i make sci-fi related art and writing, mainly working on a hard sf slice-of-life webcomic that will hopefully come out one day. she/they, @triplchii on discord too

Blender viewport screenshot showing Pluto and Charon, with relative distances and sizes to scale, floating in a black void.
Artwork depicting a person with blueish hair dressed in a white beret, a white button-up shirt, gloves, and a large blue skirt that is actually a kind of flexible and wearable screen. Behind them is what looks like a photo of Pluto and Charon, with some extra lights from various habitats dotted around. Above the photo is some text which reads "Heartfelt Institute for Exoplanetary Sciences". In the top left is text that reads "2nd Star, Age: 47, They/Them". This text looks like it is overlaying some other text written in an unknown language.
Digital artwork depicting a woman with brown skin and dark hair dressed in a bulky blue spacesuit. She's smiling and waving at the camera. The landscape surrounding her is a flat expanse of yellow rocks and dust, with some lonely mountains far off in the distance and a caldera full of black and orange lava in the background. White specks pepper the image all over; penetrating radiation exciting the camera sensor.
Render depicting a shiny metallic spaceship positioned in front of a barren orange/tan coloured planet. The render is stylised to look like a drawing, with a Kuwahara filter applied and messy lineart outlining the ship and planet.
Minecraft screenshot depicting a simple stone tower with a wheat farm next to it under a sunny day-time sky.
Digital art showing various drawings of a girl with fair skin, messy red hair, and yellow eyes. The two middle drawings depict her in a semi-realistic style, she's also wearing glasses and a beanie with small glowing lights on it. On the left is a full-body drawing of her in the same attire. Behind the two middle drawings is the girl wearing warm winter clothing, and an oxygen mask. The sky is cold and grey as small flecks of snow drift down. On the right two chibi drawings of her can be seen, the top one with the glasses and hat, the bottom in the winter clothing. Text surrounding the top right drawing reads: "Beyond Mars", with "Wearable brain interface" pointing to her beanie and "Short/long-sightedness due to time spent in different gravity levels.". Text surrounding the bottom right drawing reads: "Mars (outdoors)", with "Breathing mask" pointing to the transparent mask covering her face, "Warm clothes" pointing to her general body, and "O2 supply" pointing to the cylindrical red tank on her back. Messy red borders surround the image with "Mars 2656" written at the top.
Minecraft screenshot showing a small hill with a tall wooden windmill on top of it. A muddy path leads down the side of the hill to a base embedded in the hill's side. The ground is covered in brown grass and snow.
Digital illustration split into three different panels. In the top right is a coloured sketch depicting a girl running down a path carved through a field of red grass, it's windy and she's chasing after a hat being blown along by the wind. On the left is a person on a bicycle with the sun shining high in the sky behind them, they look exhausted and are holding a bottle of some kind. In the bottom right these two people are depicted waiting at a rural train station as rain hammers down on the surrounding landscape. "Did you bring an umbrella?" she asks, "No..." the other person replies.

KSP screenshot showing a lander docked to a transfer stage above a sea of clouds.
KSP screenshot. A winged rocket ascends through the layers of clouds atop a pair of hydrolox engines.
My OCs Alika (left) and Jikara (right), but in a fantasy setting instead of the usual sci-fi stuff that I draw. Alika is wearing shiny metal armour and has a sheathed sword at her hip, while Jikara is some kind of elven witch.
Doodle of my personified design for the star Proxima Centauri wearing revealing sportswear.
2D digital illustration. On the left is a person with black hair tied into a ponytail wearing orange glasses, a brown t-shirtm, and black shorts. They're sat cross-legged with their head resting in their hands. They look disinterested. Behind them is a brain interface AR halo. In the middle is a large ceramic pot decorated with many tiny blue/indigo five-pointed stars. In the pot is a bizarre bulbous greyish growth resembling small spherical blobs sprouting off of larger spheres, down into the pot. Long strands dangle from the smallest blobs. On the right a gloved hand is holding one of these smaller blobs which has had a corner cut out of it, revealing its fairly featureless interior.
Doodle depicting a woman in some cramped spaceship interior in zero-g. She's drinking out of some pouch of liquid and is thinking to herself "This tea tastes like shit...". At the top is a date that reads "02/02/2656". To the left is some text that reads "Reading a paper she co-authored in that details more experimental proof in strong support of Persimmon-theory, which describes how general relativity and quantum field theory can be reconciled". Beneath is another panel depicting a long spindly spacecraft. Underneath this panel reads "A 2-month trip riding the solar wind at 500,000 m/s from Saturn to Uranus."

Digital illustration depicting a personified version of a proton (the middle girl with red hair and a red t-shirt with a lowercase "p" on it) surrounded by several drawings of a personified electron (the girl with dark hair wearing the blue dress with "e⁻" on it). Only one of the electron girl's drawings is actually coloured though. Frantic arrows point between each doodle.
Digital illustration depicting a person with fair skin and short brown hair wearing a sweater and some kind of denim skirt. The lower portion of their body resembles a millipede, with a shiny dark exoskeleton and many tiny legs. Atop their head is a pair of antennae. To the right is a small scene depicting the millipede person fetching a book from a high shelf to hand to another (non-millipede) person.
Space Engine screenshot of the procedurally generated Wolf-Rayet star RSC 8514-15-0-0-2429 A. You can see in the top left the mass is listed as 10849 solar masses.
Illustration depicting the surface of a neutron star. A sheer expanse of glowing white represents the surface, which fades out to blue along the horizon. The sky is decorated by the warped and blueshifted light of stars and galaxies above. A person wearing a swimsuit is resting peacefully half-submerged in the surface and is holding onto a donut-shaped pool float.
Illustration of a woman with cyan-coloured skin and white neck-length messy hair. Atop her head are a pair of long antennae. She's dressed in a black flight suit. On the right the suit has been unzipped and is hanging around her waist. In the background is the view from some kind of scope or sensor.
Digital illustration depicting various conceptual designs for fusion-powered spacecraft, but as girls. From left to right there's: Firefly, the Bussard ramjet, Discovery II, Project Daedalus, and VISTA. The text above each reference image reads, from left to right, as: "Firefly Starship, Icarus Interstellar, 2013", "Bussard ramjet, Robert W. Bussard, 1960 (though this particular render is from NASA, 2004)", "Discovery II, NASA, 2005", "Project Daedalus, British Interplanetary Society, 1973", "VISTA, LLNL, 2003".
3D render depicting the planet Venus, kept mostly in the shade by massive sets of mirrors floating in space. The background is near complete black.

Infographic stylised to look like a grungy photocopied piece of paper. A sharp, gritty render of the ship shown previously is visible. Various blocks of text point to different sections of the ship. They read as follows (from left to right): "Hypermetric chamber | By leveraging the Igelkott effect, a region of ANEC-violating spacetime is created within the chamber. This is blown out to form a "bigger on the inside" space, often many hundreds of meters to kilometers in size. Useful for storing large amounts of materials in a space-efficient manner. Its throat is not a true (forbidden) wormhole, as it does not change the topology of spacetime." "Communication & sensors | The ravenous vacuum saps energy from any transmissions making the hours-long trek from ship to Home and back. Large, sensitive, ears are needed to pick up these distant calls. A lot of the sensors are mostly vestigial: we know there's nothing beyond Home, no point in double-checking." "Airlock & habitat | It's awfully cramped, yet strangely cosy. It can feel at times as if the confines of the living space is all there is to the universe. There are no windows, nothing to see out there anyway." "Reaction control system thrusters | A single Mystery Drive cannot provide sideways or rotational motion, so conventional RCS thrusters are still helpful." ""Mystery Drive" Reactionless thrust structure | The ship's main method of forward (and backwards) propulsion. After receiving only a moderate amount of startup power, the Mystery Drive is able to produce thrust from seemingly nowhere, and with no exhaust to speak of. It is a perversion of thermodynamics. The people who gifted us the blueprints looked as if they had seen a ghost." Underneath the ship is an arrow marking the length of it as 270 meters. In the bottom right is a portrait of someone with antennas atop their head. Besides them it reads: "OPERATOR | IND-33385421 Cassi | Feeling "decently positive about the whole thing"."
Stylised render depicting a spacecraft against a dark background. The ship is various shades of black and grey, and follows a roughly tapered cone shape. At the back is a large sphere covered in spikes. At the front is a long black section dotted with tiny holes.
Photograph of an industrial chimney spewing white smoke into the air. A bird can be seen flying in front of the smoke.
Digital illustration depicting a woman with dark skin and glowing orange-white hair dressed in dark clothing. In the background many stars and gas clouds are visible. Text in the top right reads "Proxima Centauri", underneath that is some smaller text that reads "Fully convective interior" while pointing to one of the illustrations. Underneath this is another piece of small text that simply reads "Flaring", again pointing to another one of the illustrations.
Digital illustration showing various doodles of a guy with pale skin, ginger hair, and yellow eyes. In one of the doodles he's shown eating a sandwich. Next to the sandwich is some text reading: "Sandwich featuring GMO-derived bread, cheese derived from cultured milk, and cultured GMO ham." In the background is a coloured heightmap of the western region of Hellas Planitia, with the lowest sections coloured blue to represent water. Surrounding the water is a haze of green, pressumably representing flora coverage.
3D renders depicting a cardboard cutout of a 2D illustration of a girl with brown skin, neck-length pink hair, pink eyes, a yellow t-shirt, and black pants. The cardboard cutout is stood on a white plane with a simple dark grey background.
Three-panel digital illustration depicting a person laying down on the surface of a neutron star. In the first panel on the left we see them from above, hands rested on their stomach, looking up in awe. Their body is lit from beneath by the neutron star's glowing surface. In the middle panel we see a close-up of their hand, which is now tentatively touching the surface. Small lumps and dents are visible in the otherwise stark white ground. In the third panel on the right we see what the space above looks like, with numerous stars tinted blue and with a lot of motion blur applied to them.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_baryons#_JP_=_%E2%81%A01/2%E2%81%A0+_baryons Screenshot from the Wikipedia page "List of baryons", showing off the list of "JP=1/2+ baryons".
Illustration depicting three genetically engineered "Spacers". There's several bits of text around them but unfortunately it all doesn't fit in the character limit for the alt text... Then, in the bottom right corner: "Spacers are one of the more ambitious human genetic engineering projects to come out of the Wildfire Sequence. While most other projects were more interested in "improving" the base human design (sometimes these were legitimate improvements, like a better ability to fight cancer. Other times it was just eugenics), Spacers were one of the first attempts to design a body plan that excels in a specific environment. Techlord Otok Garliste announced the project in late 2522. The logic followed that by eliminating the necessity of artificial gravity, ships could save mass by no longer carrying complex centrifuges. 12 years later, and after many moral atrocities (some prototype designs didn't last more than a year outside of artificial wombs, others still were born with all manner of deformities), the project was announced a success. Over the coming decades Spacers would diffuse throughout society to the point of ubiquity. Towards the end of the Wildfire Sequence, Otok Garliste was unceremoniously executed alongside a few other techlords, during the coup of Frexdan Orbital 01 in 2570. Unfortunately the person who pulled the trigger was not a Spacer themselves. Spacers in the modern day prefer to live under 0.1 to 0.3 gees. Actually living in freefall is generally considered a pain in the ass, and is only done when necessary."
3D render depicting three stars all next to eachother against a black background. The stars look similar to how the Sun does when viewed through a solar filter, with their glowing surfaces and a few starspots visible. The middle star (Alpha Centauri A) is the largest and brightest, it appears almost pure white. To the right is Alpha Centauri B, which appears a bit smaller and dimmer than A with a few more starspots and a slightly orange tint. To the left is Proxima Centauri, which is far smaller than both stars and appears a dim brownish colour due to its low relative brightness compared to the other two. Proxima's surface is covered in a vein-like pattern of starspots.
Digital illustration depicting a girl with red hair and yellow eyes dressed in an orange winter coat and black gloves. She's wearing a transparent mask hooked up to an oxygen supply on her back. The scenery depicts a bleak snowy landscape, dotted with orange rocks and a few signs of footprints. In the background a snowy hill can be seen, and a large rocky cliff. The very top of the cliff is a stark orange as it barely catches the last light from the setting sun. Some distant lights resting against the cliffside can be spotted. The sky is a mix of oranges, yellows, and blues while a few faint clouds reflect the orange sunlight.
"The Stellar Epoch in the Evolution of the Galaxy" by AV Tutukov. Various graphs depicting star formation rate, height of the galactic disk, mass of gas in the galaxy, the galaxy's total luminosity, the rate of supernovae in the galaxy, and the relative abundances of oxygen, iron, and helium.
3D render of a low-exposure image of Proxima Centauri, showing its brightly glowing orange-ish surface. The star's surface is covered in veiny starspots and granules.
Digital illustration. On the left is a person with fair skin, short blue hair, and silver/gold eyes. They are dressed in some fancy black, white, grey, and gold clothing. A complex halo of yellow circles and signs floats behind their head. In the top right, an illustration of the planet Mercury. A few city lights are visible on the night side, and some white dots representing space habitats are visible in the planet's vicinity. This illustration is captioned "Mercury, 2660". Below this is a graphic depicting a map of the solar system with various yellow lines spreading across it like a web. This illustration is captioned "Beamed power network". Below this is an illustration depicting some kind of worn-down spherical building on the surface of Mercury, with harsh shadows and some yellow symbols scribbled onto its side. Text around the bottom middle reads out: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, half sunk, a shattered visage lies - whose frown, and wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command tell that its sculptor well those passions read which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things. The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear: COUNCIL FOR MANAGEMENT OF THE PISCES-3 BEAM HIGHWAY. During the epoch of Stagnation vast mining infrastructure was constructed in various locales across the surface of Mercury. The Stagnation came to an end before these mining machines could get to work tearing the planet apart to feed the insatiable appetite of their operators, today many of the old buildings and underground tunnels serve as residences for the various bureaucratic activities carried out on Mercury. The planet is considered the hub for ~85% of the solar system's beamed power networks, which form the backbone of the majority of interplanetary transport and energy distribution. If the beamed power network is the solar system's capillaries, then Mercury is the heart."
Illustration depicting two girls. The girl on the right has red eyes, freckles, short brown-ish hair, and is wearing a white tee. She's holding up a tiny version of the ship depicted in the other image while proclaiming "What the hell man? This one is way bigger than the others...". Girl on the left is taller, dressed in dark clothes, with long glowing orange hair similar in appearence of lava or the surface of a heavily sun-spotted star. She's replying to the other girl with "Tell me about it... Want me to flare again?". Labels are pointing to both girls, the girl on the right is labelled as "Proxima Centauri g", the girl on the left is labelled as just "Proxima Centauri".
Illustration depicting a scene in space. In the background is a planet with a moddled beige-brown texture. In the foreground is a very long and spindly spacecraft. The lighting is harsh, shadows blend in with the black background of space.
Top left: A very hot (~2000 K) brown dwarf, glowing bright orange/yellow from blackbody radiation. Its atmosphere is full of all sorts of metals and hydrides and so on. Top middle: Below ~1100 K methane is permitted to form in a brown dwarf's atmosphere. Methane appears blue, combined with the dull glow from blackbody radiation this makes the dwarf appear that familiar magenta. Top right: <800 K, now that it is no longer glowing the brown dwarf turns blue from methane absorption - assuming there's no haze. Middle left: From 700 K - 250 K it's possible a haze of sulphur can develop that turns the dwarf tan or beige. Middle: At 350 K - 170 K clouds of water can form that turn the dwarf white, possibly with a yellow or brown tinge depending on how much haze is present. Middle right: From 180 K - 80 K clouds of ammonia and ammonium hydrosulphide can appear, turning the dwarf orange or creamish. Bottom left: Back to purely methane absorption, which again turns the dwarf blue/cyan. Similar to Uranus and Neptune. Bottom middle: At ~20 K it gets so cold even the methane freezes out, leaving only hydrogen and helium behind. The dwarf appears white due to Rayleigh scattering, which is usually most effective for blue light but in this case light keeps travelling deeper into the object until even the longer wavelengths are reflected back out. Bottom right: ≲14 K the hydrogen itself freezes, turning the brown dwarf into a huge ball of solid hydrogen ice. A highly compressed atmosphere of helium remains. The brown dwarf retains its high surface gravity of hundreds of gees, combined with the cold temperature this causes the atmosphere to have a scale height of only a few meters. Eventually, by ~0.8 K, even the helium will freeze up too. The coldest types shown here likely do not exist in nature yet, but in the far future as things cool down they could come about.
Infographic showing a strange rounded metallic object with three protrusions extending from it. Each protrusion features a hole that retreats into darkness. The surface of the object is scratched and covered in strange ciruclar winding dents and grooves. To the right is an image depicting that same object glowing blue-hot, a thin glowing beam rushing into the larger of the three holes it posesses. In the bottom left is a simple illustraion of a woman with long hair holding the object on the tip of her finger. There's a lot of text that unfortunately doesn't fit in the character limit here, but the gist of it goes as follows: - This object takes in large amounts of mass and spits out a non-orientable wormhole. - The object is 7 millimetres in diameter but weighs 112 billion tons. - It is reflective to basically all light and is nearly indestructible. - How it produces wormholes is unknown. During operation the machine exceeds temperatures of 100,000 kelvin. - The wormholes it produces are less than a millimetre in size. Due to being non-orientable wormholes they turn matter passing through them into antimatter, and vice versa.
Render of a thinly-wireframed cubic volume of space. Within this cube is many small specks of orange light, some brighter than others. Thin whispers of orange gas drift organically through the space. In a few locations ominous shadows fill the voids of the web-like pattern of galaxies; deep pits of dark energy.
Chart comparing the amount of various resources on the Moon, and how many TWh each resource could produce if one mined all of it from the Moon. Helium-3 is right at the bottom, between 163 and 57.5 TWh. Meanwhile resources like uranium, plutonium, and thorium are at the top - with thousands of TWh.
In the middle of the illustration is a woman dressed in wintery clothing, above her head is some text pointing to her that reads "Marsh, 40 years old, works at the surface observatory array". To the right of her is another drawing of her, this time smiling while holding a can of beer, saying "Let's share a beer and convert raw telescope data into pretty pictures." To the right is a large column of text that unfortunately doesn't fit in the character limit for this. The column is titled "The Sun". At the top is an image of some stars against the dark background of space, at the bottom is a slightly fuzzy illustration of a space probe against the background of stars. To the left is another large column of text titled "The Earth", at the bottom is a speech bubble coming from the girl mentioned earlier. In the background is a drawing of the Earth, completely frozen over and airless. The vague outline of landmasses is visible in the shapes of the ice.
