Hi. I'm Melissa. I'm just a cartoonist, which is why I never do this. I do commissions too. Party on. www.melissasumby.com/commission-me/ #portfolioday

Another art post? GASP. This was for Manu Koa and Ralen. I don't do a lot of scenic stuff like this so it was a fun challenge! Thank you both very much <3 #art

Finally found a decal that I liked to represent my Saberwolves Mercenary Company force (a 40k decal 😅).
Unfortunately I made a smidge of a mistake when putting it on the Awesome's left arm, but it kind of works well "damaged".

During insomnia time last night, I finished my binge read of the three Fox Patrol books by @swankmotron.com
SO GOOD!
Seeing LGBTQ+ folks represented in the first books I'm reading in the setting in a while was awesome.
And the ending of the third book had me crying with what happens at the end.

Work: Here is this mountain of things we need you to get done that are complicated and take time.
Also work: oh, btw, we need you to sit in 12 meetings over the next three days.
Also, also work: Oh, and can you do your regular work faster?

Happy New Year! May it be an AWS-8Q year for you!
An Awesome in the Saberwolves mercenary company livery with a little extra flare of purple as this is the mech my wife liked and her favorite color is purple.
This will be the second in command's mech.

That mind blown moment when I realized that the name of a D&D character I created (A panther ranger who goes by Dross) is apparently an actual word...and the definition somehow actually fits the character's backstory (at least from her point of view).
I very much didn't plan that but it works.

Small thread of recently completed #Battletech vehicles. Not too major in the grand scheme of things but good, solid acquisitions for a young mercenary company with a few wins under their belt.

Now, I usually internally sigh whenever I get a winter holiday themed set of dish towels for my kitchen...because we get *a lot* of them for some reason and I am not fan of them, so we don't use them
HOWEVER...this year my sister actually got me winter themed kitchen towels I will actually use! 🦊

Because making up your own Mercenary Force in #Battletech allows you to build out your own master unit list for different eras.
A salvaged Mad Cat that gets put to use (at some point) in the Saberwolves.
(Honestly, I did this to tease an acquaintance that likes Clan Wolf a lot 😅)

Final version of the SRM carrier (which was the thing I tested the livery on but added some minor details to it) as well as an Ontos heavy tank in my Saberwolves merc company livery.
Am almost done with another group of mechs and vehicles-even a Warrior v-tol! Will get them up soon!

Today, it's everyone's favorite little trashcan with an AC-10 that would lose to an Annihilator in a foot race (but only just): the Urbanmech.
Painted in my Saberwolves mercenary company livery and a very early, and very inexpensive acquisition for a new mercenary company.

Seeing this as one that would have been around at the merc company's founding.

A Blood Asp I in my Saberwolves mercenary colors. (This is from the Black Remnant box). Really love how it came out.
Definitely needs some decals and have some in mind but it means crossing the streams and entering into 40k territory 😄

@/orkhugs.bsky.social had a really awesome idea of my creating a group of mercs for #Battletech called the Saberwolves.
Sorted through the stuff I own and decided to paint an SRM carrier in a test livery.
I *love* it.
Now to paint a bunch of mechs and tanks I set aside for the mercs!

Well, my losing streak in #Battletech continues. My Fire Moth got its leg blown out from under it on turn one, so there went my ability to harass their LRM tanks.
Though, my Elementals did take down a near pristine Blood Asp by ripping the pilot out of the cockpit, so that was a win in my book. 😄

Now to wait (im)patiently until tomorrow afternoon.
