A tired, grumpy hobby writer/artist. Perpetually fed up with IRL. Enjoys expensive dairy products a bit too much. Gout sucks.
I am not here to look at politics, I am here to look at music, games, art, and other creative material.

So. First post with BSKY.
I came here hoping for an escape from the politics and getting force-fed niche topics that do not hold my interest.
I originally used Twitter because there was a long, long list of artists, developers, etc that I enjoyed seeing the work of.

Update to my UNSC robots, plus a Jackal-made 'knockoff' (outright stolen code, but includes shields and plasma weapons in an arguably more durable chassis) that is designed to appeal to Covenant markets.

Slowly poking away at my own take on Starcraft's Marines, based primarily on SC1/BW's iteration on their design- while also accounting for scale. Roughly speaking, I'm thinking they're only about a foot shorter than SC:G's version as depicted in concept art.

Finally figured out a logo for the WarCraft story I've been cooking. I'm pretty satisfied with this spin on a classic.

Some concepts for a Battletech/StarCraft crossover;
An armed Command Center that isn't as underwhelming as 2's Planetary Fortress
A Wraith derivative that benefits from a quartet of medium lasers, as well as a big-ass Heavy Gauss Rifle.

A Q-7 and Q-8 Astromech. The overall rough idea is exploring how this tiny little Kuat Systems Engineering design is somehow just as good as an R2; in this case, I think they're related to probe droids and just benefit from being an unfolding design. The Q-8 is a homebrew 'simplified' version.

Been poking away at my giant-ass Brute weapons file, with several new additions. Descriptions of most of the guns (except the stats) are in the alt text. Note the inclusion of two 'trophy' weapons to explore some lore implications from Halo 2.

An effort to trace the lineage of UNSC powered armor (and related designs). Please note that this is composited from headcanon and some images utilize closest-analogues to meet what I was trying to do.

I find it deeply annoying that I can't find any information on this prop. I have some theories about it, however, which will be put in the alt text.
@robear.bsky.social , I hope you have some input on this, since you're more immersed into data about the OT's production than I could ever hope to be.

As of now, I am opening emergency commissions to help my friend @ickystyx.com. Any money I make from this will go directly to their GoFundMe, linked in the replies.
If you can donate yourself or even just share it, I and my friends will greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

More discussion about Star Wars has reminded me of a Dreadnaught-class longer than 600 meters, which briefly served as the Rebellion's flagship- the New Hope, which only appeared in Dark Forces' novelization.

And it's done - I really like how this looks. Happy with the new cockpit, happy with the updates to the character and overall animation. Hope you like it!

For those unaware, I'm doing an exceptionally OCD thing and compiling an Order of Battle for the Galactic Republic for a thing I'm writing. Here's a useful two-part snapshot of the horror I've inflicted on myself and my cowriters. (there are 20 Armadas w/ 10 BGs to an Armada)

I think the Number (because using the hashtag causes problems) 2 Warpod deserves more love. It's basically the half-brother of the Toscan, but actually cool as fuck and could do with some modernization.
I mean, hell, it's only stats are from a modified variant used as a boarding craft by pirates.

Now for my mandatory grumbling moment:
New Canon (IE, post-2008 material) takes everything I love about star wars and sterilizes it. Ship designs? They take two or more company designs and hybridize them (which makes them rather Ugly) rather than invent new designs with appropriate design languages.

Fun terms for Star Wars nerds:
Gnatfighter: ships like the TIE Fighter or Vulture droid, unshielded craft making use of pure speed and numbers to achieve their objectives in combat.
