Looks vintage, I like it boof :)

Thanks! It is quite old-timey-wimey, isn't it ^////^

Yush boofy woofy 😊

awroof!

aboof!

Imagine this, boof... You build a monitor from a kit, it's about the size of a suitcase with a glass viewing lens about the size of a beer coaster. You hook it up to your computer and cue up the new video; through the lens you see a circular, ice-blue image of me in a vest and bow-tie with a pencil-thin mustache, reading morbid 19th century poetry in a dramatic and mysterious fashion. After 5 to 10 minutes I abruptly lower the book, peer into the camera and say, "Until next week... farewell!"

I think that would be lovely boof ^^

Interesting. Will you flesh out this idea more? Perhaps use it in a story?

Yes and yes!

I actually hope to someday build a working prototype of this and produce some videos for it. This is intended to be an electromechanical video system, the cool thing about which is that a) the video signal frequency is low enough that it can be saved as a sound file or even on a cassette tape, and b) the displays can be built mostly from items you can buy at a hardware store.

As for using it in a story, quite possibly. This sort of thing would fit nicely in some of my steampunk "McCoon" series, if I ever get around to it, as the second generation of said story would take place in the mid 30s.

But regardless of what I do with either of these, I will definitely be drawing some more conceptual art regarding Vidiola. Perhaps soon!

Will look forward to seeing the results.

Yes, exactly like that ^^ I actually already built one similar to this example, but from a kit, and it used the older 30-line vertical scan format.

Hmm, maybe I should post some pictures of that as well.

It's a fascinating aesthetic history as well as a cultural one! And I actually just recently learned about the Predicta from a restoration video on YouTube ^^

Awrooo! <3 *hugs*
