Earlier this year I had yet again the pleasure to work on a Key art for @Timberborn's new update!
I love the game and I encourage anyone to try it out if you like chill games and cute beavers.
This update added Ziplines and lotsa other cool stuff as you can see!
Hope you like it!

How (Vine) Mechs are made
YouTube video by Treelancer How (Vine) Mechs are made

New video is finally OUT!
It took a while, due to life and work getting in the way, but it's finally done. I definitely learnt some things I should NOT do with this one.
I hope you like it, and if you need a refresher on the LORE or are new please check the other videos in the channel!

Cheers!

It's not enough building a Vine Mech.
One needs highly trained pilots able wield its power.
The main way to learn how to do so is by using a highly faithful scaled reproduction, which develops the finesse and kinesthetics required for the real thing.

Hope you like it!

Video soon, link in profile

The Vinmeka, as they improved in form and function, quickly became the dominant force of war upon their introduction to the battlefields of the period.
Not that it ever stopped feudal lords from trying to tip the balance in their favor by mass of men alone.

Will be posting more stuff about VoW!

Something armored this way comes!
I've been a bit elusive the last few months, been very busy.
Among one of the things keeping me busy was working on the next video for "The Vines of War" my low fantasy worldbuilding project.
Expect a video by next week!

Cancelled project from years back, a bit more heavy metal than my usual, tried to really push the anatomy into badass weird places with these characters. Art director was Ryan Metclaf, who was fantastic to work with.

Illustrated image divided into four panels, each showing a head of a bat with a text label. Top left: little guy, a regular looking back with a dark face and light colored fur, top right: little guy deluxe, a bat with a mask and large ears alongside a bat with a leaf shaped nose, bottom left: what is even going on here, a visored bat with a large forehead next to a bat with a large, wrinkly nose, bottom right: o hi doggie, a fruit bat with its tongue sticking out.

Contrary to popular belief, there are only four kinds of bats.

Uff! blast from the past.
This one was done for a fb art group.
The challenge that month was to paint yourself with your own personal dragon.
Being a huge fan of HTTYD, I had to give it a go.
This even got me a spot in Imagine FX!
Back when I used to be young and carefree, time flies!

This year I got to know some absolutely amazing trans people irl for the first time as I became more politically active in protests and organizing.
Not only are trans people among the most marginalized in society, they are also some of the most aware, and brave people you can meet.

Uff, I absolutely know that weird mix of loss and anticipation when losing a save or a system.
But in the end, its all about enjoying the moment while we play, and fresh starts have a completely different feeling from playthroughs were you got everything.
enjoy!
