Quick sketch of my dog, Layla.
She's a really good model because she was asleep for 90% of the time I spent drawing.

I didn't even notice that, lmao!
I could totally see him as a Duke 3D sprite.

This is one of my favourite ways to design a character.
Just sketching and erasing and chiselling away at a design for hours until every part looks just right.
It's extremely inefficient, but very fun.

I need to post the orktober sketches I've done. I'm pretty proud of this one so far.
Behold warboss Fragbang. He's very excited to fight his favorite enemy (that I haven't drawn yet).

Reading good nonfiction will teach you more about world building than 10,000 Brandon Sanderson YouTube lectures

Only Wizards should be allowed the burden of literacy.

The rest of you should be too busy building my obsidian tower beyond the great vast forest to worry about all those sigils you see on my scrolls.

weird painting to test out my new inking pen ☀️

watercolor painting- a woman kneels behind a bush, carrying an approximation of an antique musket/rifle (I did not look at reference for this one so the shape is a bit off lol sorry everybody!). She is wearing a wildly impractical but fun outfit- a high cut onepiece with baggy ankle boots, a helmet and a big swan hat/cape.

"Armored in psychosis" unironically goes hard as fuck.
I think they have the skills to make really amazing things. But I suspect they're either incapable of growing past their 2012 YouTube animation phase OR they just won't allow themselves to out of fear of the fan backlash.

'Goodbye, my colleague,' Trazyn said.
Orikan threw himself on the archaoevist, and Trazyn hugged him, locking his arms around Orikan's scrawny frame, carrying him to the ground.

I don't want to spoil it as there are things going on in this thread that need to be seen. Usually I'd be pissed off about the rubbish alt text and wouldn't repost this but in this case I don't even know how you would describe any of it.

You know what, let's do the Annual Mister Global National Costume thread tonight after all. Usual rules apply - this is all in fun, this isn't about the contestants looks or making fun of them, it's about the costumes and appreciating them (or, you know, making fun of them...)

To be fair: It might just be that I just like it because it's about Necrons. Everyone says the Mechanicus pov parts of Brutal Kunnin' were boring, but I quite enjoyed them, because I love admech.
I haven't read anything HH yet. Mainly been reading Orks and Necrons lol. Do I just start at no. 1?

Almost finished reading 'The Infinite and Divine'.

On top of just being an INCREDIBLE book, it really drives home how absurdly overpowered the Necrons are compared to every other faction in Warhammer 40k.

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.
