robot girl that manages the algae farm 2
found some time to touch up her design a bit since some parts kept bothering me, the old arm config was cool but looked off
re: a twitter post speculating "space opera faction with the common stahlhelm+red goggles natzee-coded aesthetic, but they're actually a fairly reasonable center-leftist democracy"
Would take a lot of work to clarify, no, their mission statements actually *aren't* euphemisms for atrocities.

new ship, new banner! spent all day on this, really proud of how it turned out :)
This is a Karræ warship, with a gas core nuclear thermal rocket and some pretty dusty plasma radiators.

Mortar carrier in action. I mean yeah, it sure does carry that mortar...
(Ammo types like smoke would be nice but mortar ranging is bound to scroll wheel, which also swaps weapons, and I dunno any way of fixing that aside from asking players to go into their bindings and change it)
freight pushing in titan, or freight dropping, i guess
i need to get around to improving my environment art stuff, been doing too much flat graphics renders
finally getting around to doing a ship design for the jovians, might still change it up a bit though and im still figuring out a naming scheme for them, currently it's just military theorists cause technocrats, but meh
on the 2026 africa vs 1939 europe bit, imagine what all the foreign forces in africa that were also transported would do, like you have us base personnel, russian mercs, un pkf, french expeditionary and chinese contractors also running around in 1939
several dozen different sideplots also occuring, you have some modern french unit commander with napoleonic aspirations plotting to blitz france, wagner mercs doing whatever the fuck for money or forming a merc state, chinese contractors being billionares monopolizing modern oil
its a #portfolioday apparently, they should make it an international holiday where artists take a day off and will be forced to finish one project they have on wip to add to their portfolio
i do mil scifi design stuff mostly, also robot girls
playing with some more biotech esque forms and shapes for the fancier and teched robot frames, the more futury, the more organic thats just how it should b
robot that pushes the freight, she can take heavy loads
also we need to bring back soviet teal it's so cool and functional yet we are stuck with grey and orange for industrial type colors for some reason
the partially automated, kinda luxurious, pretty gay, not really space communism yet faction
felt like i should intro some of the factions for the setting since their ideas are a bit more solidified in my head now
i was thinking of doing some short comics like very early in the year though they never got anywhere(and likely never will) past some concept covers so here they are

30: HOMAGE @jpv-art.bsky.social
Are you out there, little Watcher? Helium and hydrogen sweating silent in the Void, clutching nuclear lances or hardened Drop Troops. Ceaseless eyes, always watching.
The prompts for the year!
I wanted to keep it low-surprise, with some new ideas, and I'm excited to see how you interpret them.

27: GUNS
The Cerberus-class is armed with six macron cannons capable of firing microscopic carbon nanotube whiskers at around 20,000 km/s. The bottleneck so far has been reliably producing ammunition of the proper dimensions.
SOLCOM. Butanding-Class, or "Whale Shark". Armed with over a hundred Casaba-Howitzer missiles, each on its own mini Orion drive, in case humanity ever needs to erase an alien fleet.
Shiptember's ending, so this is my last Orion for a long while. Hope y'all enjoyed the show.

29:LASER
On paper, the Switchblade drone seems under-armed: 2MW laser with a 1.5 meter mirror is only dangerous to large ships at close range, but swarm-linking allows multiple drones to focus on the same target simultaneously.
wumpus in the torment nexus, he will suffer a thousand, a million, a billion moments of torture in what he perceives to be eternity, as his mind unravels it reverts it, so he can experience the terrors with a fresh mind, insanity nor death will be an escape for him
#SST26 Day 25: Missiles
While the diligent work of the SEC on cleaning out the orbits of Saturn's moons has managed to clear out most of these loitering missile systems, the SEC continues to advise against hiking trips in groups more than 4 on Enceladus
TRIDENT 1 performing cold gas maneuvers in Mars orbit.
A quick drawing for the amazing @zanzaverse.bsky.social I did a few months ago and somehow never posted.
The early utilitarian robotic designs for posthuman mind upload frames was a large driver for the current aesthetic trend, even as perfected humanized frames have come out, many still enjoy the less human and more robotic frames for their posthuman look
quick little robot design, trying to figure out how to add more cloth design elements to my robots since that's been an agenda ive been wanting to push since forever, i realized quickly i fucking hate modeling clothing but its so cool
