Triadultus and Thanks!

Big thanks to everyone who voted for me in the Imagine FX favorite artists poll, landing me in second place!

Congrats to ImagineFx for reaching their 100th issue.  The Favorite Artists is covered in the Special Edition Supplement of the 100th issue: beta.imaginefx.com/shop/magazine/october-2013  

And here is that being I promised to complete for everyone as thanks:


The Triadultus have only made contact once.  Despite extreme reserve and secrecy in every other manner, their delegates arranged to meet in person at the First Contact Summit.  

Most of what can be postulated about the Triadultus is gleaned from exhaustive analysis of the physiology and behaviour of the delegates.  Notably they appear to be a colonial organism comprised of three distinct individual organisms. One organism comprises the base or "foot" of the body, and appears to be whole despite a physically intrusive interface with a lightweight synthetic trunk.  The two other partners in the entity appear to be cut down to a head and a single arm each.  

Communication at the summit was sparse and confused.  The Triadultus, despite initially appearing confident, became disoriented with their surroundings and uncomfortable with the human delegates.  Finely tuned questions and discussions-points from the Earth Plenipotentiary Peace Commission evidently disturbed the Triadultus representatives; revealing they were under the belief and experience that they physically resembled the homo sapiens they were meeting in every apparent measure.  The summit was cut short.  No followup communications with humanity have occurred since.

Art Prints

Due to new projects this is the last week of 2013 that I'll be able to make art prints for people to order.  In case you might be interested in ordering any prints (including any for Christmas gifts) you can see more about them here: www.keiththompsonart.com/prints.html and order any of them on their actual pages in the gallery section of the site.

ImagineFX Vote Thanks

ImagineFX has mentioned that there have been a lot of votes coming in for me in their favourite fantasy artist category.  I'm very touched, and I wanted to make something as a thanks to everyone who went out of their way to vote.  If enough votes come in the next 8 days to manage a mentioned placement in the results I'll paint up the art of this being holding the "thank you" sign!  I'll also write a small story about what it is and what its world is like. Right now it's a mysterious being offering a big thanks to everyone!

Pacific Rim Screening

Just got back from the cast and crew screening of Pacific Rim.  Guillermo Del Toro's love of the theatre experience is such a part of the fabric of the movie, it really deserves to be seen in a theatre setting.  It's an awesome movie, very proud to be a part of it.

Pacific Rim Russian Futurist Propaganda Poster

It looks like my Pacific Rim Russian futurist style propaganda poster is one of the posters that comes with the art book. It's the one on the right.
