I need to get out of my shell more, so I figure throwing artsy shit at random passers by is a good start. Fair warning, there might be porn here occasionally, but I usually get distracted by the character design process when I try to do lewds lol, then it just turns into an outfit showcase. Questions, comments, feedback, critique, all welcome!

I mostly draw Star Wars OCs and bits of my three retrofuturistic worldbuilding projects, all of which could be said to revolve around hot goth girls/enbies. Right now I am deep into pixel art because it's easier with my limited mental energy, but I would like to branch out again in both style and medium if I am ever able to.

I also do graphic design and technical sketches, but I've only put a little bit of that stuff in the portal because it's mostly concept art/reference material for my own use, it isn't what I would call presentable lol. I'll put some here though.

Here's my latest thing, I'm back on my WWII hyperfixation this month and had to get some ideas out of my head.

Blood and Fire

And some dieselpunk fantasy gun sketches, I like to make pixel guns/vehicles in my spare time because they have a low mental load while still being a good way to practice fine details. Guns more so, vehicles are actually quite difficult to make pretty.

Some Star Wars stuff I am taking a break from, an unfinished background and a rough character sketch.

The Hailfire, Verovad Industrial Sector, Cademimu V

Juura Kalat, 3rd Special Attack Squadron, Confederacy of Independent Systems Navy

Thought this sketch was cute and worth sharing in its current state since I don't know how different they will look when I am done.

i reckon that's some kinda gee tar

My wife always wants me to draw redheads but I just can't resist the allure of head protection, in this case it still adds a nice splash of colour though. The rifle is quite a bit too small (you want a comfortable length of pull? less than 40 cm? fuck you) but I don't want to cover up even more of their body lol.

Have you thought about making a pixel video game especially from the Blood and Fire art piece? Cause that piece look like something that could be like a mix between Kingdom: Classic and Escape from Tarkov survival game.

Neat pixel art

I vaguely imagine it sometimes but it's far beyond what I am capable of right now. Even simple games are a lot of sprite work and I can barely get one drawing done a month most of the time, plus animations in particular have always eluded me because I am not sure where to start or how to cheat so that I don't need to hand draw 20 frames lol.

And then the programming... well, every programmer I have ever met has practically begged me to release them from their eternal nightmare, so I don't think trying to learn that would be good on my already precarious health.

Today's works in progress are gynoids, really I should be practicing plate armour and dieselpunk shit but robot ass is a better motivating factor to keep working. I have no idea how long I can maintain this level of productivity but I hope it's forever, I don't feel hypomanic which is at least a weak sign that my current success isn't something entirely out of my control lol.

They said I have a drone fetish, they clearly don't understand that sexual overmatch is required to achieve full spectrum dominance in the next-generation networked battlespace.

This one is more of a placeholder while I figure out the character design, I mostly want to share the gun.

It is finally dieselpunk time. Background work is pain though, especially when I don't know exactly what I want because my initial plan only went as far as a big butt and cool patches lol. Currently experimenting with ultralight aircraft designs because I need to practice vehicles anyway.

aphrodite bird aphrodite bird (digitally simulated bird inside of the strategic logistics mainframe, what will it do)

It seems like my motivation holds up best when I work on whatever impulsive clothing design and softcore fetish pornography ideas seem fun in the moment rather than trying to save my energy for things I think would be useful (e.g. practicing my weak areas or visualizing my worldbuilding). This does unfortunately mean that I am not working on my current goals of being better at plate armour/robots and using more dynamic/action-y posing, but at least I am working in general.

I like doodling little typefaces sometimes. This is an old fraktur-esque set, I thought I'd use it for labeling vehicle concepts but a lot of the vehicles were smaller than their own names on the canvas lol.

And the latest of the aforementioned concepts. Haven't been doing these too much lately but I need to get back into it soon, as I want to properly draw some vehicles in full perspective and shit (vehicles are one of my weaker areas so I need practice) and that's way easier with some sort of prior reference.

Of course, the reason why I don't do those concepts much is because vehicle design is quite frankly hard as shit. I always want to achieve a good balance between a cool and distinct silhouette, an ergonomically functional design that characters can actually use, and a bit of fantasy/sci-fi flair to separate it from our world, and that's a lot to juggle. The worst are civilian cars, funnily enough - no wonder automotive designers get paid a lot lol.

Early draft of a bouncer. I wanted to show off the tie and suspenders but with that level of protection (not originally planned) I can't condone going without a breastplate and helmet lol, so I'll either have to reduce the armour (unlikely) or draw another well-armed civilian with a tie and suspenders until I finally overcome my feminine urge to plate up.

Also finished up these two. Thinking about practicing backgrounds in isolation (so, just grounds I guess?) because backgrounds are usually misery for me, I usually rush them and then they don't turn out how I want.

arms on fire or something (idk i don't speak cursive, i have no idea if D even connects that way)

Had a silly idea for my booby space witch in the style of Cordelia, so here's a rough draft. I drew their head a bit too small but that's an easy fix, my main holdup is deciding on a final outfit which will both fit their cult leader vibe and properly frame their ion cannons.

Awful week all around, still doodling shit though when I can.

I may have overestimated the difficulty of game sprite work considering how quick this for-fun mockup was, admittedly it's still just a bunch of random ideas on a canvas and not even what I'd consider a rough draft yet. But 8 directions per frame wouldn't be that bad.

Bet you're glad I got this ol' sidearm on me, aren't you?

Rimworld and gastrointestinal distress have consumed my week but I am back.

Pro artist tip, draw an icosahedron every so often as a memento mori. The pain will keep you humble. (Important notice: Advice given in this post has not been evaluated or approved by the Food and Drug Administration.)

I have reworked this tank every few months for like two years because I can't settle on an actually good design lol, sci-fi stylings (mainly the articulated quad treads) really seem to clash with modern MBT design. But I think I finally landed on a good look, it just needs more refinement (i.e. more dots, cyber dots will fix her). Maybe one day I'll actually be satisfied enough with a vehicle design to do a full drawing...

this is a certified truncated icosahedron moment

Nanomachine [singular], son. It [singular] hardens in response to physical trauma.

Please let me never see a three-dimensional figure again in my life after this. If I ever meet a cubist we're throwing hands, and gods forbid I meet a dodecahedrist because only one of us will be leaving that (hopefully two-dimensional) room alive.

damn this bitch is playing cards, cut her head off immediately (i live under the tyranny of the tokugawa shogunate)

I want to fill out the whole set of face cards, 20 or 22 in this deck depending on whether I do the two specials as faces, but I don't know how horny to make them or what style I should use or even what to put in a good chunk of them. I do like this look as a test run but it probably won't end up in the final deck as I don't love the composition and it doesn't even have this suit's namesake chalice lol.

At least I made the letters properly illegible as is my sacred way (it's deeply symbolic of my inner psyche in that it represents how I don't speak German).

Here's a Jedi helmet from last week, another project fallen victim to my mangled attention span and/or playing way too much Rimworld and/or getting back into roleplaying which draws from the same creative pool. Not to worry though, I am probably over the whole Rimworld: Odyssey thing now and I will inevitably loop back around to finishing this in another six weeks when those dumbfuck synapses of mine forget how to forget.

Designing a gun to work on the moon is a nice challenge, and by "nice challenge" I mean it's the Dark Souls of firearms design, someone please free me from this hellish prison that I have voluntarily chosen to not leave. The wombo combo of not having air to cool the barrel or chamber and also constantly kicking up tiny electrically charged asbestos razor blades which are actively attracted towards all surfaces really makes for that perfect nightmare we all love, and I decided that I didn't want to actually solve any of those problems so here's a shotgun painted white.

Tune in next time to watch me paint an AKM white too.

you know, what, fuck you

gothicizes your aurebesh

Original outfit concept vs nearly finalized character drawing. Thinking thistle be a good one once it blooms, you could take this as proof that I don't branch out enough but tbh as long as I still enjoy salad dressing I will probably never turn a new leaf. (ok i'll stop now)

Not feeling well enough to finish the whole image right now but here's some armour inspired by the aesthetic of the old Jedi vs Sith comics. The final version will have cloth bits to enhance the silhouette and add more colour but I am still experimenting to find a good look that won't get pinched and shredded to death by all the armour joints lol.

Probably much more plate to come now that I have brought myself back into practice a bit.

Been feeling like shit these past two months, trying to get back in the swing of things now. I wanted to work on the current Sexytember prompt this morning but eating made me too sick to be horny lol, so here's a normal WIP instead.

And one of my many bits of unfinished ass from previous weeks, since butts have become my go-to warmup lately. I like the pose but I think this is one of those times where I have to go back and properly design the armour before I draw it in a scene, because I have no idea how to spice things up design-wise.

You know you've unlocked advanced procrastination when you make real progress on entirely new projects instead of finishing the original one you were supposed to be working on this week lol.

Here's a rough plane sketch, I want to draw a plane scene and I need a reference so that's this. No idea if I will actually get to the full scene but I like the plane.

The evolution of megacorporation branding.

Nike redesign in progress, trying to make my strategic AIs look a bit more sci-fi/fantasy and a bit less generic greek (as seen further above). I wanted to have the Strategic Air Command thunderbolts in there but I also wanted to keep the globe, haven't decided how I will reconcile those yet, maybe lightning instead of a branch in the eagle's claws would work if it wasn't so small.

And some old Soviet WIP vehicles I never posted, I really need to work on their design language but it's always so hard to focus on the things I want to focus on lol. After all this time, I still don't have a good look in mind for their infantry kit.

Had a rough month, but I think I am ready to be badass and sexy again.

Sorry babe, the tiger stripe stays on during assault.

Unit patch. Nothing is private.

Beret flash.

A few days ago I was worried I wouldn't finish anything this month, then I got through two drawings in a row like lightning (at least by my executively disordered standards lol). Conclusion: I should worry more often and be as anxious as possible at all times, and also complain a bunch whenever the opportunity arises.

Bonus galaxy's largest holostatue of a tea bottle, decided to drop it from the second image pretty early on because I felt it wasn't as fun as the holotree (what did Bioware mean by this?) nor did it put out the same Las Vegas energy as the stripper.

Initial character sketch, going to redraw her for the final image (if I can decide what I want the final image to even be lol) but she is already very cute.

We do a little bit of very serious worldbuilding.

Not making good artistic progress today, as is usually the case I am crippled by indecision regarding posing lol. Here's a WIP boat though, the privateers of the 2070s aren't fucking around.

And a gun.

It's still a shitty month, hoping to get back into a rhythm soon though.

The drone fetish continues.

I've been playing around with graphics and typefaces to decorate my worldbuilding reference illustrations. For this one I wanted something that feels like the decorative floral patterns around old book covers and title pages but with a more sci-fi twist, as befits a renaissance galaxy. This specific pattern was actually just meant as a draft while I sought out something more ornate but I liked it too much so it became the main idea lol, I'm calling it an event horizon motif.

Also note the title font. I wanted a serifed engraving that felt sci-fi for the same reasons, mixing old and new to capture the setting's aesthetic, and that's way harder than it sounds because those roman-style serifs automatically have a very antique feel to them. But actually the hardest part was not accidentally copying Dune lmao. Here's some previous iterations, you can see what I mean about Dunc.

I forgot to show off this style set a few months ago. Same idea but more conventional, it's a very small arabesque pattern with blackletter type riffing off of old illuminated manuscripts. Although in this case kinda for the opposite reason, using intentionally archaic styling on top of modern tech (machine guns not present in this preview lol) to add an appropriate level of high fantasy flair to a dieselpunk world.

Decided to revisit an older project of mine, designing the GUI for a fictional OS. Last time it was a retrofuturistic system in the 2070s, I wasn't as good at graphical stuff back then so it died when I tried to design an example webpage lol. This one is meant to be from the late 1980s because I thought the low resolution would be fun for pixel art, originally I was doing monochrome but adding colour support (an entire 16 of them, still adjusting the exact palette) made it way more vibrant and interesting.

New artistic reference for a collaborative combatant, more or less done but I want to improve some of the details/colours and maybe add a bit more lore.

I couldn't sleep so I started a fictionalized self portrait, it was going to be more sci-fi but I couldn't decide what to do exactly. Women will literally experience the weakness of their flesh one time and immediately decide they'd rather be a malevolent artificial intelligence inhabiting the empty frame of a human being.

Some powder-operated tools I have been doodling to explore an aesthetic for a future roleplay setting. We might end up going in a different direction by the time we start writing but it was nice to do something less retrofuturistic for once, I like this modern industrial sci-fi look.

And some actual guns to match, I like the rectangularity of the SMG.

This is ancient, early 2024, but I feel like sharing because it's cute and I remember being proud of the colours. Say hello, tortured lamprey in a jar who we're milking for the valuable drugs you produce when you suffocate.

If I can't sleep my life away, I will just have to keep sketching. I would never wear a skirt but nothing else looks right with this design.

Wanted to draw Xen after my last playthrough of Black Mesa. I haven't actually decided what I am going for composition-wise so this is kinda just a vibe sketch, I like how it looks though.

Hoping to have something special for pixel day so I am trying to get back to work before it comes up. I still have some annoying shit to do over the next few days and my sleep has been awful but hopefully I can decompress once the new year starts.

Bitches be like "as above, so below" as if they didn't just watch the dark sun emerge beneath the skin of the Work. Wanted to put some of these cool tendril things in a background but they don't really fit in, I may yet find a way though.

I forgot I was working on the retro computer thing, here's an initial mockup. I am not sure what I want it to look like yet, I like the aesthetic of this asymmetric style but it feels a little dated for a mid/late 80s computer. I have a whole magazine ad partly set up to go with it but, as is my usual way, I haven't decided on its composition and posing lol.
