The spectacularly produced new art book, Mesozoic Art II, hit the shelves! I happen to be one of the artists featured in the line-up of fantastic people who bring the dead back to life! A great opportunity to talk about my creative journey 🧵

Good evening, Eastern Eight Zone. Now I'm trying to design the head of the Welsh Red Dragon in my style. But I only referred to the image on the flag and was just having some fun. The research was not very thorough.

"That window riiight there. Yeah. Shoot that guy." HORUS Spectre, for the Iphigenia at Midnight narrative module. An avatar of revolution, built from captured SecComm armor and absolute unwavering conviction.

A weathered green-and-grey mech kneels with a large rifle, pointing at an off-screen target. Two infantrymen stand beside it: one readies a shoulder-fired rocket while the other covers his ears and waits for the blast.

Aight gonna spam more of these lil Yi Qi guys, some silly phone pics for now. See thread below for more! The woodland pics were taken at Dinocon, found this really cool little footpath that led from the uni through a park, towards downtown (Also I think these can be called #paleoart yeah?)

Shoutout to certain dinocon ppl for getting me to appreciate (and perhaps become mildly obsessed with) sauropods. Like, what the hell. What cool, weirdass giant critters they were! "Extreme engineering" on another level for real

I do hope people realize that Bsky is aggressively public by design tho, and therefore is not "safe from AI" even if you "hide" your account. Open protocol is the entire point, but it means that it's easier to scrape than the login-walled social media sites. Just something to keep in mind..!

Really neat to see lots of artists have moved over here! Probs not quite as active as the initial influx, but I tend to always be late to the party anyway these days. Still have to find everyone I used to follow elsewhere, but I sure don't plan to use twitter anymore. Not a huge fan of IG either

#PortfolioDay? At this hour? Alright alright, I'll bite - I've been pretty dang quiet on social media these days after all. Hi, concept artist here, who has gone from designing IRL vehicle stuff, to sketching/modeling many guns and things for viddy game, and now...animal sculpting? Sure! Why not.

The daemonic forges have been lit.... Super stoked to be collaborating with @oroborian for Monsterpalooza this year! We have been cooking... Stay tuned for more updates, just a little teaser for now!

I'm technically still on a sort of "social media hiatus," but I better toss some of my works up here so it's clear who this is, hah Seems like a bunch artists have been moving to this site tho, so I hope this ends up being a decently chill place to post work...!
