This is an image of a custom Smith-Shimano Corpro Emperor frame. It is mostly white, almost porcelain, with black in its joints. Its armor plates are trimmed with gold. The golden pieces are detailed with bas-relief carvings depicting greek-style figures in the midst of a hunt, as well as figs and fig leaves. The mech is topped by a golden crown, and a crimson cape is draped over it's right shoulder. In its left hand it holds a Marathon Arc bow, which is crackling with blue lightning. In its right hand, it holds an arrow - its tip made of blue energy with flame wreathed around it. Beneath the mech there is text reading "SSC EMPEROR: White Widow".

Custom commission for a #LancerRPG SSC Emperor, the White Widow - a frame fit for a king.

A Chomolungma Lancer mech is carefully balanced on one leg, the other leg raised and tuck in. Its right arm has a small buckler-like shield on it, and is raised up to cast green liturgicode in the air in front of it. Its left arm is tucked behind it, couching a long energy spear across its back. The tip of the spear is crackling with energy. The mech is colored in blue, white, and black, with golden highlights along its edges. It is lit from within by a green light. Its metal plates are smooth and rounded, and long ear-like fins extend from the back of its head. Its legs end in high-heel-like feet. The GMS logo is emblazoned on the right of its chest.

Another #LancerRPG commission: "Siren's Call", a GMS Chomolungma with a hint of Black Witch mixed in.

An Amber Phantom mech from the Lancer TTRPG is hovering in mid air. Its coloration is largely like the stock amber phantom, with white and black plates highlighted by gold and purple. Its two lower arms are outstretched to the side, cradling purple lightning within their palms. Its two upper arms are held in front of it in a praying position. A ring of lightning spirals around the praying hands. It's head is raised to the heavens, and its collar is wreathed in nanite-filled Balor-like fire. Above its head, a halo of green Balor-flame is circled, wreathed in the same purple lightning as its hands. The ribbons normally coming off of the Amber Phantom's back are Balorfire as well, coiling around the hovering figure. Text at the bottom of the image is heavily glitched, but reads "Smith-Shimano "Amber Phantom", Malef Amalgamation".

Finished #LancerRPG commission of a Balor-infected Amber Phantom - the "Malef Amalgamation".

A stock Tortuga mech from the Lancer TTRPG posed with two guns pointed in the air, leaned back and wide-stanced. Beneath and between the Tortuga's legs is the mech's pilot in an identical pose, also with two guns.

Just finished this commission of a #LancerRPG Tortuga fully stanced up with its pilot.

Fine by me, thanks!

This is an image of a large mech from the Lancer TTRPG in the shape of a spider. It is using an IPS-N Drake frame, but is fully not humanoid, walking on six giant spider legs. The legs themselves have large plate shields attached to them. At the front of the spider, it is sporting two short arms ending in miniguns. One minigun is raised and firing, the other is lowered and smoking, both have piles of spent casings beneath them. The spider's body is hiding behind one of the plate shields on its front leg, and incoming fire is ricocheting off of the armor, splintering into a spray of hot metal. The main body of the spider is a dark grey blue, clearly worn and scratched from overuse. The legs are a desaturated red, and are even more damaged than the rest. They are pock-marked with dents, bullet holes, and scratches.

Recently finished a #LancerRPG commission of a super-custom Drake in the form of a spider. It has two guns, plate shield legs, and a very straightforward approach to problem solving.

Also here's the two art cards I made for it.

Just finished my best #Viscous #Deadlock edit ever I feel.

He's an uncommon God to worship with little power when compared to the more major pantheon, but those that turn to Him often do so to ward away the prying eyes of the law or corporate security.

This is a piece for my own cyber-fantasy TTRPG setting called Eratoh, about Gods that live on the internet, and the street shamans that tap them for power. This particular street shaman is a worshiper of Herjé, the Cracked Arrow, the Lord of pointless searches and lost prey.

It is dusk within an empty lot in the depths of a city. Four silhouetted figures stand highlighted by streetlights in the vacant lot, clearly having some kind of clandestine meeting. One holds a briefcase while the others speak to one another. In the foreground, slinking around the corner of an old brick building, there is a woman holding a firearm, a hand-rolled cigarette pressed to her lips. She has dark medium length hair and is wearing a short cropped jacket and a sports bra. She has a multitude of tattoos and piercings. Above her head, there is a ring of white fire hovering in the shape of a halo. On her gun hand, her strange arcane tattoos are glowing white as well. Her gaze is clearly turned towards the distant meeting. They have not yet noticed her approach. Her gun is glowing with energy, and steam is pouring out of a vent in its side. She seems about to make her move.

"Send thy prayers to the dregs of the gutter, for there also layeth the divine."

A pixel art image of a man on a small screen. He is shooting the viewer a confident look. He has short silken black hair and tan skin. He is wearing a breathing apparatus around his neck and is sporting a large padded green pilot's jacket.

This Metalmark was a beta design initially shopped to the Second Committee before it collapsed. It was squirreled out of a SecCom military base by its test pilot when the government fell, and was then passed down to his children. It's current pilot is Alder Bradley, a grandson of the original pilot.

A closeup of the above image. This closeup clearly shows a logo emblazoned on it's left shoulder. It is the sign of the Second Committee, painted over with a red "X". A golden crown has been painted above it.

This is a closeup of the above image. It shows more clearly the single red eye, as well as the numbers "03" on its chestplate.

Here are some closeups of it as well.

This is a drawing of an SSC Metalmark from the Lancer TTRPG. It has four arms and is standing on two digitigrade legs that end in talons. In two of its arms it's holding an extremely long railgun rifle, and in its other two arms it's holding two pistols, one of them is actively firing at an unseen target offscreen. Smoke billows from the other pistol and the rails of the railgun. The mech is plated in military green armor plates, and beneath them is a tangle of organ-like reddish tubes. It's head is black, with a single red eye flashing within, staring away at its target somewhere nearby. The mech is named "Tigranes".

I made another #Lancer #LancerRPG guy. This one's an SSC Metalmark. The four arms are so it can hold more guns at once.

LOG 6: ASL Alphabet ASL, or American Sign Language, is a member of the French Sign Language tree that originated in the late United States of America. Although it uses some English loanwords, ASL has a different lexicon and grammar than English, and many anglophone regions like Great Britain and the Socialist Republic of Mars have endemic sign languages that have no mutual intelligibility with ASL. Gillie is fluent in a Jovian ASL dialect which has influence from both bug ferret culture and Língua Gestual Cetásereio, a sign language used for underwater communication by Cetasers, an amphibious clade of GMH. LGC is closely related to Libras, a Brazilian sign language. Insert panel: Two Cetasers sign to one another underwater. They are humans with short webbed limbs, cetacean-like tails, white and grey skin, and gills on their neck. A table is shown of the ASL alphabet, with Talita's hand position compared to Gillie's. A B C Talita: Uh… Talita creates the C shape with one thumb up, then moves it next to the other thumb to create a symmetrical C shape. Talita: …Both thumbs?? Gillie smiles and gives her a thumbs up. D E F Talita switches between a version where she holds two digits up and pinches her other finger and thumb together to form a circle, and one where she touches her thumb to her palm and holds the other 3 digits up. Talita: Circle or three fingers? Gillie: (ASL) Circle. G H I Talita: Very similar to "A." Gillie: (ASL) Sign "A" open for clarity? J K L M Talita's face bristles and she frowns as she looks at her hand attempting the M and N handshapes. A human thumb poking through the curled pinkie and ring finger of the "M" handshape and between the ring and middle finger of the "N" handshape are not something her symmetrical four fingered hand can clearly replicate. Talita: …These two, are, uh… Gillie: (ASL) Good enough. N O P Q R S T U V W Talita smiles, making a handshape with 3 digits extended and one thumb curled against her palm. Talita: Ah, 3 fingers is more important here than in "F." Gillie nods. X Y Z "ILY" "I love you" Both of them giggle as they sign their versions of the combined I, L, and Y handsign; Gillie with her index, pinkie, and thumb extended, Talita with both thumbs and one finger extended.

A couple weeks ago (oops) on #RunawayToTheStars: Gillie and Talita develop an ASL alphabet that works with Talita's hands.

A mech stands at ease with a thermal rifle held in both hands. It is an SSC Monarch with a custom paint job - blue with white trim. Its twin shoulder missile pods are closed, and it has a large over-the-shoulder missile launcher slung over its left hand side. The mech's head is fixed with a large white ring mimicking a halo. Its right shoulder is emblazoned with a logo of three white hands in a triangle formation with 1-K written across them. Also on its right shoulder, its pilot is sitting on a lawn chair raising a glass to the viewer. She is tanning in a black bathing suit and there is an open bottle of wine beside her. She is labeled as "Margot 'Polecat' Wojciech" and the mech is labeled "SSC MONARCH: One Thousand Grasping Hands"

Finally got around to building an actual character sheet on COMP/CON for #Lancer #LancerTTRPG. This is my lady, Margot and her mech, One Thousand Grasping Hands. She can definitely be trusted with Gandiva missiles.

New #deadlock video. I'm now officially endorsing second-buying echo shard.

instead of vowing to take itch down with your justified anger, redirect that anger at the institutions who are directly responsible for strong arming every single platform that sells adult and/or queer art:

Could I get uhhhhhhh... one VHS of 3 Ninjas (1992)?

A man in immense sci-fi power armor stands at attention, a rifle slung across his front. His armor is a dark greyish purple trimmed in gold. He has a red shoulder-cape draped from his right arm, and a giant rosary tangled around his left. His helmet has three red pinprick eyes arranged in a triangle. In the top of the image he is labeled "Chaplain 0030: Caramai".

An image styled to look like a PC-98 era VN depicting a young woman in a city street looking directly into the camera. The image is surrounded by a UI which identifies her as "Maiko". She is saying "I don't know if I can trust you with this.". Just beside her dialogue box there is a small meter which seems to indicate her trust level is low.

Two women sit beside a large red shipping container. They're both wearing uniform letterman jackets. The one on the left is lazily holding a cigarette at her side in one hand and has the other on her hip. She has short cropped blonde hair and is looking down at the one on the right, who is sitting on some kind of sci-fi looking container. The one on the right has longer dark hair tied up into a ponytail, and seems angry about whatever the left one is saying.

This image is fashioned to look like a fake screenshot from an animated show. A young woman in a letterman jacket hunches in an old, barely-cushioned sci-fi pilot's seat. She is leaning forward, sweat dripping from her face, staring blankly ahead. She has short cropped blond hair hanging down just above her eyes. Some kind of plug device juts unnaturally from the base of her neck, sprouting a cable which disappears behind the chair. Another woman, mostly off-screen and wearing a matching letterman jacket is poised with one hand on the cable and another on the back of the first woman's head, seemingly ready to unplug it. Subtitles, implied to be from the first woman read: "Just pull it already."

What's poppin' #PortfolioDay? I'm Arc. I make a variety of arts and love doing work on TTRPG's and indie games. I'm open for work and for personal commissions at the moment and I would love to do some peoples' TTRPG characters. Also feel free to check out my website at jayknoxart.com.

A scene from in the VIP pit of a Lancer mech duel in the Grand Arena of Throne Karrakis. Colorful pennants sway in the breeze high above the stadium. Huge shades that look like translucent petals shade the spectators, seated in the sandy white gallery stands. The architecture flows and curves rather than being rectilinear or purely circular. Pointed archways from the main arcade level. Ornate fluorescent light chandeliers light up the shaded stands. On the Field, a massive black Lancer frame lunges forward with a black broadsword, boosted forward with back-mounted rockets. A red ponytail flows from its helm. Parrying the blow in a shower of sparks is a sage green Lancer frame with a curved scimitar-like sword. It pirouettes on digitigrade legs, its blue cape tails swirling in the arena dust. It is adorned with golden filigree. In the pit, two factions face off, each representing their frame in demeanor and attire. On the left, matched with the black knight mecha, a cadre of nobles (perhaps from the House of Stone), all in black and red and metal and furs, stand haughtily. The main one raises her whiskey glass in smug superiority. She has dark skin and an undercut hairstyle of red hair. Next to her is an older man, bald and bearded, with dark skin and a grumpy expression. On the right, representing perhaps the House of Glass, a rakish young noble lifts his wine glass in mocking salute. He has twin swords on his belt and an orange cape. Next to him is a beautiful noblewoman in a dress covered in rose-like flowers. a chain veil covers her face. Behind them, vidscreens show alternate angles of the mech duel, including shots from the cockpits of each frame, showing the determination and effort of each Lancer that pilots them.

An Everest-pattern Lancer frame, destroyed in battle, kneeling in a snowy, ashy battlefield in the middle of a ruined city under an overcast sky. The pilot huddles near a portable heater nestled between the frame's legs.

Illustration of a Cleric of Deneir. He is a stout man with light skin and thinning hair. He is wearing green and earth-tone medieval garb. He has a leather breastplate over a green tunic, with a fringed green cowl over it all. The cowl has metal plates sewn in the fringe. He has a leather belt, from which hangs a dagger with an antler handle, a metal flanged mace, a leather purse, and a leather book holster containing a large bound book. Also hanging from the belt is a metal reliquary that looks a bit like a tall and thin bird cage. Within it is an eagle feather quill. On his back is strapped a rucksack, a wooden shield, and a crossbow. He has eagle eye googles pushed up on his forehead - they are styled after an eagle with a beak and feather designs. He is looking at his hand in bemusement - a small black-scaled wyvern is perched on it, looking back at him. Beside him is an array of all his inventory items. The shield can be seen to have a design on the front of the iconography of the god Deneir - an eye, the pupil an equilateral triangle, and a lit candle above, within some circular designs.
