Just getting started here so let's see....hmmm...Bone Babes I have painted thus-far. Yes, I'll start there.
Artists I am having a hard time finding you here so say what's up! I need to fill my feed with awesome so that I don't get diagnosed with "You are boring; here read about Putin."

This is going to look SO GOOD on my wall
Happy birthday to @fondalee.bsky.social's "Jade City," B1 in The Green Bone Saga! I went nuts painting a huge montage of characters and moments from the series, for @orbitbooks.bsky.social's box set.
Now, for 7 days only, oversized prints of the art are available here: www.tommyarnoldart.com/prints

2012: I read about early plans for the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art. I want to go there 👀

2024: Two of my covers are among the first-ever digital paintings acquired by the aforementioned museum 😅😱
2025: George talks about the #lucasmuseum at #SDCC. I still want to go there 🚀

More #Murderbot stuff; early days (pre-casting). I pitched a "living helmet" design long before we'd settled on using The Company's logo as MB's face. I'd hoped this could cover the opaque/transparent iterations, as well as provide some fearsome, almost Rorschach-blot-esue patterns for intimidation.

Can't believe #Murderbot Season 1 is already wrapped. It feels like just yesterday I was sketching out what the integrated arm weapons might look like, having a blast. Great times. Season 2, we await you eagerly. Gura stop being so cute in the end 😠 #conceptart

Just found out #Murderbot is getting a Season 2!! Praise be; we'll get to meet ART 🧡 Congrats @marthawells.com and everyone involved with this awesome show. Now go kick back in style and watch the finale. Then, let's do it all again. 🦾

PD Sue Chan & I tried some outlandish designs for MB in the early days of development. These intentionally alien, off-putting foam/organic suits never felt like MB to me (or to anyone), but they were weird and fun to draw. #conceptart

A recent cover for @jdrhodesman.bsky.social, for a series described as "The Boys + Neon Genesis Evangelion." It lives up to the hype, but is more philosophical / self-aware (in some ways, all the caveats, etc. etc.) and is more like "The Girls + Getting Goosebumps from the Awesomeness." #booksky

“False eyes” were a large initial design inspiration throughout the suit, and when we revisited the design post-casting I pushed a few options that brought that element up into the face. Pleasantly, they were well-received :)
But yea so creepy; it was all about balance, and that was too far 😅

These all rock, but as someone who hates things with weird eyes, 00b would be terrifying to see in a dark hallway.

Just a few of the jillion helmets I explored while looking for “the one.” In the end it was 6B that became the seed for the #murderbot helmet you see on screen - carried onwards, upwards, and across the finish line by J. Pastrana, CD LJ Shannon, & countless others unknown to me. Killer work y’all 🫶

A keyframe from my time working on #Murderbot, before the show was picked up by Apple TV. This was an initial take on the SecUnit fight inside Deltfall (Ep. 3). Pew Pew!

I watch #Murderbot on Thursdays, but I feel like Friday is "let's all geek out about Murderbot" day. Here's the concept I passed to the excellent team under CD LJ Shannon, including artists Gina DeDomenico and Jason Pastrana, who made clutch improvements toward the SecUnit you see on screen! 🧡

So if season 1 is #allsystemsred, season 2 should be "Artificial Condition," wherein MB smashes the crap out of some thugs in a hallway and also (more importantly) ART is introduced.
Boy do we love ART ❤️
