Description
Once again dealing with the important scifi question... how fast is your spaceship? Number 7, the Event Horizon. Love the design of the ship, but you could never get me to fly on it
Pencil/ink. Paint in photoshop.

I've been stuck in Cleethorpes over a wet bank-holiday weekend in February with three kids under 5 and a car-sick dog... a trip on the Event Horizon would be a luxury cruise in comparison.

Nope.. 1000 yard stare and a grim determination to never do anything like that again... I've had 'Nam vets buy me beers with that story.

Event Horizon, or perhaps more accurately, what happens in Warhammer 40,000 if a ship goes through the Warp unshielded for any great length of time. xD

Missed opportunity:Β "Keeping up with the Cardassians" LOL

I was going to paint that exact thing a few years back, but too many people had already done photo-manipulation versions out there... I really shouldn't google stuff and just paint things anyway

Huh?Β Whut?Β *blinkblink*
All I meant was the word-play, were you mentioned the Kardashians.Β Or maybe you replied to the wrong Comment?Β o.0

Sorry - I thought you meant a picture of the Kardashians as Cardassians (alien race from Deep Space Nine).
Its really late over here, so I was probably very vague

My favorite so far! Two words ... NSEA Protector and Icarus II, OK technically more than two words but I believe they fit your criteria......

Cheers! Galaxy Quest is one of my all time favourite movies.... but already funny enough on its own and I don't really have a good 'gag' for it.

another great one and really funny !!

I knew the Kardashians had to be from another dimension.Β Kim's dimensions simply don't fit into our space-time.Β Wow, you even managed to throw in all the Matrix and Jurassic Park movies.Β This might qualify as its own IMDb.com page.

Hahaha! Not sure IMDb is ready for that kind of mashup. My faith in humanity has been partially restored after seeing that 'Keeping up with the Kardashians' rates a 2.8/10 on their site though. Still ranking 2.8 marks too high for me, but we have to make allowances for the fact that we live in a world where people need warning labels to tell them to use before expiration date and that things will be hot after heating.

"Kind of like watching Keeping up with the Kardashians!"
Spot F/king on!!!!
And it will get worse - "Neo will save us" - or God forbid Kanye "I am so GREAT!!" West.
At that point I would gladly jump into the abyss with Mr Neil and all his raptors
Quality humour and skill again sir- bless your existence

And "Morpheus" is also a NASA spaceship project

In fact, more a lander like the LEM... but OK

YESSSSSS!!!!! Oh man, this series is getting so awesome, and you've just added a shining jewel to it!

Thanks man! I always planned to do 'Event Horizon'... I had a gag about the propulsion and I really wanted to draw the space ship

It's a real beauty, innit?

Do " Battle Beyond the Stars"Β
the ship has boobs! Β -->Β www.modelermagic.com/wordpressβ¦
as does she ...! -->Β plissken.free.fr/Covers/B/Battβ¦Β (Now that's an 80's space costume if ever there was one.)
and the whole thing is just a rip of the seven samurai/magnificent 7 so heaps of material in that as well to spoof

Its been a long time since I've seen that one! Don't remember it making any reference to speed or propulsion methods though, which makes it kind of difficult. May watch it again and see. I have an old cheesy scifi gag already, but I'm saving that one for 'Flash Gordon'

Um... am i the only one who thought the thumbnail of the ship looked like domo????

Early attempts at navigating the Warp without a Geller field were messy.

Short version is that FTL travel is done by traveling through Warp space. And just like in Event Horizon it is really bad, a hell dimension. Without the protective shield called the 'Geller Field', things like in the movie - and worse - can happen. And sometimes happen even with it.
I found the parralels interesting, so it amuses me to think of them as the same universe, just at different point in history.

You're killing it man. Love the series. Love this movie too!

Scarier than my usual movie fare, but great cast and loved the design!
Cheers!

Another great choice for how fast is your spaceship.

Thanks! I was really looking forward to it... the gag idea came easily and I really dig the spaceship design in that movie.

brilliant. love that film. Have you considered Forbidden Planet?
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks! I actually did a few Forbidden planet drawings shortly after Nielsen and Anne Francis both passed on, but I've never finished them. Not sure I'll use them in this series, but I do want to revisit them one day.

you are very welcome. looking forward to viewing your 'how fast is your spaceship?' series. All have been amazing.Β
Did not expect Event Horizon. Another good ship design 2001 Space Odyssey. Then there is Silent Running and not forgetting Red Dwarf.
π: 0 β©: 1
Silent Running was such a great movie. Ahead of its time I thought. Bit on the sad side...
I don't think the ship was that iconic though but each to their own.

i agree great movie a bit before my time tho. hopefully sad i thought of the movie, but a do like the robots.
