Wannabe writer and hobby artist. History grad on that law school grind.
New D&D character. A mass of sentient chaotic energy in a Tabaxi costume. My GM is a flexible/accommodating man 😅
New finished art in the '26? Crazy... Raginald and Lyra - characters from the novel I've been plugging away at. Raginald's an old anarchist working as an engineer at a small towns power plant. Lyra's a critical organiser and confidant whose faith is keep Raginald going
Kronjardan Avansert and ANLU Aerorifle This says a lot about society. (older sketches)
For a brief while I experimented with doing infographics like this. Maybe I should give 'em another go. Was inefficient at the time, but I think my process has improved😅
Corsair-class, from 2019 to now. Meant to be somewhere between a ocean going corvette and a Hind. Which is a lot for one little airship to do 😅
It's a fun bit! As risqué as I think I'll ever get with Sasha (at least with the 2d art).😅Quick sketch to get back into things.
What an odd year. 😅 I did actually draw a lot, but it was concentrated in a few manic months. Also, in some months, all I made were pencil sketches. I guess I was travelling during those periods? Lemme know if you have a fave! #YearinReview
Meant to do fan art for @radiarts.bsky.social Synergia like... in 2020. Was revisiting it (I haven't gotten through Sunrise yet) and remembered I never came through on that. I will say, with the rise of AI and discourse on LLM psychosis since I last played it, the game hits very different.
Never posted this here? Shirudan Kimon-class and a Karelian FI-10 spooking each other. Kimon's are specially designed airredoubts meant to help the Shirudan's navigate around Treaty of Phyber restrictions on airship size. They are a rarity by the late Northern War after the loss at Aki #airfortress
The Grand Strategy/TTRPG alleviates some of this - but I feel this problem will linger withing Airfortress/#innenring forever. (I feel like our compadre Roi, who has no account here, has been suffering with me working through this for years now 😅)
How do you convey living in Frida's patriarchal social democracy or the ANLUs decentralized planning? I kinda feel like the only real way to explore it is to write - but that leads to a disconnect between visual depiction and what's actually happening. (art of @kingvangarh.bsky.social )
My perpetual crisis with #Innenring is always its core having been a military setting. I find it hard to engage with the social side of it. It's easy to draw a tank and state it depicts a military force. It's much harder to depict social organisation or communities.
The compatriots of Friedman's 1831 Eastern Expedition. Free Hijjian volunteers - working-class Hijjians from Western cities who've bet on the HNLU bringing equality HNG Worker Militia - Militant Aequalists from across the HNLU HRA regular - heirs of the old Co-Belligerent Army #airfortress
Tried about 2 hours of Battlefield 6 today. Not a ton. But I'll add my two cents as a vet since '42. I actually think it's a very solid foundation. I think the menus are a bit clunky and I think the auto heal is a bit fast, but nothing major. Curious to see how a more open vehicle heavy map plays.
Sable from @apdoodles.bsky.social Project Margrave The over-the-shoulders coat 🤤
Back? Maybe? Been poking at an urban fantasy/horror magical girl setting. Kind of want to make it a VN, but I need to get my quality up methinks. Otherwise, been working on trying to get bolder with lighting. 🤔
Canyon trails of the old continental interior. Art for the Airfortress TTRPG we've been picking at for the last few years 😶
Sasha is in her regular day-to-day attire. I had to get a quick sketch out to have the idea "on paper." (she's the "driver" of the Roaring Torrent)
ANLU Aerorifles in central UHR alongside a local Free Hijjian fighter. I imagine that lady's colourful garb is a product of quickly dipping from work when the Aerorifles arrived in town 😅 #airfortress
I want to draw a lot more Aerorifles this year. They were supposed to be the cool NCR Ranger types of Airfortress, but I've never really given them that. #airfortress
I think the large beams it's carrying on the bottom are large AN/APY-7 style radars, which Vanguards can use for ground surveillance. May adjust the size because I realize it's a bit over the top as depicted.
Happy New Years compadres! Haven't drawn the Vanguard class in a while, which is funny because it was meant to be a focus. So, I thought I'd return to the design and do a bit of a study as well. Don't have access to my proper tablet, so I'm working around a few limitations. #airfortress
