A photo from the wasteland (a building site I was on)
#photography
A photograph of a dilapidated room with bare floorboards and one wall that looks like just chipboard. Bricks are piled in an open fireplace with no hearth and there is a storage heater that is the room’s only light, casting a warm orange glow onto a pair of heavy work boots. Against the chipboard wall is a fold-out camp chair and a long tool with a dark jacket hanging on it.

Experiencing some colours this morning
A photograph of narrow grassy fields with late autumn trees either side. The sun is low, casting long shadows, and the sky is blue and completely cloudless

Finally finished painting my Allopex (and second ever #ageofsigmar model). Really loved building and painting this, it’s such a fantastic sculpt! Can’t wait to move onto the rest of my spearhead!

A photograph of a miniature from the Age of Sigmar model range. It is of two men riding a large armoured shark which is painted in a striped sandy colour. One of the men is armed with a sword while operating the reins and the other has a large crossbow attached to the back of the shark. The base of the model is sculpted to look like the sandy bottom of the sea. The background is flat white. A photograph of a miniature from the Age of Sigmar model range.

Was practicing skirts and shirts and it turned into a Whole Thing.

A #Battletech related illustration of a Loki agent clearing a Lyran facility with gusto.

Getting better at folds and I liked leaving the white border as a stylistic choice. Had fun with this!

Digital art of a young ginger woman with green eyes and pale skin, wearing a light blue blouse with a white collar, a charcoal pleated skirt, brown tights, and black shoes. She is kneeling down, firing a gun with what looks like a happy expression. The sleeves of her shirt are rolled up to show the tattoo of a snake coiled around her left arm. The background appears to be a concrete wall or corridor with some bullet marks and some yellow words in German and English.

Anyone want to hang out at the Ominous Cubist Building with me?
A black and white photograph of a building arrayed like a set of boxes with no visible windows. There are young trees in the foreground on grass with a gloomy overcast sky in the background.

A very stupid bit of art for the Halloween special episode of my ongoing #battletech rpg, featuring the main NPCs as the Scooby Gang. Had loads of fun with the poses and costumes even if doing the lighting and getting this many people in one image was hell lol lmao

#characterart
Digital art of four people and a dog in a darkened corridor, facing the camera and shining flashlights. Behind them can just be seen what looks like red eyes in the deeper darkness.

It's finally done. It's real. It's a physical thing. It's in the flesh (or paper, I guess.)

My book, What Remains, is complete.

“What’re you hiding under a pullover that size?”

Did some more folds & shading practice, had a bit of fun with it and made sort of a sequel to this one. Yeah the pistol is in an odd place, yeah I got lazy with the background.

Having fun & learning tho, and that’s the main thing!

Digital art of a young woman with copper hair, green eyes, and pale skin. She is wearing dark leggings and a baggy grey jumper. She is half turned from the camera and lifting up the jumper to in line with her ribcage to reveal a utility belt with some equipment pouches around her waist and a crosswise bandolier with a pistol on it across her back. The background is grey with some dark cracks in it.

Got a block with the Norse fantasy stuff so did some clothing shading/texture practice with Esther and turned it into something goofy

#oc #characterart
Digital art of a young redhead woman with green eyes wearing dark leggings and an oversized grey jumper. She is grinning at the viewer and has her hands on her hips. The background gives an impression of an autumnal forest in reds, oranges, and browns with drifting leaves and superimposed over it are the words “it’s finally autism~” in white text.

I caught a cold. Also, it's time for BattleTech news. *sneezes*

Yes, I censored the feature art, but that's just because Google gets upset with you otherwise.

"Never forget child that I am part of you and you part of me," the beast assured her, its voice echoing through her mind, "and in that you will never truly be alone."

Thought I'd do something different with this one while practicing anatomy (not sorry for posting feet on main)

#oc #characterart
Digital art of a nude woman with brown hair, glowing, golden eyes, and a wolf’s ears and tail sat on the bare ground with her knees huddled to her chest, legs and tail covering all intimate parts. She has tattoos on her forearms depicting wolves eating the sun and the moon and she is covered with cuts and bruises. She is looking at the viewer with curiosity and vulnerability and behind her head is a glowing halo while in the darkness above her is a barely-visible wolf’s skull with golden glowing eyes.

A woman in the black cloak of a Seidkona peers into a conjured mist. Human artillery, they were force multipliers for both sides of the Schism. This one has a brooch bearing the symbol of Lunn’s armies. Despite progress in equality, centuries would pass before men were able to join
#oc #characterart
Digital art of a pale, redhead woman with green eyes wearing traditional Viking-era Scandinavian clothing of a brown apron over a plain shift dress. The apron is fastened with gold-coloured brooches and tied at the waist with a rope cord, which bears a leather pouch. Over her shoulders in a knee-length black cloak, also fastened with a gold brooch. She is holding a wooden staff as tall as she is that is glowing blue at the top. The background is shrouded by mist but floating rubble can just about be seen through it.

Painted up some #StarWars Legion stormtroopers in time for my Saga Edition game last night and it turns out I suck at painting white lol. Look fine on the table though and it’s amazing how much basing can tie a model together, even if the paint job is butts xD

Five models of Imperial Storm Troopers from the Star Wars Legion miniatures range. They are wearing white armour with black accents and are carrying black blaster carbines. Their bases look like rocky, grassy fields, and they are photographed on a white background.

It has bare metal for some of the mechanical parts and weapons and scrap metal stained with red stuck onto the outside of the armour. Inside the gun barrels is also painted like red lenses.
