The Mysterious Monster March: JUST HATCHED
Illustration from a children's picture book that I am working on.

"The baby shivers in the cold.
His tummy growls and grumbles.
A nearby squabble grows louder.
'Maybe they have food', he thinks,
and follows them into the forest."
----------------
(100% human-made) human imagined, drawn and painted, no AI whatsoever.

60 Jahre "Star Trek" als Spiegel der Gesellschaft
Am 8. September 1966 lief die erste Folge von "Star Trek" erstmals im US-Fernsehen. Noch heute ist das Franchise bei Fans beliebt. Vielleicht auch, weil dort eine bessere Zukunft versprochen wird. Von L. Fettich

Somehow, although it's clearly a bolt of lightning, it seems like it's not that deadly. It looks like it's made of something not electricity, anyway.

Is the standing soldier a monster? He kind of looks creepy, but that's mostly the grimace. Why is the fallen comrade so brightly coloured?
It's a great composition, great lighting. The diagonals make for more drama.

I just finished reading Fahrenheit 451 for the first time in five decades. The short novel is well remembered for burning books and suppressing knowledge.
Yet, what struck me was how people had lost interest, their attention spans virtually nil, their obsession sitting in front of screens and watching programs.
It required no imagination at all to translate it to today.
Be everwell.

Es kommt darauf an, wen man fragt.
Viele Yrdaskördad würden sagen, dass Rayazul Yrdaskörd durch die Erforschung der Magie bedroht hat.
Viele Rayazuly würden sagen, dass Yrdaskörd sie aus heiterem Himmel angegriffen hat.
Viele Eludjeri würden sagen, dass Eludjeo Rayazul befreien musste.
Ich habe mich bewusst entschieden, verschiedene Perspektiven zu zeigen, und nicht vorzugeben, wer „gut“ oder „böse“ ist.
