I'm gradually building up a list of guidelines to help me improve as an artist. Just simple stuff. Here's one.

* If there's a place where one of your pictures could go, draw something and put it there.

This picture's pretty much an example of that guideline. I hadn't changed my Facebook cover photo for a while; needed refreshing.

I recall a discussion of this idea on the sci.space Usenet channel in the late 1980s. The general design does not seem to have changed much since then. Computers are more powerful, antennas may be more efficient/precise etc...

I suppose we can assume that a power density of 500 W/m^2 on the ground (50% of sunlight at noon) would be bad enough to make it a weapon. Right? >>
