If you model, spending a day cutting up your old personal stuff when you're not feeling making new art pays off down the road and is very therapeutic.

Probably 4-6 hours active work. But remember I kitbash heavily (from a mix of my own old stuff and other sources) and get to reuse all my old texture work etc.

If you screen recorded my process I'd be sent to jail. My workflow is unbelievably stinky 😭

Also, TKG let me get away with murder in terms of putting hard SF stuff into the SBT. I'm doing my part to soften people up for weirder spaceships in fiction!

Also, in a good-natured way, it is cool to see how people unfamiliar with orion drives and medusae rationalize that stuff.

There is a wonderful shitpost floating around the MoSh discord making up insane labels for stuff on the ships. I see them as radomes but the great thing about doing designs for something like a TTRPG is your art is out of your hands once it goes in the book! So I try not to be too precious 😂

Yeah, though I don't sweat the details; warmup art is mostly free of technical questions.

Yeah -- while my views on how the spacecraft in the Mothership 𝘚𝘩𝘪𝘱𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘳'𝘴 𝘛𝘰𝘰𝘭𝘬𝘪𝘵 book aren't canon beyond my table, the ship was designed as an MMO Medusa and has a bit of math behind it WRT shielding, capacitor mass, etc.

'Morlock' is a non-diegetic name for the clade that makes up the Hall of Philosopher Kings.

As an initial matter, they are a project (one of many) of a long-dead civilization to escape an endless cycle of agrarian misery by creating woke orcs.

Is the tree also a person here?

It's remarkable to see how far you've come as an artist in such a short time. Great work as always!
