece on the same page

Another installment of The Call of Cthulhu

used for the cover of vernor vinge's "A Deepness in the Sky"

now to me this looks quite a bit older than 2000; but that's what isfdb says, and who am i to argue?

such a nice shade of blue. i like ships that have a bit more of an interesting palette than silver or white (like the freighters in ftl)

七百年ほど前の嵐の日一度雷光を発し、それ以降この世界に魔物がはびこるようになったという。

百年ほど前にも一度光ったとか光らないとかいう話があるが、真偽不明である。

which, according to google translate, is

It is said that about 700 years ago, during a storm, a flash of lightning emitted once, and ever since then, this world has been infested with monsters.

There is a story about a hundred years ago that it once glowed and sometimes it never glowed, but the truth is unknown.

「神の在不在はさておき、これだけでも大したものですね」

「俺の村では祈りの場そのものも信仰対象だった。神様の姿を知る人間は限られていたし、実際信仰に足る代物だった」

「確かにあれは神の御業といった感じでしたね」

「だからみんな死んだ」

which, google translated, comes out as:

church in ruins

“Aside from the existence or absence of God, this alone is a big deal.”

"In my village, the place of prayer itself was an object of worship. There were only a limited number of people who knew the appearance of God, so it was actually something worthy of belief."

“It certainly felt like the work of God.”

"That's why everyone died."
