- A merchant ship falls behind the formation during a crossing of the wind wastes on Calphis. This isn't an ideal situation. The barrens offer no sanctuary for a forced landing. The nearest settlements could be thousands of kilometers away. #hibourverse #illustration #NalinaofCalphis
- Space Ship Haaviq Aqui Laboratory floats in the seas of Icthara, a conservation orbital over Saturn. The ship is believed to be nearly as old as the orbital itself. #hibourverse #scifi #illustration

- What? You don’t obsessively draw things about your post-interstellar, industrial age, surface locked, faux Terran culture? #hibourverse #NalinaofCalphis #scifi
- I held off on this for a few weeks because I assumed I hadn't done much art in 2025. Turns out I was wrong. #hibourverse #2025summaryofart #scifi
- Civilization of 192 TIE (2373 CE) #hibourverse
- Some recent, sketchy pictures from the Calphis timeline. #hibourverse
- *Phone to airplane mode at 0500 central, lands about 5 hours later and checks phone*
- QRP to reintroduce yourself! (I’ve been here but it’s been awhile) I’m Zando. Hobbyist digital artist/writer who mostly focuses on my world building project, #hibourverse
- Happy Holidays to all the hardworking spacers out there.
- Artists still use Twitter?

- Man, looking back on what I missed on Spaceshiptember… all the ideas I had for “ruins”

- Also yes, I’m still alive! I’m learning to fly an airbus right now so I don’t expect to make a ton of artwork between now and December… but I have some to catch up on so I’ll probably trickle that in this month
- I’ve been putting off making propaganda/recruiting posters for the Galilean Federation, RFW and certain factions of the Kuiper Alliance for *years* I have thumbnails in my art folder from like 2021. I should really get to those sometime… #hibourverse
- Oh those are lovely.

- Well if Heg wanted to stir the active duty meme pages… I’d say he succeeded most at that.

- I know I can’t pour much into Spaceshiptember this year, but I appreciate all the interest. Going through a major career change right now, not a lot of time for #hibourverse
- Day 16: Armor A specialized, hardened lander begins final approach over Io. Scheduled flights come and go regularly for the few people who live and work in this irradiated sphere. #SST25 #spaceshiptember2025 #hibourverse
- Day 11: Dropship In the first decade of Calphis settlement (while the starships were still being deconstructed), precious shuttles couldn't be risked on bulk cargo shipments. Instead, early Calphians used cheap, disposable pods to deliver material to the surface. #SST25 #spaceshiptember2025
- Day 9: Hunter A remote, signal collecting spacecraft makes a low pass over Despina. Her antenna is turned away from noisy Neptune, facing outward into the high orbits... listening sharply, hunting. She is one of many thousands in the outer Solar System. #SST25 #spaceshiptember2025
- Ah man…. I was halfway into starting a piece for day 8, when I had a much better idea…
- Day 4: Freighter Ion-powered gravel bags are easily the most numerous cargo spacecraft in human space, powering the industry of a thousand worlds. Billions of tons of asteroid material traverse the solar system on multi-decade trajectories at any given time #SST25 #Spaceshiptember2025 #hibourverse
- Day 4: Repairs "Look, the irony isn't lost on me.... repairing the craft that repairs repair drones... I get it." #spaceshiptember2025 #SST25

- I swear I usually post art...
- Day 1: Launch (District Communications Office decoded telegraph - 24:11 Meridian Time) [Launch site Olia Basin to Minister of Orbital Affairs] - Launch operations terminated - Significant polar vortex - Grounded no less than three days - Weather updates to follow #SST25 #spaceshiptember2025

- More planes and places
- Gonna take me years to go through all my old photos
- Ah heck… I didn’t have time to prep.
