I have had this posted for some time. Now a friend has done an animation of this, he insisted that I credit the program, Quickdraw. Watch this stunning short cartoon of my version of Gully Foyle hitting the distress signals on board the shattered spaceship Nomad- https://file.aiquickdraw.com/p/f813894f-2626-4602-b8e3-f38787c87330.mp4   I am just astonished and very grateful to https://www.deviantart.com/mate0-art for this delightful and very unexpected gift, he is the one who originally colored my pencil drawing of the cruelly abandoned sailor on board the war destroyed ship. The Stars My Destination, Alfred Bester. 1956. Here are some more animations done by the master artist MATEO-art- file.aiquickdraw.com/p/1d3ec8f... file.aiquickdraw.com/p/51d2711... file.aiquickdraw.com/p/8f67c90...
