Wrapping up the 2025 with what I think is my favorite frame I've put together yet.
2025 was a year. 2026 will also be a year, and I'll just keep on keeping on with my lil' wasp waisted mecha~

Recipe for how to make a dreamy hammerhead shark guitarist:

✦🦈 Resilient sharks!
✦🌊 Many millions of years!
✦✨ And a little magic!

And voilà, we have our silly Roberto!

It took me a while, but I finally finished this artwork!
Illustration depicting the passage through the ages of hammerhead sharkfolk, presented as an evolutionary line. There is an ornament symbolizing a mysterious moonlit event of supernatural origin on a global scale. Moon phase symbols mark passage of time, and waves shift from rough to calm. The illustration begins with a storm and great wave engulf an unknown city, suggesting the end of the Anthropocene. The first image shows a wild hammerhead shark swimming freely in the open sea, illuminated by sunlight. In the second, the shark already has developed arms and pelvic fins that are beginning to adapt to form legs. It devours a fish caught with its bare hands. The third scene shows the shark with more evolved limbs, trying to crawl out of the water on a rocky beach. Some seaweed is attached to its dorsal fin. In the fourth scene, the shark is completely adapted to life on the surface. It uses plants as rudimentary clothing and builds a shelter of clay and shells under a mangrove tree. It is pouring nectar from a broken coconut into a small bowl. The fifth scene depicts a shark in a developed tribal society, wearing more elaborate clothing and carrying a wooden spear adorned with its own teeth. In the background are huts with conical roofs. The sixth image shows a shark in a similarly medieval era, wearing an elegant tunic and holding a crosier with a lunar symbol. He knees before an unknown human figure. Palaces with domes appear in the background. The seventh image represents an era similar to the Enlightenment or Industrial Age. The shark wears sophisticated clothing reminiscent of an engineer's and holds up an invention: a flask filled with glowing liquid that powers a light bulb. Elegant masonry houses with clay roofs appear in the background. In the eighth and final scene, a shark lives in a contemporary era, wearing modern clothes inspired by a teenage punk. He plays a moon-shaped guitar, while modern buildings and apartments form the background.

Blade of Seafoam short comic 1: Takuya Corporation #bladeofseafoam #ocsky
Page 1 of a grayscale sketch comic. Panel 1: Axellion holds up a plastic mech model in his hand. Dialogue: "Takuya Corporation..." Panel 2: Shot from above of Axellion holding up the plastic mech model. Dialogue: "Who would've thought that they would make Bhairava scale models?". Panel 3: Flashback to Axellion turning his head excitedly at a stack of model kit boxes. Dialogue: "When I saw one for sale at that floating market..." Panel 4: Flashback to Axellion holding up a model kit box of the XG-01 Bhairava excitedly. Dialogue: "I just knew I had to build one for you! (Heart symbol)" Page 2 of a grayscale sketch comic. Panel 1: Axellion lies flat on his stomach while winking and holding out the Bhairava mech model in his hand. In the foreground, the shadowy outline of Toshiaki's forearm is visible. Dialogue: "Isn't this little guy cute?" Panel 2: Close-up of Toshiaki's face. Dialogue: "...It has its appeal." Panel 3: Close-up of the Bhairava model in Axellion's hand. Dialogue: "But the thrusters don't actually move like that. And the weight balance is too back-loaded." Panel 4: Close-up of Axellion's face. He has his tongue stuck out playfully and he's leaning his face on his hand. Dialogue: "Dang, so they didn't get everything right?" Panel 5: Toshiaki leans to the side to get a better look at the Bhairava model. Dialogue: "It's accurate enough." Page 3 of a grayscale sketch comic. Panel 1: Toshiaki reaches out his hand to take the Bhairava model from Axellion. Dialogue: "Let me have a turn." Panel 2: Toshiaki fiddles with the Bhairava model in his hands. In the background, Axellion watches him with an impish smile on his face. Dialogue: "He's actually really cute when he's playing with plastic models like this... It's like he's finally getting to be a little kid again."

Finally some normal (French) shit.
#art #trenchcrusade
Illustrations/concept art of New Antioch equipment for Trench Crusade. The first picture is that of a French chasseur alpin mountain troop backpack, with spiked sole shoes and an ice pick and all that jazz. The second picture is that of a shortened French Gras rifle with the magazine and grenade launching barrel ports of a French MAS 1949/56. The third picture is a short Jager rifle with a martini-peabody falling block action, a large scope bearing the Lutheran rose, and a green painted stock bearing the arms of Freiburg, Basel and Mulhouse. Mulhouse is in France. The fourth picture is a pair of binoculars that look suspiciously French, along with their leather case. They are made of black painted bronze, with eyes etched onto its surface. The fifth and last picture is that of a -surprise- French APX 1916 scope for the Lebel rifle, also made of black painted bronze. This one has tally marks on it.

It's been a while since my last self-introduction, so...

I'm Artifacter, a TTRPG designer and GM from Taiwan. I also enjoy making mech art.
You'll mainly see mech art and TTRPG-related content here.       
To communicate with people around the world, I try to post in English.

Nice to meet you all!
A series of Npc tokens for the Lancer ttrpg, made in the style of the Aunic Ascendency faction of the Lancer universe. Common features include a predominantly white and gold color scheme, curved armor contours, and a white halo floating behind. Tokens drawn for my In Golden Flame game, featuring all enemy mechs encountered in Chapter 1's battles. The cover of the Apocalypse Syndrome supplement Arcadia in the Shell, showing a girl wearing a crown-like ornament, with a massive tower in the distance behind her. Apocalypse Syndrome is a modern-day, superpowered action TTRPG inspired by Monster Hunter.

“In the woods where snow is thick, bars of sunlight lay like pale fire.”

(Catherine Mansfield)

#wintersky
A decorative, graphic winter scene in deep blue and muted gold tones. A huge tree dominates the image, its trunk and sweeping branches rendered in bold black silhouettes that curl and twist like calligraphy. Fine, delicate twigs fill the canopy with dense, lace-like patterns, dotted with tiny golden, star-shaped needles. Beneath the tree, stylised snowbanks rise in flowing curves, casting long blue shadows across a smooth, pale ground. The overall mood is serene and magical, blending nature and ornament in Eyvind Earle’s distinctive mid-century fairy-tale style.

New post for pinned. Hey, I'm Raspberry and I make art for my ttrpg games.
Splash image of a pilot and her mech- a Deaths Head from Lancer, a sniper/artillery frame. Its modeled after a gun turret, with a large railgun to one side, two little arms, and spider legs. On the gun is the phrase "I demand a better future" and a symbol, in yellow-gold. There's similar graffiti scratched on the mechs hull. The pilot is in a matching blue uniform with brown hair and light skin, making a peace sign at the camera. She's sitting in a futuristic wheelchair standin with matching spider legs to the mechs. There are stickers on the armrest. Text reads: Elsie Scwartz and Morning Chorus. Union Department of Justice and Human Rights. Two mecha standing together, labelled Love and Legacy. There's a wrecked frame on the ground, and petal effects swooping the scene aswell as blue and red lighting on either side. The Love frame is white and modelled after a large dress shape and holds a mace. The Legacy frame is black and top-heavy with jets. It holds a sword. To the left is the symbol of the House of Stone from Lancer. birds eye view of the Karrakin Cavalry College from Lancer Shadow of the Wolf. It's a large building & estate, but all very sci-fi. There are labels indicating areas of importance: the greenhouses, student quarters, the great hall, the gardens, the lykeon, the ballroom, the dueling fields, stables and manufacture, administration and staff quarters. Two mecha fighting in space- one of them has cut the other with a sword, and the light from the explosion is lighting the scene. The victor is the same as one of the mechs in the second image.

Made my own bagtag things earlier this year, did everything myself. Lazercutting, decal, plastic protective sheet, UV resin to seal in; I've had one on my bag since and it's still mint. P proud.

Big spaceship. For my Lancer game.
birds eye view of a big spaceship, labelled the DoJ/HR Annapurna. It's sleek and futuristicly styled, and has labels for different areas; the bridge, upper decks, lower decks, the hangers, quarters and catapults.

Mako-ron shark 🦈 #art
An illustration of two light blue mako sharks, stylised in pastel, with their dorsal fins made to look like macarons, the French pastry. There are many pastel macarons around these sharks, in many soft colours such as pink, soft yellow and blue, and more. The sharks are swimming in a circle around each other, playing with the macarons and enjoying playing with them by stacking them on their snouts. What a delicately sweet scene!

Though he has made himself Prince and indeed lord of E’Fumbrion there lies council on either side of him. Those who have lost their names upon the path of the warrior and through their distain towards the bloody handed god earned title instead. Thus do we name them Autarch.
