Hey, #PortfolioDay, I'm Si Sweetman. I'm an illustrator and character designer, I vacillate aesthetically between sci-fi, dark fantasy and funky little guys. I'm looking for work, as usual.

Inquiries go to: si.f.swe@gmail.com
An illustration of the dawn over a wintery halfling town, its twee architecture dwarfed by a massive temple of Samothes. In the midground a crowd gathers around a windswept execution platform. In the foreground Fero Feritas walks away, with regret, from the encaged Gnoll, Mother Glory, awaiting her execution. Did you try to save her? A kneeling armoured figure cups their hands together to catch blood poured from the wrist of a witch standing above them. Blood is spattered over their face and armour. The witch wears a massive headgear from which an umbilical of bloody tubes attach her to an abstract blob of blood, fraying into hexagonal strands and baby faces. Three little reptilian guys careen through the air with urban detritus. A car, a bin, a power line to which one clings desperately. Behind them in the clouds a colossal serpent whips through the sky, it's fleshy triangular mouth opens, eyelessly, towards them. A Sleeper from Citizen Sleeper hunched in a fetal position in zero g, clutches an open terrarium growing plants and mushrooms. Their tools float around them in in the air, along with droplets of water spilling from their irrigation tank. The sleeper is clad in overalls and a mylar cloak to keep their electronic components dry.

Finally getting to Eastward and in spite of having some beautiful pixel art, I think the most I can say about it is that it is a video game. Kind of a nothing experience in a genre loaded with better games.

The protagonist of The Wailing is truly a wet rag of a human being. Infinite ability to just stand around.

It's a terrible feeling to be woken up by rainwater with my children. My tent is tattered and uninhabitable. Please, friends, help me. I beg you, don't ignore me. My children are shivering from the cold. 😭😭😭😭

Some of the most fun I had doing #FriendsAtTheTable postcards for #Palisade came from coming up with this medieval calendar with @notquitereal.bsky.social, where The Paint Shop did a historical/cultural back-fill on the Fabreal Duchy as part of The Adagio. Loved revisiting The Saints, too.
An illustration in the style of a medieval calendar, depicting an early version of The Divine Calendar from Friends at the Table's Divine Cycle. It features a big knight-like mech leading a strange parade, carrying a banner with the editor (fictional)'s name on it. The calendar is bordered with constellations, and above it are depictions of different rites on the calendar. A banner reads: Old Tales of The Dukes. Above that are depictions of fictional proverbs, also illustrated like medieval paintings.

One of the nicest thing about posting the Palisade postcard art has been finding out that people have the whole series framed. Really makes my day every time I see that in a message or in someone's tags when they reblog it etc.

Also if that is you, please send me a picture of it!

Coming back with yet another #Palisade Post Card for #FriendsAtTheTable. My 3rd card of 6 was centered on The Figure in Concrete & The Broken Spoke, framed as one of many Alise Breka novels. The pulp novel framing, here, was designed by @badbucket.bsky.social, and was used on multiple cards.
The Figure in Concrete stands on a rocky outcrop. Russian Sage grows out of the rock and out of the Figure's body. The rock and the figure's belly are pierced by great rusted chains. The figure is breaking of the of the chains, sparks flying. Behind them stands a mech carrying an upright glaive. Their shield is massive. It's shadows are purple. In the pastel sky is shattering glass, The Witch in glass smiles on the left side of the glaive, the Devil's Two Front Teeth on the right. Chimera's Lantern is lit. The previous image is inset into a weathered pulp novel cover template. The title reads "Phyrric Shale" and it is by Alise Breka. A quote below reads "Tears falling on stone." It is home printed my RadiantAngel, the label reads.

Hey, a couple close friends are going through a really rough time right now and on top of it all Toast broke her leg and has to get surgery for it Friday. if you're able to help a trans lesbian couple afford groceries and rent while recovering/lining up work pls chip in what u can
more details below
post from twitter user @vengefulbutch, text reads "I hate to do a crowdfunding post, but I just broke my leg and my partner and I both lost our jobs (I lost mine in September). If anyone can help me eat or pay rent (got some interviews lined up) I'd really appreciate it." there are two attached images one of the X-ray showing the broken bone in the foot and the second of Toast giving a thumbs up to the camera while in a hospital gown and a mask. Another post from twitter user @vengefulbutch, text reads "like, it's been difficult being a trans butch looking for woro and having a broken leg means it'll be harder for me to get anything soon. You could prolly e-transfer me at toast@ghostyear.space. I also have PayPal but I'd have to figure that out"

This was the only protagonist-based one I did for the Palisade post card run, but it was one of my favourites to work on. I built a custom brush for painting Russian Sage just for this. Next time I'll be back with more Villain faction stuff and a huge stylistic departure, so keep an eye out.

Mark Carney’s Liberals were not elected on a mandate to gut Canada Post, but they’re doing it anyway.

The minister intervened to begin the process, now management has now submitted a restructuring plan *in the middle of collective bargaining* that it refuses to share with Canadians.

“Fungal Infection” - my first “mutation” of the base dragon! I’ll probably come back to this and render it out some more, but I’m excited to get started on another prompt!

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.

They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.
AI generated content disclosure via Arc Raider's Steam page: The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this: During the development process, we may use procedural- and AI-based tools to assist with content creation. In all such cases, the final product reflects the creativity and expression of our own development team.

I'm back with this week's #Palisade #friendsatthetable post card, this time looking at the propaganda book-on-tape we built for the Frontier Syndicate, Exenchester March, City City and The Alter, intended to ape a sort of Randian art-deco aesthetic of self-aggrandizing, evil entrepreneurs.
On a beige background that imitates a mountain valley is a strange construction of futuristic nonsense buildings. On one reads the words "City City. Atop buildings stand 2 toyetic mechs of the same model. Behind the city is a profile of that same mech from the chest up. Behind the city on the left is a figure in a techwear suit with a head like a motorola razor and a halo of gold. Below on the right reads the title of this fictional audio book "Endeavor: Or, A Man For Himself, A Man For Us All.

I just watched a little subway maintenance train go through the station and I was instantly sad I didn't have time to photograph it. Cute weird vehicle. An Ian McQue airship turned train.
