Thank you very much! It wouldnt have happened without all that encouragement, haha

And some solipsistic fanart of my own work in the Shipbreaker's Toolkit (again, Mothership).

This processing setup has proved to be really fun and has produced a lot of neat illustrations in the past week or two -- this will be the first of many, hopefully.

People keep asking me if I have socials. Current socials? No. This is another attempt to change that.

It is also a new front in the TTT worldbuilding project/insufferable ARG. To start out, a little bit of commissioned work for various third party Mothership projects.

Haha, glad you do!

Poppy cake. Did you know that IRL i am a poppy cake chef of middling renown? I have in fact invented several poppy based recipes and dishes, a number that is also steadily growing due to my love for poppy seed. My favourite invention so far is a kind of pastry with poppy and hazelnut spread, but it needs something creamy or light to balance out all that nutty tang.

It's just platonic, dont get any ideas.

Whenever I draw for myself I think it often looks a bit skrunkly; I like to try out different ways to draw and stylize things more than getting super clean final images, but I'll probably start posting these doodle experiments too.

I think you've really outdone yourself with this one.

Not sure why, I think it's the spheres in general with that nice shadow-catwalk contrast is just really appealing to me on this one.

Daniel Vierge's 1871 drawings of female Communards in Paris for Le Monde illustré, it must have been pretty unsettling to the European powers to see women under arms with red scarves and black flags.

How much longer can you run for?

If you love these, it's good enough for me 😊

I dont really stick to one consistent topic, so there is little for an algo to pick up. I went viral a few times, but social media growth isn't really a big concern for me. People either stick around or they don't. That's the nature of doing *whatever*

All is well, I'll keep drawing and everything. Just less focused on maximizing marketability and revenue extraction.

Oh BTW I want to add this has absolutely nothing to do with any of you wonderful people or any of my most delightful commissioners, all of whom I loved working with. Comms will likely remain viable on a reduced basis.

This is entirely on my backend and drawing as a career.

There won't be too much of a change as to what you see me post, as this mostly affects the 80% of art I draw and don't publish.

However, I think I'll ease off on my "quality control for social media" and just post more sketchy and raw stuff, as drawing becomes a pure free time hobby activity again.

Heya, sorry for the erratic posting schedule. I have recently made the decision to no longer pursue a career in drawing and there are some hickups as I transition back into workforce.

I can make a small thread on that, if you want to hear my thoughts on 'breaking in' and/or freelancing art (lmk).

There is no warmer welcome to involuntary new friends than a thermobaric embrace.

I was told the translation is "even if the steel changes, the honor remains"

Next up would be redoing the namesake nation of FRANÇAISE with a more earnest attempt at combining tank armor and ~15th century knightly armor. A decorative cloth covering the plate with bare metal placard on the leclerc.

But I may take a little break from this series for now, it aint super popular

Last one of the Russian girlfailures. The TOS-1A counts as "unarmored" by the petit char design conventions, so no traditional Russian plate armor, but she is a close range urban brawler nonetheless.

A bit loser than the others to speed up the workflow (and have more fun)

Gm, are you back? :D

I think it's hard to grasp for people how ridiculously short that effective range is. 3300 yards is just over the M2 Brownings 2200 maximum effective range.

A javelin, though more expensive, covers over 4000 yards. We already have tried and proven solutions for threats in this range envelope.

Honestly I just enjoy the process of painting a lot so I just zoned out a few times having fun instead of designing everything with this one, lol!

I dont think I'll do much "clean" lineart anime stuff in the future, even when painted isnt very popular (at my skill level)

Sketch version of the above.

Sleeve tattoo

The tattoo is a lenin power pole cat hybrid. celebrating the electricifcation of the people. Ran out of time to design a full sleeve, but it's power poles and cats on her arm all the way up.

Also drew the gun a bit too big and not functional enough, but oh well :D Next time.

Petit Char BMP-2M (field modified). The BMP has little armor, so I just thought about strap on ERA bricks and the personality developed from there.

Still thinking about how to balance inbetween "cute outfits, uniforms, fictionalized armor, and historical armor". (BMP2m being the first, foremost)

She's cute

Yeah, I really wanted to just depict an ordinary day / moment. People just going after their own lives, in an extraordinary ordinary moment.

Hah, thanks. One can still dream

Wow, really? That makes me so happy to hear. I am glad you like it that much. First time I hear someone say that, too :D
I posted it on reddit a while ago, yeah :D

I have another similar one, I'll repost it momentarily.

Quite a few of you figured out my little hidden puzzle on this piece back then, and I have not forgotten you!

I just wanted to be able to "add more" to your reward rather than just repeat this, and so I didnt immediately start. But you'll get your reward soon. I promise.
Hint/teaser(?): Revolution

Thank you very much!
