Absolutely nothing wrong with having tens of specialists and experts in the ship to make sure things run

It's more that a lot of stories have the "I invented X / am project lead of" person join the crew... rather than just someone who is an expert in gizmology but didn't literally invent the gizmo.

Scifi stories are great because they always send the gizmo-expert along on the mission.

Imagine if Oppenheimer had to personally fly the Enola Gay to make sure "the technology works" because "he is the foremost expert in the gizmo field"

Character preview for Manen Monark (title pending), a Molchit Technika prequel story.

Oh man, is it friday already? How time flies.

I decided I want to update my portfolio, so that's a big project which takes a lot of time. I usually sneak in my own worldbuilding, because why not, when I already do all this work.

Here's a little WIP for the characters I'll need to illustrate.

Some #art doodles. Trying new things.

Thank you for the wonderful commission!

Your paintwork is so beautiful

@gestaltzerfall.bsky.social did such a good job!

This rendition of Ishmael really brought our resident Martian revolutionary-on-leave to life 🙏

The Red Hand bleeds.

I included the sketching in the timelapse this time. But its mostly more stylized painting practice. I think I'm almost there with painting faces.

Brooke repairing her Bandvagn in a Swedish forest 💪
Feels good drawing her in military gear again ;w;

The 2000s are going to experience the same thing classical art did. Everything pre covid will be "90s" eventually.

Just like all oil paintings are "renaissance"

today’s gender

Getting the eyes to read well while in shadow was quite tricky on this one. Played around with using saturation a lot more than I thought I would

I think the handgun was the trickiest on this one. Should have taken the time to solve it during sketching instead of during the painting stage.

I also got the timelapses, here in order of creation. So you can see I got a lot more efficient as I dialed in on the final look.

Lancer TTRPG pilot commissions by Gestaltzerfall. That is me. Sometimes people might be curious "why dont you give concise information in these blurps, why is it always kind of vague?" Well, the sad truth is that alt text is used by GenAI scrapers to "tag" images. My friend, nytetyde, actually had his entire collective artwork scrubbed and fed into a GenAI model that explicitly attempts to replicate his style. So this stuff definetly affects us little people as well.

A few recent stylized #lancerttrpg pilot comms.

It's always fun and super rewarding to be given the trust to just shoot into a general direction with regards to stylization and land exactly where they hoped it would land.

Bsky is build on an open platform, you can easily see who blocked who, on which lists you are on, and every like a user made. All of it with time codes too.

Bookmarks are new, so I'm pretty sure that once the access tools are updated you can see all users bookmarks too.

This was the last jucika? Oh wow, bless you Pusztai Pál.

Me finding myself looking for nictanovas art

I gotta admit, it's a really, really surreal experience to look for some specific artwork for reference (the nictanova klbr portrait) and see your own work pop up in the top google results.

I think your embed failed 🤔

a digital illustration of Zagreus and Chaos from Hades (Game). Zagreus is floating above Chaos' outstretched hand in the middle of ruins. He's reaching one hand up towards a boon symbol of Chaos. Chaos' face looms big in the background. The entire picture is accentuated with purple details

Tarot card illustration of Zethino, a dryad from Baldur's Gate 3, representing the Ace of Cups card. Zethino is standing in a lake, holding a cup with 5 streams of water falling out of it, she's facing forward, eyes closed, reminiscing, she's surrounded by water lillies, a tree behind to the left and a waterfall behind her. A stylized white dove is directly above the chalice. The atmosphere is calm, serene, introspective. Zethino has red hair nicely parted in the middle, a big headpiece with leaves and antlers, pale green skin with glowing vines and her outfit is a dress made out of leaves and vines.

A study of J. C. Leyendecker's "Man and Woman Dancing" featuring Chiara and Lucanis. Chiara has her back turned to us, her expression is sultry, a small smirk escaping her lips. She's wearing a light blue silky dress with sheer sleeves falling over her shoulders, pearl necklace and silver bracelets and (engagement??) ring. Her hair is blue, held in an updo. Lucanis is wearing a traditional black tuxedo that is fully blended with the black background, one hand on the small of her back, the other in front. They are dancing.

Portrait of Nyx from Hades (Supergiant Games) Portrait of a regal looking pale woman, her waist-length hair is elaborately fashioned with a braid on either side and a high bun held up in part by a golden crown. Her hair also flares to either side in the shape of a pair of bird-like wings, and the stars of the night sky can be seen on the undersides of these "wings." She is wearing robes with crescent moon shaped pauldrons. Her chest, forehead and earrings are decorated with tear shaped gemstones. There's 3 skill shapes on her chest, the middle one is holding the mentioned tear shaped gem. Her eyes are closed, her expression calm. The illustration is in black and white with purple and gold accents.

It's my birthday! 🍰
May I ask for art shares on this fine day 💜✨

As a bonus, I've been wondering, is there any particular character or theme you'd like to see me draw in the future? If so, let me know!

"Sun" by Ilya Ozornin. I love this artwork so so so so soooo much. One day I can make something just as beautiful. Everytime I see this I am reminded of what I want to become as an artist. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/v2KkRx

Anko Uguisu from Call of the Night. I have never watched the anime but every clip I saw of her has been great.

I don't have "a type"
