WyldspaceArt

I am Kieł Basastrony (a pen name.  My real name is Chip), and I write Space Operas and Interplanetary Romance stories online. I am also interested in illustrating and animating. My stories showcase many universal timeless themes set in otherwise alien landscapes. Just as all life forms share certain traits, all intelligent creatures go through the same life events, be they human, alien, or artificial, and they have the same wants and needs whether they have a brain the size of an elephant's or a honeybee's. My digital illustrations similarly try to show the common mixed with the alien.

The programs I usually use for art are DAZ Studio and GIMP, and I'm learning Blender.  In 2023, I'm learning to use AI-generated art as another tool in my toolbox.  I have grown a lot of opinions about AI Art from experience using it to produce images.  It still needs to grow quite a lot before it is as helpful as the shipboard computer on Star Trek: The Original Series.

I hope you enjoy.
