I love working #ConceptArt. Re-designing things or exploring completely new ideas from scratch. The iteration process of it. Trying to explore an idea while tying to make it workable withing the art direction & style constraints.
It scratches the creativity & problem solving itch at the same time.
My re design of an ettercap Exploring various ideas for a 'fungus moth' Ideas for a fantasy animal pen. A series of images showing the iteration process to develop ideas.

Pants! Learn to spell!

I wish. It was a cut n paste error from me trying to get the correct spelling. Am skilled.
pantmonger.bsky.social
Yeah, my bad. That's on me.

I mean this was literally a guy who was removed from Trench Crusades discord for deliberate misgendering, that their coterie then pretended was people unjustly being banned for 'vibes'
Fictional retellings are their raison deitra

Its 50/50 when these guys say stuff like that. Either blacklisted for their actions, or its a lie they tell their followers to sound like rebels, when what they mean is 'no publisher was interested in my work'

'Space Marine' written in 1993 by Ian Watson.
10:20- "I, as you may have heard, decided to introduce a homoerotic subtext with regard to what went on in the battle monasteries..."

Whenever culture warriors clutch their pearls about this stuff, its all performance.

"...Stormcast Eternals into some they/them nonsense. Female Adeptus Custodes feminizing 40k... ...they have this cancerous contingent doing this kind of thing."
Its bigot buzzword bingo!
But don't forget the kicker... The grift!
"Anyway I was blacklisted as an author so buy my novels" 🙄

Will it turn some TTRPG people to the dark side of miniature painting..?
Probably not. But should be fun.

Session 0 for my DnD game is this weekend!
I'm a big fan of having 1, & always kind of did them even back in the day (Although with less of the lines & veils)
After that everyone is hanging around to paint their minis, and not being mini painters, I'm going to run them through basic speed painting.

In case you thought this was weird theory crafting from me.
Comment on the novel 'Voidscarred'
Alien life forms being only men & women. Credible. Good sci-fi.
NB aliens "This ruins suspension of disbelief"
To them the setting is ruined by the very existence of diversity, but they're not bigots 🙄
Why the fuck would the Eldar justify 'they/themry' in universe? It's so jarring to suspension of disbelief.

Thanks. I'm definitely happy enough with how they turned out :)
pantmonger.bsky.social
Yeah. Ain't nobody got time for that :P

This is why 'Warhammer is for everyone' became a focus for their rage.
To them it can't happen without the setting becoming unrealistic, without it no longer reinforcing their beliefs, & all for people who are are lying about their interest.
This belief is of course 100% unadulterated garbage.

I built the base frame out of foamcore then stuck thin craft/pop sticks on it :P

Informed by these views, they see any inclusive change as setting destroying.
Because for them it is.
A setting that does not mirror their toxic views on race, gender roles and demonisation of the LGBT+ community, breaks their fucked up sense of verisimilitude.
pantmonger.bsky.social
when it spills into the setting, their bigoted views means they can only see women in specific roles. The faithful, the silent, or as baby making machines. 🤮
They do this for every hobby minority. They rage at black space marines. They declare the only place for LGBT folks is with Slaanesh.

To them making diverse people welcome will change the setting in irreconcilably bad ways. Their weird mess of bigotries makes them think they are the rational ones
IRL it manifests as:
"Women don't like war/wargames, stop trying to change the game to appeal to them"
pantmonger.bsky.social
Then accidental/subconscious win to me :P

The GW for 'Warhammer is for everyone' post was about the make up of the player base, (ie not just cis straight white men). It's not saying it catered to all tastes.
Bigots cant make this distinction. To them your gender/race/sexuality dictates your taste. Women like X. Gay people like Y.

I enjoyed Brutal Kunnin and Wanted Dead, less so
Harrowmaster, but that might have been limitations due to the faction.
He has become one of their woke boogeymen. Its very silly.

and the fact they will type 'Not everyone, its for *anyone* who... (insert shit they can't enforce, get no say in)'
