There are multiple Vastorship designs (something between Air and Spaceship). And I can't decide which design I want to use for my OC crew. These are just concepts but all of them are semi funktional. - #ship #concept #scifi #spaceship #steampunk #3D #3dart

Just a lil Mutl. Mutl are (mostly) tiny creatur that build MASSIV structures, a bit like Termites but WAY bigger. They literally build the equivalent of Woods, coz there are no Trees in Arcpunk. How i'll show in another Post. Dunno when tho :D #worldbuilding #art #creatureart #drawing #comicart

Idk how to build an audience for my #worldbuilding here on bsky bc i'm slow af as an artist. What’s the hook? Random niche lore drops from a huge universe won’t cut it. But I hate limiting myself! I want to present a super deep world, sure... but also just random characters. This is so tough DAMMIT!

Just spent like over 8 hours sorting through my drawings and worldbuilding folders. Found so many unfinished projects... but part of me is still lowkey scared to post a doodle or sketch every day. And I don’t even know why. It sucks so bad... #art #artist #struggle

Twan Serric is riding a Bakomi, or at least he's trying to. Bakomis, or in this case, a young rock Bakomi, are both scavengers and predators. Serric should watch his step, because prey of his size is definitely on the Bakomi menu. - #art #worldbuilding #comic #steampunk #adventure #artist

Took a little while. But now that I can draw without pain, I'm tackling some larger projects again :D Here we see Eik Piona (the origin chunk of the Dulay) as well as an adventurer of the Aloo species. - More info in the alt text. #art #illustration #cartoon #artwork #artist #worldbuilding #comic
What’s shown is a scene depicting the outskirts of 'Southern' Eik Piona. Eik Piona is a chunk (land) which is the homeland of the Dulay. However, the picture features a female adventurer of the Aloo species. Additionally, on the left, we can see several Tzru'paki. These are (a bit mushroom shaped) creatures that function as trees in many of Arcpunk's biospheres. Although these creatures can technically walk, they do so incredibly slowly, making it seem to the islands' inhabitants as if they never move at all. These creatures don't manage more than a few meters a week, and usually significantly less. The 'caps' or 'canopies' of the Tzru'paki vary drastically from species to species, but they always feature a spongy or lattice-like internal structure. This structure is often accessible through openings in the caps (on the underside for many species) and thus serves as a sanctuary for other creatures, much like tree crowns in our world.

What stands out alongside several other Lumina (a plant-like generation of the three-generation cycle that every species in Arcpunk undergoes) are the 'flying' islands visible in the sky. These 'islands' are chunks. One of these visible chunks (the large one) is P'kun, the homeworld of the Aloo, and even further away, you can just barely make out As'voira. These chunks are separated by a weightless, but not airless space called the Vastor.

What is very difficult to spot is the Mamtototam Baz, one of many currents or winds that blow through the Vastor. For a long time, it separated Eik Piona from P'kun because Vastor ships back then weren't built well enough to withstand the current of the Baz (which basically means very strong wind).

2/2 It should be noted that in Arcpunk, there is no electronics - every ship is operated purely through mechanics and a GravCore. Because of this, it’s virtually impossible for a Vastor ship to be operated by a single person.
000
Arcpunk @arcpunk.com · 10/05/2026
1/2 Modern Vastor ships in Arcpunk have changed significantly. Many are built vertically to fit better within the gravity column they generate. There are also more streamlined models, though those are quite rare. #drawing #art #worldbuilding #characterart #doodle #pen

Tribal masks played a central role among the Dulay tribes, and they still exist today - even among the descendants of Dulay slaves all over Hypnagogia and Oneiros. Here are some variants. #drawing #art #worldbuilding #characterart #doodle #pen
Several Dulay tribal masks cast from Keke (a type of bioplastic). They look more like wood because the structure usually features vertical grooves. Some of the masks consist of several plates or bands, forming faces that appear quite abstract. For instance, one mask has only one 'eye,' while another has three. Some masks seem to have 'teeth,' whereas others feature a 'mouth opening'.

Yeah, but that’s not even the end of it, right. I mean building Shipshaper (which is insane) and making it compatible with Bullwark is crazy xD Doing all that without a many-person studio is just wild imho. Plus, one can rly tell that u’ve put ur heart and soul into this! Big props man :D

The Akutao are a folk of the Aloo species. They descend from Baz Akuenara, a tropical chunk with dense jungle. Their lineage split from that of the P'kun centuries ago, when travelers were shipwrecked on Baz Akuenara and became stranded there. #drawing #art #worldbuilding #characterart #doodle #pen

2day, another piece of analog art. This time, I thought I'd draw a few Sûme in clothing. Sûme don't necessarily wear clothes, but especially in colder regions, they need wraps to keep warm, since their home chunk, their "mothership", is very hot. - #classic #pens #copic #worldbuilding #comic #art

I've found my ~3 year old "sketchbook". And tbh i like that old analog artstyle with white outlines. So i bought some pens and started drawing some classic art pieces again. And yeah it was a lot of fun tbh :D - #classic #pens #copic #worldbuilding #comic #art

(3/3) ...the Aloo in particular began creating wigs or attaching beards, mostly made from the aforementioned sponge material or Keke threads. With the colonization wave of the P'kun (an Aloo nation), this spread across all Chunks (Lands).

Arcpunk @arcpunk.com · 28/04/2026
(2/3) But how did these hairstyles come to be? Originally, they were created to emulate old images of the highest legendary beings, including Gotikodohaleto, Uluru, Hihotoho, and Trolro. "Fine threads" grew on the heads and faces of these beings. To simulate this... ->

Arcpunk @arcpunk.com · 28/04/2026
(1/3) In the Arcpunk universe, hair does not exist. Fabrics are made from Keke threads (a type of bioplastic). Nevertheless, there are "hairstyles", as seen here. Instead of fur, some animals possess a kind of foam tissue, which is used to create hairstyles. #characterart #comic #drawing #art

Today no worldbuilding... just an older piece of an attacking Aloo :D #characterart #comic #drawing #art
An Aloo (short humanoid alien with somekind of amphibic traits) with a fancy hat and leather clothing. In one hand he's holding a Dagger, in the other something that seems like a Molotov-Granade-thingy. Sun is right behind him while he's midair jumping towards the POV. Everything in a stylized comic artstyle.

3/3 And with the new functionality of the drive, I can even reuse the concepts for ships that were actually discarded. Even though they certainly won't become a standard. Maybe i'll make a video of how the drive and all truly work :D
000
Arcpunk @arcpunk.com · 24/04/2026
2/3 The good thing now is that I can use all the old designs without having to pay too much attention to how they function. The gravity-rotor ships are the "rowing boats" of Arcpunk. Hopelessly outdated, but still in use in a few regions.

Arcpunk @arcpunk.com · 24/04/2026
1/3 For the past few days/weeks, I've been heavily working on how "ships" function in Arcpunk. Not the seafaring ones, but those that "fly" through the Vastor from chunk(Land) to chunk. The 1. pic is the Final concept. #worldbuilding #flight #spaceships #Scifi

One of the three. I mean the other 2 are brilliant and very likable (^0^)
000
Arcpunk @arcpunk.com · 21/04/2026
I truly like the other two chars a lot tho. And especially in this scene, one can kind of see the essence of Wrathion. This way he forces himself into situations because he thinks he's the man :D
000
Arcpunk @arcpunk.com · 21/04/2026
The thing is, I'm not rly. Its about the Contrast. I’m just pointing out how good the picture is. Because EVEN THOUGH Wrathion is in it, who has zero self-awareness, is completely arrogant, and is chronically rude, I still rly dig the image.
100
Arcpunk @arcpunk.com · 20/04/2026
Still felt it was worth sharing. Plus, I rly dig the picture, just awesome. And comments help push the algorithm right :D Don’t get me wrong, this wasn't a critique of the artwork, it's absolutely fire 💚🔥

Arcpunk @arcpunk.com · 20/04/2026
Tbh, Wrathion is BY FAR the most unlikable character in WoW for me. Like, he takes first, second, and third place. Then there are five empty spots, and then eventually comes, I don't know, Xavius or someone... Faerin, on the other hand, I find super nice and would love to see more of her.

Arcpunk @arcpunk.com · 09/04/2026
I would rly love to start making a comic. But oh boii... it's rly not that easy. And I'm very unsure if the quality I'm pouring into it is even enough. But that would be a bit of a dream, tbh. We'll see... #comic #art #drawing #illustration #artist #webcomic

Ya das ist halt bs. Also du wärst safe ausreichend qualifiziert. Was ich eher sagen würde ist, dass Gaming zwar grad sehr groß ist, GameDev aber immer häufiger die Arschkarte ziehen. Große Firmen kicken wikrlich MASSENHAFT Leute, die dann neue Jobs suchen. Glaub der Markt war selten so umkämpft :/

In case u're wondering why I haven't posted any (new) artworks lately... weeell, right after I bought a new PC, I accidentally trashed my drawing board. Since the PC wasn't exactly cheap, I'm stuck without one for now. And since I also need a new monitor, this whole thing might take a while :<
