Each semester we do a timed exercise. Students receive incomplete concept art, and have 8 hours to take it as far as they can, with an eye for form. Keeping with Shaun's no AI Twitter scraping, I am posting the work over here. @machinefun.bsky.social @mooneysart.bsky.social

I've been absent. We got images of the multi-part Outriders. I had an entire extra set waiting for this reveal. Each model got converted. Sgt gets a power axe. Both riders get a different arm from the Assault Intercessors sprue. With the bike chaplain and go cart I'm looking good.
Trim placed for both melee versions. From here it's a damage pass and metal surfaces. I might leave a clean version for both in the set, for those that want to damage things on their own.
Melee good to go. The teeth may not hold up, I'll need to get a test print done. This needs a sculpting pass to finish it out.
Melee weapon time. In the OG kit this weapon had a unique shoulder design, depending on which side it was on. I look forward to the extra sculpting. Bout 50% there on the basics.
Missile launcher is ready for the bolt and trim pass. May go through and unify some details across all the weapons. The trim pass will be done entirely inside Zbrush.
Tube time. getting the final details in before sculpting. These all start life as splines, and using the modifier stack allows for interaction as changes populate up the stack. People bag on Max, which I get, but my experience has not been Terribad™ .
Twin Heavy Bolter WIP Design no one will likely use, but for completeness sake it must get done. Least views of this thing online, again looking for 20 year old pictures is a chore. The barrel size to ammo discrepancy is crazy bad, but that's how it was designed, I didn't come up with it.
Working on a new project. Heavy WIP here. Got my Cults3D account squared away.

Melee done. 3 Broods, 15 Warriors total. Now to get them primed. When I built my Primes I wanted them to be mini Tyrants. I added ankle claws to show the connection. Little conversions like these really make an army unique. #warhammer40000 #tyranids
Getting some work done on individual miniatures now. Built the squad last summer, painting them now. Not going to win any awards, but it's fun. Lots of custom printed parts here. #warhammer40k
#lazarus It's got pedigree but the limited number of episodes hurt its impact. It felt like they wrapped up with the intent we now have the teams backstory, let's tell the actual story. Like a really long setup for a show we don't have yet. Good music and fights. Needed more time.
6x4 under 2" scatter terrain. I made 6 of them, for some variety. One step closer to the 2025 Tournament Table. #warhammer40k #terrain
After waiting 30 years, we finally have plastic Noise Marines! This kit is great! I don't need an entire force, this squad finishes the squads aligned to the major #chaosgods Plague Marines Khorne Berserkers Rubric Marines #NoiseMarines
Do you like design, are you in love with cassette futurism? Support this man! I need this book.
Potential art-book/project thread! Please read below!! 👇👇 Can i first ask that you please retweet and comment your thoughts on this? I need as many eyes on this as possible to gauge if its a viable side project worth pursuing! RETROGRADE - A catalogue from from a future that never was!
I'm trying a more motion graphics approach to presentation shots. If the goal is attention does this work better than a still? #3d #GameArt #GameReady #Stylized
10 day count down. WarLayer: Titanic Terrain We just unlocked a whole new series of walls, so the part count just got nuts. If you play in the Grim Dark Future this set is a must have. Head over to Kickstarter, search for the above. I need more filament. #warlayer #3dprinting #terrain #gothic
Finally got the Brutalis built. Come at me bro! Talons have a better profile, but I can't let wrist mounted boltrifles go, to cool. Used Storm Shields on the shoulder armor, both sides. He still needs purity seals applied. Here he is with his brothers.
Company Heros (Repurposed) Built a companion Lt. to go with the squad. Waiting on eBay for the Ancient, he'll get here Monday. Then Veteran Eradicators, I use no helmet heads on my Gravis Vets. Hoping to prime this group Sunday.
AC Data Book, another added to the collection. The design language of this series has left an indelible mark on my mech preferences. I might finally stop looking for AC art books. Share your collection, I'd love to see what you've got. #armoredcore #fromsoft
60 degrees, in Michigan, in March! You bet I'm priming. End of the week, I'm plowing through my build backlog. The Emperor Protects. #wh40k #warhammer #ultramarines
If you wargame in the grimdark future, have a 3d printer, and are looking for awesome terrain check out this Kickstarter. Andrew is the GOAT with many successful campaigns behind him. I've printed his terrain, its no joke. www.kickstarter.com/projects/war... #warlayer #terrain #wargaming

What's cooler than a Helbrute? How about 3 of them. Pack complete. Each will have a god aligned squad to support. Meta busting, nope. Cool, yep.
#alphalegion Now for something completely different. Just banged out the Dark Apostle. He's got two subtle conversions. Head swap, cake. I like helmets on Heretics. Second cursed crozius head from the Apostle from the Dark Vengeance box set. I Am Alpharius!
#Phobos 1775pt's Vanguard Spearhead All but 10 scouts have the Phobos keyword. Still need to base and prime the new recruits, it's winter here so that will wait. I'm a narrative player, not a winning player. I love the idea of this force but have no delusions it will win.
