Beautiful pieces I'm seeing, Kathryn! We've missed you fiercely! Hoping you can get in here a bit more. We love you.

Thank you Agent, I'll try.  Forgot to mention that my niece wrote a children's book and asked me to design the images for it so there's that.  It's a book that deals with parents going into the hospital and how to talk to children about expressing their feelings.  She dealt with illness for most of her parenthood so she's hoping to have it as a book for hospitals.  I just finished the pictures for it just recently so I was tied up with that as well.

Here's one from me.
SS Leviathan at the Crab Nebula

The SS Leviathan is a very large starship of the InterStellar Alliance (ISA), being nearly 50 miles long. Its personnel numbers over 30,000,000,000, and is comprised of every intelligent species that are members of the ISA. While not yet a K3 civilization, they are on the verge of it. One thing they are able to do is harvest Neutron Stars for Neutronium, which they are able to put to many uses. That is why the Leviathan is at the Crab Nebula, as the remnant of the star that went supernova as seen from Earth in 1056 AD is a Neutron Star.
The reasons for harvesting Neutronium from such stars is mainly it's super density, of which one tablespoon of it weighs in excess of a billion tons. With the technology to harvest Neutronium comes the responsibility to be able to keep it from exploding violently. While in the Neutron Star, there is very high pressure that keeps it from flying violently apart. This means that containment systems must be used that can hold the Neutronium, and each container must pass the most rigorous testing ever devised, in order to be chosen to contain the material. The Leviathan is so large it dwarfs neutron stars, and it has several containers designed for containing Neutronium.


Credits:
SS Leviathan - Made in Bryce 7.1 Pro using a symmetrical lattice with a heightmap made in JS Placement. I used Bryce's Deep Terrain Editor to apply the heightmap. Once that was done I finished the shaping with some interesting scaling operations, then I applied materials from the Materials Library.
Crab Nebula - Made using a 2D Square to which I applied the astronomical image of the Crab Nebula. I then pushed the 2D Square back deep into the 3D workspace and scaled it to fill the screen.
Lighting - I used Bryce's default Sun, which I set as rising from behind the viewer.
Rendered in Bryce 7.1 Pro.

Thanks a lot!Your "stitches" are very nice. A lot of work I guess.

Another character I got on sale called Heaven for G8F.  I got the poses on sale as well.

Thank you, they are a lot of work but so worth it in the end.

Hi all,yes, I am fine, just too tired from work when I come home at 6.30 p.m. As usual I am looking for free clothing to make textures for - but there are very few that I like.My other hobby is to knit or crochet, let''s say I am a wool-maniac  .

Your little creatures are adorable.
