You need to try Ship Shaper demo, man. Super fun to mess around and it lets you export the 3D model and even use it for printing, no copyright. Gotta love indie devs. . . . (on the left, my design, on the right, what the demo lets you make)

This is exciting! I got nominated as best pencilier at Ringo awards this year. I'm blown away, totally shocked and stoked at the same time. To be listed next to some of my favourite artists is such an honour.

Tryna give FF's "generic" assets a common design language suggesting even the combat vehicles aren't made for proper warfare (soft edges, exposed fragile-looking greebles). Figure they're all from the same manufacturer, either some alt-history spin on an existing defense company or just made up.

"Griz Grobus and the tale of Azkon's Heart" by @simonroy.bsky.social Jess Pollard & Sergey Nazarov was an interesting change of tune after "Habitat" & "A star called the Sun". Two intertwined stories, of which only one is set in the reality of the "Habitat"-universe. I liked it, would recommended.

Cover of "Griz Grobus": Depicting at its center three puzzled looking humana standing in front of a large robot. On the lower side is a set of seven medaillons, showing the faces of several other characters, at their center a goose.A page from "Griz Grobus": People in a snowy settlement watch, as a robot prepares food from some roots. One of them is served a plate of the resulting souplike substance with a sceptical expression.A page from "Griz Grobus": Some kind of spiritlike apparation speeds through a medieval looking tent camp and finally resides inside a goose. Much to the shock of a cook who was about to slaughter it.

From page one "A star called The Sun" by @simonroy.bsky.social with Sergei Nazarov and Drew Shields just bursts with creativity and enthusiasm for the universe it shows us glimpses into. I already read "Habitat" multiple times ... And will now have to re-read it again I guess. Absolutly recommended!
