<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
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. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
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. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
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.</div>

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!<br />

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.</div>

Here's a look at the <a href="http://keiththompsonart.com/prints.html">art prints</a> available from my website used as props in the movie<br />
<i>Don't be Afraid of the Dark. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
In their context, they're illustrations made in 1909 by the movie's artist, Blackwood. They're maddened ruminations on his son's abduction by fairies.<br />

This was the first version of the fairy depiction. I was going for something very mysterious, as though the artist had only half glimpsed what they looked like (the earlier depictions of the fairies in this series hadn't been made yet.) In the end it was modified to more closely match the actual creature designs I worked on that went into the movie. The final version of the illustration can be seen in the last screenshot below.</div>

The accident on the Apollo 21
Lab Station couldn't be contained. Rescue missions
sent to the station disaster hurriedly collected
the lab's most recent studies of the sun's relations
to a quantum vacuum. Unexpectedly the teams
broke all protocol and transmitted this data
openly and unencrypted. The data was a garbled
mess of obscure information and bizarrely outdated
language. What could be gleaned from it though
were very clear specifications for angles and
spectral configurations for viewing specific
parts of the sun. Attempts of following these
directions using remote viewing from earth through
space telescopes ruined the orbital equipment.
All other manned orbital stations that attempted
it immediately cut off their contact with the
earth. </div>
<div align="left">
After a prolonged silence the
medley of military presences in orbit unleashed
themselves unilaterally unto the earth. Orbital
kinetic bombardment weapons carved strange symbols
across the earth's surface. The attacks on heavily
populated areas however were primarily carried
out by manned reentry drop-frames: armed suits
intended for quick reaction force insertion.
Millions of these orbital drop frames blazed
through the atmosphere, unfurling into their
squat insectoid shapes upon landing. The were
covered in hastily painted glyphs. Downed drop
frames always proved to have dead pilots hanging
limply within. </div>
<div align="left">
Their only communications were
being piped back and forth between the millions
of drop frames: an endless loop of a synthesized
voice saying </div>
<div align="left">
"Burn a path to earth. Prepare
them for the Sun's arrival."</div>Keith Thompsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08576216866824691912noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652710118466659714.post-3083381153199627582012-07-09T20:51:00.000-04:002012-07-09T20:51:46.786-04:00Pacific Rim<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Starting over a year ago I've been designing on Guillermo Del Toro's upcoming movie Pacific Rim. It's about humanity fighting off a Kaiju apocalypse with giant robots called Jaegers. There should be some cool stuff to show soon from Comic-Con 2012. My work on the movie wrapped up last week and I should now have more time to post new things. <br />

<div align="left">And I saw when the uniformed man opened one of the files, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four monitors saying "Come and see." I saw, and behold on the screen was a white horse: and he that sat on him had a rifle; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.</div>And when he had opened the second file, I heard the second monitor say, Come and see.<br />
And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great missile.<br />
And when he had opened the third file, I heard the third monitor say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.<br />
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four screens say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of rice for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the coal.<br />
And when he had opened the fourth file, I heard the voice of the fourth monitor say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and nuclear fire followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with bullet, and with hunger, and with death, and with the infernal machines of man.Keith Thompsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08576216866824691912noreply@blogger.com9
