Art-focused account preferring hard sci-fi and low fantasy. Posting lots of my commissions, and a couple of things I make

Chase was a hunter. Got captured and a Ravnos embraced him for a reason he still doesn’t understand. His compulsion is continuing to “do his job” despite it all. He works as a courier for the various vampire courts in Canada and uses their intel to pick his targets. #vtmback2eden #OCart

A character page showing outfits and a tattoo design.  Pictured is a transmasc butch lesbian. He’s white, 5’8, with short auburn hair and brown eyes. He has a beauty mark under his eye, a scar on his chin, and a dangle chain earring. 

Text notes on his outfit reads: Likes baggy clothes to make himself look bigger. Takes good care of himself but isn’t overly concerned about style. He loves pins/stickers/etc. Puts them on a lot of stuff he owns.

The first outfit is a layered longsleeve and shortsleeve shirt with brown military pants. He has a raven necklace around his neck. The second outfit is a pair of ripped jeans, an oversized gray hoodie and black hunting vest.

The third outfit hides his eyes with a baseball cap. A brown jacket with fleece lining is over top a black shirt. He’s in military pants and sneakers. He has a crossbody bag over his chest with Zelda, Pokemon and Pride pins. One reads ‘Mr. Dyke 2 you!’

Text notes he’s almost always forcing a fake smile.There is a tattoo on the back of his neck written in celestial and evocative of traditional Buddhist tattoos. It is a hunter prayer for bravery and protection. Its translation reads “SPIRIT OF WRATH, COURAGE AND LIGHT, FEAR NOT THE DARK”.  Chase (real name Ken) was raised with a hodgepodge of spiritual influences in the Long Night compact where he was raised.

The "dusk chorus" - as evening falls on Mangala, its binary companion's infrastructure belt of orbiting power stations catches the sun, brightening to become a ring of stars circling the little Mars analog. (mocked up in Celestia)

"Sometimes I forget just how far talented modders can take older games in VR until something like the X-Wing Alliance (1999) Upgrade project comes along and jolts that memory back into focus. That’s exactly what happened when I got the mod up and running with my Quest 3 and Yaw 3 motion simulator."

Playing a 26-year-old game like Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance in full VR with motion shows the power of mods. Details here: www.uploadvr.com/star-wars-x-...
