Post your marine themed art.

A space marine from the Blood Amgels chapter in big, red armor with a black-winged teardrop on the pauldron.

Blood and souls...

A pale, thin man shirtless, but wearing red trousers and armored arms and lower legs. He has blue-white hair and a large black bladed sword heated upon his right shoulder. The air behind him seems to be opening, portal-like into a purple place with ghostly yellow tentacles writhing within it.

Chaos Goatman I did earlier this year, fun little weirdo.

A goatman in rusty, battered armor. He wears a chaos symbol on his chest and has a large spiked club in his left hand. A belt of skulls adorns his waist. He looks pretty cool.

I made a dinosaur for our book drop box at work. I heard my first "oooh, a dinosaur!" from a small child today and it was awesome.

A book drop box at a library. The opening is a dinosaurs mouth. The dinosaur is various shades of green and has a long open snout. The design is based on a suchomimus.

I don't know what this actually means, but I wanted to try it.

A screenshot of my test results for differentiating between two very similar colors. My result is 0.0030, I don't know if that is good or bad.

Share your skull art... Show me your skulls...

A dingy yellow carnivorous skull, jaws agape with bloody white eyeballs surrounded by sketchy, ghostly white teeth on a black background.

Desert Warlord

A large, horned figure with red skin wearing a bronze scaled sleeve on his left arm. He wears necklaces of teeth,bones and beads. He has a large bronze "barbarian" style belt decorated with flowery designs, lined in fur with the broken blades of his enemies hanging off from it. His leather shirt also bears flowing, flowery designs in light blue. He's carrying a large bronze axe and looks ready to use it.

Flowing dunes recede into the background behind him.

If you see this, post a monster.

Just finished this one. It was fantastic; weird, existential, deeply human. It was exactly the book I needed to read exactly when I needed it.

The cover image to Slow Gods by Claire North. A lone ship depicted in bright, light yellow crossing into the center of a series of concentric red circles with planets, also in red, floating at the periphery.

A Mork Borg weirdo type. Thinking about doing a little book of these, just odd characters/encounters.

An old man with clownish white hair, staring upwards, wide eyed. He looks unhinged, dark black circles under his eyes,mouth agape, teeth slightly sharp. He's wearing rusty chain maille voiders overtop a dirty, stained arming coat. He's speckled in mud and, most likely blood. In his left hand he's loosely holding a man catcher device with pointy brass spikes in it. The shadow he casts on the ground is very goblin-like.

Fixed it...

A black and white, medieval style illustration of a monstrous sea creature with a boat growing out of its back. The creature looks like a mix between a fish, walrus and pig. It is swimming in a bay in front of a cityscape of mixed old world buildings and crumbling stone fortifications. Its raining, its always raining

Bill@warbeard· Feb 12

Been a pretty lousy year so far, so I decided to spend a few days revisiting The Rainy City.

Doin' weird digital ink stuff today.

A weird, tentacle/eyeball monster. It has one big eye with three irises. White ink lines define the texture on black, blurry ink tentacles. There's a soft purple glow just behind the creature and a inky, bleeding red background.

A black and white, armored lizard creature with a beak. It is rendered in messy brushwork.

A little bit of chaos...as a treat.

A static-y goat man, clad in plate armor and holding a large spiked club. He has a belt of skulls and a 8 pointed chaos star necklace. A chaos star stands on a post behind him with a distorted abstract background.

Wizard! Wednesday!

A necromancer wizard in a dark blue robe, bent forward, hands on his knees, throwing up a skeleton. A staff of power lies near his feet and his throwup is an eerie shade of green.

Bill@warbeard· Jan 25

A warhammer 40k space marine clad in bulky red armor. There's a black winged blood drop on his left shoulder and a winged skull on his chest plate. You can make out the last two letters of his name on his right shoulder "us." He gas a cybernetic implant replacing his left ear. He stand in front of a deep red and black background with the words "Angels Still" scratched onto it in white.

Bill@warbeard· Jan 23

Inspired by @lettuces.bsky.social super cool artstyle and 40k illo they shared the other day.

An old warhammer 40k soldier type guy. He has short grey hair and mustache to match. Wearing battered plate armor, holding a chainsaw order aloft with the word "faith" on the blade. He stands in an industrial area, surrounded by machinery.

Bill@warbeard· Jan 20

Just a skeleton, doin' stuff...

A skeleton in a full length dark Grey robe with a white and light grey sun on its back. The skeleton has a head dress of rusted iron bands and spikes. An aura of sickly green energy surrounds the figure who us gesturing vaguely.

The background has dark pillars with bright white gibberish letters on them.

A recent piece I had the pleasure of doing for Judd Karlman's Forgotten Cairns supplement.

A warrior on horseback, he us wearing Persian style chain mail armor with metal plates attached and a pointed helm with golden accents. There is a shield on his left arm depicting the face of a displacer beast and he holds a spear pointed downward in his right hand. The reddish-brown horse has a light touch of blue paint on its nose and is moving slowly through foggy, rock covered ground.

Bill@warbeard· Dec 11

Do it for him!

A tattooed weirdo (Faceless), in a tank top and gas mask walking up the stairs from a dingy basement with a rusty old axe on their shoulder.

Pretty pumped about this:

A photo of author Christopher Buehlman with images of the first two books of a trilogy in the foreground.
It announces the third book, titled "The Thrice-Bound Fool" will be released on October 13th, 2026.

Underrated, under read:

Messin' around with old images...

A skull headed woman dressed as a peasant sharpens a scythe in front of a room full of dead bodies. The image has a grainy texture laid over top of it.

Got to play a bit of Coriolis today at Gameholecon. It's a really cool game, cant wait to play more of it. Here's the weird space bird I sketched up for our crew:

A pencil drawing of a super frazzled looking space bird with extra eyes and giant talons. It is perched atop of a three eyed skull.

This was fantastic. A brilliant approach to alien ways of thinking and of existing.

The cover of a sci fi novel called "Shroud." It depicts a ship colored in neon yellow crashing down into a spiky black and white environment.

This old wizard knows how to party.

A medieval woodcut style drawing of an old wizard covered in his long hair and beard. He declines on a sitting bed, holding out a cup of wine. The shelves near him are full of jars and odd containers.

Goat Knight in B&W

A medieval woodcut style drawing of a knight wearing a goat skin and horns fighting a skeleton in a dark dungeon.
The knight carries a flail and shield. The skeleton has an arming sword and buckler.

Bill@warbeard· Aug 2

Something's in the air You're feeling uptight It's the right mood for a Goat Knight...

"You came to the wrong neighborhood, knave..."

An aggressive looking, scarred seagull wearing a tricorn hat and holding a cutlass.

Bill@warbeard· Jul 17

Finished this the other night. It's glorious and weird and dark and awesome. If you're into medieval weirdness/light horror, I highly recommend it.
