A collection of karazadi soul-vessels - usually made with a stirrup neck to confuse the spirit captured within
in progress - Sofa's models for the heavy assault vehicles of the TESTING BLOC, built on the tracked rovers their ancestors used to cross the experimental geoengineering zone they call home...
Met the most handsome alligator lizard today (pictured here moments before he released a mighty dump into my hand, as I deserved for disturbing him)
I’ve got this original galaxy magazine issue that features “the dragon masters” as well as a few other editions of the book- still my fave Vance book, and maybe generally favorite book?
@sofamods.bsky.social has actually modeled one of those up already, too - and it looks gorgeous
The settlement's rover had long ceased to function, but it still had a place among us
Boots on the ground in Vancouver this weekend- if you want a fresh signed book, come on down to @vancaf.bsky.social and say hi!
Revolutionary guardsmen of the planet of Reunion during a very soggy amphibious landing (models by @sofamods.bsky.social for a little mod being put together)
This coming weekend - join @stefantosheff.bsky.social, myself, and a horde of other slavering cartoonists at @vancaf.bsky.social ! Vancouver! At the Roundhouse in Yaletown! Table C-8!
just thinking about how she would make a good star for a short comic - a day in the life of a train worker on a hundred-year-old maglev that is only barely holding together
the civilian "universal rover", repurposed by regional secessionists for armed conflict
A civilian version of the “universal rover” - great clearance, highly effective at clambering over obstacles, and sporting a sturdy smooth hull for scraping over obstacles. Perfect regional microbus for your isolated rural communities
Another riff on the idea of light man amplifier - for combat on a higher gravity world
@sofamods.bsky.social is slowly expanding the amount of grobusverse vehicles existing off the page, and into the land of VIDEO GAMES! Say hello to the Amphibious Universal Carrier...
It’s based off of a 1920s French concept vehicle that I immediately had to repurpose for my own evil schemes
Thinking about ducted fan combat aircraft- adorable little flying breadboxes of doom
Met a very lucky little fledgling today who managed to somehow crashland into the house and avoid the attentions of a dog by hiding behind his water bowl. Learning to fly is tough! (He was also too anxious to let go the paper towel I scooped him with, so we let him keep it)
Also this is making me think lovingly onto the old issues of Conan i grew up reading (from my dad's old collection) - the almost redundant narration, slowing you down a little as you read, and giving that lyrical-yet-pulpy quality to the whole experience
yeah its a cradleboard - classic childcare tool of north american natives, central asians, sami people, and a few others, when the baby is very young
Nothing quite like a flesh-golem-powered crane for moving heavy materials in your sorcerous lair
When you discover that the local abandoned temple to an unknown god has been turned into a sorcerer’s lair
doing some research for a new client project riffing on the "chariots of the gods?" ancient alien stuff from the 1960s and really enjoying it for the atomic-age folk religious moment it represents... (shame that the brain-rot of it still haunts us to this day, but fun to riff off of)
