Nose then wings then shadings

I keep getting distracted by the TV around the corner

I should have picked a VF-1, all these little lines across the fuselage and wings are going to be a pain

"Posted 3 weeks ago" Good think I crossed out 'soon'

I really should make a big basic info post first, but I haven’t yet and will soon eventually, but I’m open to asks about my characters and setting or anything really. It might help with worldbuilding.

Big Bad Setting Starter

Both factions have FTL, energy shielding, large scale directed energy weapons and control several star systems, but the majority of their infantry is void of shielding and uses kinetic weapons, most frequently a common bullet loading rifle.

The Cazanans have the largest usage of energy weapons in their standard issue Blaster Rifle, a low yield 'snub' rifle with a high fire rate and accuracy. Many of the kinetic rifles out damage it however. Infantry shielding is used almost exclusively by specialist troops and those of a high rank such as field commanders.

The Dronoks field fewer but more powerful DEWs, such as a high power cannon wielded by the Hulk units. Hulks are a special type of infantry that could be classified as a vehicle. It is a very heavy set of power armor equipped with a shield down the left arm, a dual heavy plasma blaster on the right arm and dual retractable melee blades under the left arm shield and a small reactor on their back. Their armor makes them extremely resistant to small arms fire and their cannon is powerful enough for them to singlehandedly destroy light and some medium vehicles.

Cazanan starships equip a large array of energy weapons. Their primary capital ship, the M160, is wedge shaped with overlapping lines of fire meaning that if they line a ship up in front of them, all of their heavy cannons can strike it at once. The M160 has hangars on either side as well as a vehicle bay, allowing it to carry LRVs and tanks to a planet and deploy them via dropship to the surface alongside infantry. The T177 is a frigate housing a very large flight deck, primarily fighters and bombers with a few transports for the few marines it may house. The T177 also carries two particle cannons, the most powerful single weapon in the Cazanan fleet. The cannons are retractable on the underside of the ship, used for damage dealing against large ships and ground bombardment. Other Cazanan ships are not currently made.

Dronok starships use a lot of Magnetic Acceleration Cannons and railguns with a few directed energy weapons. Their P13 Battleship is a long, sleek ship that has four forward facing heavy MACs which put a hurt on shields and rend hulls apart. It has one large hangar bay which goes through the width of the ship. There are many smaller cannons and railguns down the sides of the ship. The predecessor to the P13, the P8, is essentially a huge MAC with a ship built around it. The P8's main cannon is a larger caliber than the P13's quad cannons despite the ship being half the size. The P8 lacks any sort of flight deck, but houses a large array of weapons and heavy armor capable of taking a massive amount of damage without shields.

There are also the Fronzoks (Fox people), who live in much smaller communities but control almost all the systems surrounding the Cazanan-Dronok war. They as a whole avoid the conflict, intervening only when they or their interests are threatened.

The Cazanan and Dronok's view of the galaxy is extremely narrow minded. They only acknowledge each other and the Fronzoks and only think of their immediate region of space. There are explorers who do venture off into the uncharted, frequently stopping by Fronzok worlds for supplies or advice before venturing into the unknown.

And that's on Easy Modo

I’M CRYING WITH THIS FANMADE GAME.

I made this while waiting between classes last week. Forgot to get it off my flash drive.

Kinda shows me that my monitor isn't that great because the grays on the clouds seem a lot fainter than when I was making it. Or the lens flare screwed with them

Classic romance scenes improved with a Chipotle burrito

Robo Walker Mech Suits

I started thinking of how I could reimplement mechs into my setting. Currently I'm thinking they would break down into two types, 'Walkers' and 'Mobile Suits'. Walkers would be semi-squishy nukers, more like the 2142 mechs, 2-3 stories high and generally pretty manuverable, but can be killed by tanks rather easily, destroyable with infantry. The 'Mobile Suits' would be much larger and durable, designed more for prolonged engagements and soaking up damage, able to easily kill vehicles but have a harder time targeting infantry and have little to no air defenses making aircraft their hardest counter. Neither would be super common as the common dropships can't carry even a walker meaning it will need a larger or dedicated transport and would then likely only be fielded by the Army.

The alternative I thought before that is that the suits are rather rare, perhaps only one of each variant, very expensive and hard to produce but very powerful and hard to kill, making almost like a Hero unit for vehicle types. Best ways to deal with them would be to field your own or write off the battlefield and nuke it or bombard it from orbit until the target is gone.

An unnamed character I drew for one of my classes

I kinda rushed, doing it the morning before class and I was very tired

The Ride never ends

"15 layers" I use 15 just for the sketch, what about the other 85?

I never got to level 170 artist, I just drew angry Doras, I needed like minus 2 layers for that so I wouldn’t know.

What could go wrong?

The stormtrooper started dancing at someone when the scout started to pose, blocking the shot and then that happened when afterward. Also found a Sorceress cossplay for graphiteknight but unfortunately there was no Fighter, instead there was Pokemon Red.

Nice to finally have the wrist band off

I almost had three Deadpoolae at once but I was behind them and they left before I could circle around

Some photos from Planet Comicon 2014. A couple of people from last year and my sister taking pictures with people and some stuff I got

The UN Spacy emblem has some misthreading asgfjhkjllk;

Got a 9.2

Trying to figure out which ring was which segment was annoying at times

If you’re interested in color theory, or you like beautifully-designed little games, or you just feel like being bad at something today (OH MY GOD SLOW DOWN TOO MANY COLORS), try this.

Squird5: You should draw a guy

Queef of Pain: you should

And then this happened, things spiraled out of control and it's all vanillycake's fault

IF YOUR ART GETS STOLEN

https://www.tumblr.com/dmca Go there, and do as the instructions say. When my art was stolen, I got the post reported, and it was taken down. Don’t worry, it doesn’t just take down the sources post, but it takes down all the reblogged posts too. Please give this a reblog, many artists out there may not know this is here. And remember, ask permission before sharing, or don’t post it.

Cut out the holster as I couldn't think of any way for it to hold a wide array of weapons and still be quick and easy to use. Probably gonna go with magnets instead.

Drew up the armor and basic gear for the Cazanan Marines

Updated chest rig for flexibility, mostly bending over and sitting. I'm not sure if the carrier rig would work without the shoulder straps, being only a belt, without slipping down. The leg rig had an alternate strap that went around the opposite hip, but also not sure how that would work with movement. holster wraps two straps around the weapon to hold it, allowing it to hold a larger array of weapons than just the few a molded holster could, including SMGs. Backpack has several quick access pouches and pockets as well as a double zipper that opens it up completely, allowing full access to all main compartment contents.

Gonna ink and color later

I made a 'How 2 maek Humis' for the Lemonman and decided I might as well post this on Tumblr as well. I'm not going to say it's the best way to make Hummus ever, but it's pretty good.

Most important part is taste testing to make sure you didn't add too much or too little of something. If you're not sure how much to add it's better to go low and add more later than add too much and screw it up.

The best and worst game at the same time

It has really neat characters, interesting lore, really fun gameplay and is ~90% balanced

But the community is so awful it feels impossible to have fun

>get tired of playing bots

>play with people

>dude just takes my farm

>split push prophet never pushes and just spends the whole game ricing, meeting the quota.

>turn off listening to people’s mic function since every game I’ve played has no english speaking people

I’m starting to think people in bots are better than people in actual games.

One of Graph's drawings from last year that I started to color up and never really finished.

The background of the first image is traced from a photo of Sapphire Beach in Saint Thomas, USVI. The weather was really humid that day and it was apparent in the photo, so I used colors from a nice day over at Megan's Bay because nobody likes gray beach photos do they? The islands in the back were barely visible in the original picture. I'm not even sure why Lass would be at Sapphire with that board other than maybe paddling around and looking at fish, Frenchman's Reef has much better waves and even those don't get very big. As for fish and coral, Secret Harbor (Apparently now named Paradise Harbor because mass tourist influx) used to have lots of coral and fish, but tourists, being the dipshits they are, killed a lot of it off.

The flat colors are done, but I intended to add shading and clean up the water, but that never happened and I haven't touched the files in months. The shading should also be less purple and more blue. It'd look a lot better on the clouds that way and the rest of the image too I'm sure. Gray shading just doesn't look that good.

I drew the Braton from Warframe with Magazines because I wanted to

Then extra variants for fun

The Marksman is actually a melee weapon

I feel I should be using this more often, but I don't really know what exactly to post on it outside art and such.

Never start over critiquing everything your art or even your hobbies. The moment you do, you lose the enjoyment you had of those things and it is very hard to get that enjoyment back.

sometimes your 13-year old self teach you things. good things.
