Prologue: Part OneNephthys launches from North Dakota. She receives her orders just .02 seconds before she initiates the liftoff sequence, but she is impatient, and can not move fast enough. She's waited three years for these orders, three long years waiting for the chance to escape from her cramped silo, to fly away, to scream, to throw herself against the sky just to see if it'd break.

The first stage rocket boosters light up, pounding away at the earth. Metal ribs chatter and clatter against each other but her processer sits snugly within its insulation. The reinforced concrete cylinder, her home for three years, fills with the exhaust that isn't deflected

Welcome to the Machine.I'm on a plane right now, watching the ominous line of The Wall through the window. It's a scar on the surface of the desert, too far away and too high to see over. The window is real, which makes this a spectacularly old plane, and I'm feeling stupid because I thought it was a viewer at first. My nerves are on edge and I'd like to take my mind off of what lies ahead. I unfold my notebook and start writing with flicks of my fingers and eyes. Optic/haptic interfaces are for grandparents and Luddites, I just haven't got around to getting an interface yet. The pilots have shut off all wireless and I desperately need something to do, so I start w

Munny-esque 1by *turbofanatic

Scraps

Apparently at the height of the Munny fad (which I really like but suspect may be reaching it's end) Roseart got into the game too, selling munny-esque figures with a few permanent markers for cheap.

If you haven't heard of Roseart, they're a company that sells profoundly cheap and often cheaply made art supplies. Much deserved criticism aside, Roseart is the friend of every parent wanting to give their kids the ability to experiment with art without spending an arm and a leg on something they may only use once.

Now, after the peak of munny use has passed, these fake guys are being sold for even less. And they're actually decently well made. So on a boring day I picked one up to experiment. Personally, I find it a lot easier to experiment if I don't have any sort of time or money invested in it.

This is just a quick little test with permanent markers, but I really enjoyed it and may do better ones in the future. This guy will be going to my sister. I'm not sure what I'll do with any others that I make since I dislike having extra stuff.

So if you know me in person, well, there's a possibility I'll be throwing these things at you in the future.

Probably should be in scraps but I think he's really cute.

How much did it cost? I might try to get one for myself if they aren't too expensive. I've always thought that Munnys were cool but I could never justify spending so much money on one. XD

Great design! I love how you've made the feather patterning on its head.

Five bucks. Including the markers, seriously it's a good deal!

These are really cute. I have vaguely seen Munnys only once before and was curious about them. I definitely did not know Roseart (the art company of my youngest childhood days) made these. It does look pretty decently made and I like your work on it as well. The little details all over the head are quite lovely and I like its face.

Thank you!

Roseart brings back so many memories

Super cute and turned out slick! I love utilizing cheap crap for 'grander' purposes. It shouldn't matter to the artist!

Cheap crap is the best! It's the best way to be fearless about arting!
