Last year I spent a silly amount of time playing the game Rogue Trader by Owlcat games. After my first run I wanted to make my own character, a mad zealot priest. So meet Uriel Von Valancius, Archdeacon, the kind that flames first and preaches later Hope you like it!
I'm alive Have been gone for a while, have my reasons, not least of which is all the fucked up stuff going on, work and mental health shit. But anyway, here is some 40k art, started as a gift for@pablodelavigne.bsky.social, but I realized it fit the occasion of Valentine's too well! Cheers!

Earlier this year I had yet again the pleasure to work on a Key art for @Timberborn's new update! I love the game and I encourage anyone to try it out if you like chill games and cute beavers. This update added Ziplines and lotsa other cool stuff as you can see! Hope you like it!
I guess I should keep posting regularly, Drew this guys a few years ago, two approaches to Spell-swording! Hope you like them C:
New video is finally OUT! It took a while, due to life and work getting in the way, but it's finally done. I definitely learnt some things I should NOT do with this one. I hope you like it, and if you need a refresher on the LORE or are new please check the other videos in the channel! Cheers!

It's not enough building a Vine Mech. One needs highly trained pilots able wield its power. The main way to learn how to do so is by using a highly faithful scaled reproduction, which develops the finesse and kinesthetics required for the real thing. Hope you like it! Video soon, link in profile
The next video on the channel will deal with the creation of Vine Mechs and the training of their pilots. Stay tuned! and if you'd like to check out the project, here is the link Hope you like it, cheers! www.youtube.com/@Tree.lancer
The Vinmeka, as they improved in form and function, quickly became the dominant force of war upon their introduction to the battlefields of the period. Not that it ever stopped feudal lords from trying to tip the balance in their favor by mass of men alone. Will be posting more stuff about VoW!
Something armored this way comes! I've been a bit elusive the last few months, been very busy. Among one of the things keeping me busy was working on the next video for "The Vines of War" my low fantasy worldbuilding project. Expect a video by next week!

Cancelled project from years back, a bit more heavy metal than my usual, tried to really push the anatomy into badass weird places with these characters. Art director was Ryan Metclaf, who was fantastic to work with.
Hey guys, I am Thomas, a 2D artist inspired by dark/ grim fantasy, folklore and literature. Follow along to see more characters and creatures, cheers! #trout #digitalart #art #artshare #bskyart #oc #commission

Uff! blast from the past. This one was done for a fb art group. The challenge that month was to paint yourself with your own personal dragon. Being a huge fan of HTTYD, I had to give it a go. This even got me a spot in Imagine FX! Back when I used to be young and carefree, time flies!
This year I got to know some absolutely amazing trans people irl for the first time as I became more politically active in protests and organizing. Not only are trans people among the most marginalized in society, they are also some of the most aware, and brave people you can meet. RIP
Xerea 💙☕ VTuber@xerea.bsky.social · 2y agoToday is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Remember those who have been killed, injured, abused, tortured for being who they are. Remember those who have taken their own lives because they could not live in a world where they could not be themselves. Remember them. And make the world remember them.
Late to the party ✨let me present yall my current sea obsession 🧜🏻♀️
Coatl Dragonborn AD Thomas W Babbey Done for Draco Studios, 2021
"Delightful Discovery" Something a bit more recent and a bit more cheerful than my usual stuff! I prefer to call it, BEHOLD: CRAB This one was fun, got to paint a cool trio from the different schools of #strixhaven and specially a shirtless Dwarf Done for #MTG all rights belong to WoTC etc. etc.
"Cuāuhocēlōtl" What began as a bit of alt history concept art from me "What if Aztecs had been left alone enough to reach develop plate armor" These would later form the basis for one of the main factions of my personal project, Hecaxe. Hope you like 'em! #conceptart #althistory #worldbuilding
THIS. I’ll add what I’ve said from the beginning — “good enough” is the true enemy. I’m not just saying it’s the enemy for today’s working creators. It’s the enemy for human civilization and progress. It’s up to us. Fight like everything depends on it. Every day. NO compromises. NO to AI. ✊🏽♾️
Chuck Wendig@chuckwendig.bsky.social · 2y agoWe must must must resist the idea that generative AI is inevitable. It is not inevitable. People don't really like it. It doesn't do its job well. It removes the humanity from one of the most human-forward things. Not to mention it is an environmental nightmare. Keep banging the drum. Say no to AI.
