RUNAWAY TO THE STARS: PAGE 68




Posted on September 3, 2024 by Jay Eaton

Ironically, mobile phones aren't famous for their self-mobility.

Transcript Idrisah: You think we’re BORED enough to commit CRIMES for a
STRANGER?
Bip: Well, now we’ve met! Would you consider crimes for an acquaintance?
Talita rubs her eyes and pushes her glasses up, holding her face. Her expression
is haggard.
Talita: Can everyone
please
leave my apartment.
Bip: I’d love to, but I’m 841 phones.
Talita: (murderously) Get off my tablet.
Bip's avatar looks nervous.
Bip: Could I at least get a yes or no on the power reconnection?


MINOR STORE UPDATE AND 3D TALITA

Posted on July 17, 2024 by Jay Eaton

Some miniprints and assorted stickers are now available in the shop. I am sold
out of the Shyam and Talita character sticker, sadly, but lots of new ones are
available as one-offs.

I have also gotten down to last handful of my Talita pins, some of which have
some enamel fill errors and resin dents that prevent me from selling them at
full price. If you’re looking for a discount and don’t mind some superficial
defects, check out the B and C-grade pins. They’re charmingly flawed, just like
the lady herself.

In other news, as birthday present for myself this year I commissioned a
low-poly Talita 3d model from incredibly talented artist Lazer-T (Tumblr,
Twitter, Bluesky), who really went above and beyond with rigging her silly
over-complicated design. Look at these turnarounds he did, they’re great:

There is also a Barbie doll nude version of her, since I wanted one for generic
posing reference (and also, she looks cool with the stripes out).

This model has among other things: 8 total eyelids, adjustable pupil sizes, an
antler slider with velvet stages, nostrils that open and close, and mane and
face feathers that can puff out. Here’s an example of expressive animation, also
done by Lazer-T!

[Silent animation of Talita looking away, then jolting in shock, blushing in
embarrassment, and waving bashfully at the viewer.]

I’m not very experienced with manipulating armature in Blender myself (I’ve
barely got a handle on hardscape modelling) but I’ve been having fun moving the
model around and learning how to pose different parts and use shape keys. Below:
me messing around with the file.

Ok, that’s all. I hope the turnaround gifs don’t make my homepage run like ass,
if they do I’ll replace them with the still renders.

SHINY NEW WEBCOMIC SITE

Posted on April 12, 2024 by Jay Eaton

Hello everyone. If you got here from social media, you probably know about this
comic already. I’ve been posting it to Patreon for quite a while, but it has
always been my dream to contribute to the ecosystem of free-to-read webcomics
that I spent the majority of my childhood voraciously reading while hunched over
the computer past my bedtime. I had initially started working on the Official
Book after signing it to publisher, though, and originally was only allowed to
post a third of it online. But a couple years into working on it, I got
permission to fling it out onto the internet in its entirety. So voila! Runaway
to the Stars: Book 1, out in public, updating 3 times a week!

If you hadn’t heard about this comic, welcome! Runaway to the Stars is a
worldbuilding project that I’ve been working on for over a decade. It started as
an excuse to design some aliens and throw all my science fiction thoughts in the
same vat, and eventually a book started to grow out of it like a fungus. If this
comic intrigues you, there’s tons of additional artwork, writing, and short
comics that can be found on my perpetual work-in-progress Neocities website and
my ancient tumblr blog. There is quite a rabbit hole to go down, if you don’t
mind some bespoke coding jank.

I’ve decided to not run sponsored banner ads because in recent years, internet
advertising has become so aggressive and hostile to adblockers that frankly I’d
rather not contribute. The random banner in the sidebar is a selection of
projects I like and stuff I want to promote. If you hate looking at it, download
uBlock origin and use the element zapper on it. It is your right.

That being said, to be pragmatic, the only reason the comic gets made as fast as
it does is because I currently make enough income through my Patreon and store
to not need a second job. If you like what you see and you’ve got money burning
a hole in your pocket, consider tossing me a buck. Patreon supporters get the
perk of reading the pages before they go public. As of posting there is a
massive backlog of over one hundred twenty finished pages uploaded there, so if
you want some instant gratification it’s a great time for it.

But regardless of anything, thank you so much for reading! I’m excited to share
this comic with you, and I hope you’ll stick around for the ride. See you on
Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays!
