There are a number of excellent alien world builder software programs such as arc world builder
and Celestia with libraries of
world parts and
suns from A to M and
i have used many but on the whole they are Avatar clone apps or simply build a fractal earth and oceans and you just add two suns for a desert world build a
wookie crashing Pandora forest
planet or make it snow for the
hothy ice planets - good as they are the arc builder software is one owes more to Bonestell gaseous eruptions of the 1950s than to
Paul's pulp life on other planet illustrations
of the 1920s
I decided to make more impressionist exo solar planets using a combination of chunky world builder and freeware photo manipulation
app tools
my visions of other
worlds a selection of extra solar planets seen at sunrise
Delta Pavonis 18.6 light years star G6 the start of the early morning shift
Epsilon Eridani
10.7 light years star K2 an ocean with
divers
Epsilon Indi 11,2 light years star
K6 view of a desert storm on planet with 45
degree tilt to star
I am making a slow
recovery with my abdominal surgical scar
now only 20cm wide
my latest poem
"Rockette" is on the theme
of woman in space as seen in
1930s -1950s sci- fi pulp
covers being the reality for the space
age
still
fragmentary with emphasis on the
innuendo of an all male crew on a
long mission
and that in the 1950s " women too served in those
days as
deputy assistant unaccredited white scientist or part qualified probationary junior space pilot"
