Im not sure what the point was exactly, its not a bad idea but underutilised in a game that is already piled up with extra mechanics

Discussing the difference between the star trek captains that have the worst time of it lead to two key take aways; Bad things happen to Picard Bad things happen around Janeway

More mechs should have lances. It feels like a really natural weapon for them because in a lot of ways mechs fill the idea of cavalry.

I finally got an image of a trademooner in my head that I decided would be good to draw.

Also anyone who likes and shares this is also helping me out. With money being tight for more and more people, increasing the reach of projects so they can find the few still able to afford things is a fantastic thing to do for things you find interesting.

Did you know I made a game? Did you know its £4 on Wargame Vault? Did you know buying it helps support an independent human(oid) game dev (me)? Did you know its got GIANT ROBOTS in it? www.wargamevault.com/en/product/5...

Im really tempted to go next year, just have to get over the anxiety that what I make isn’t good enough to show off in public.

Wait. Is my drawing about a hero who completed all his quests and rests motionless REALLY actually about my father who is my hero? Who is paralysed and who has completed all his quests and is ready for his final rest? Did I accidentally do a deeper meaning? Nahhhh it's just about a toy!

Thundremoar is how I found out about your work, specifically Thew’s build video. Kinda fun how stuff ends up.

Did I enjoy destiny 1 and 2? Yes Did I have problems with it? Yes Was I sad when it ended? Yes Do I want to go near it after everything Bungie and Sony have done? …no… that trust is gone and the thing I enjoyed with it.

Well the Kuramura printed well enough and now I have a couple of variations of the chassis.

Oops, the Kuramura ended up being a little short for my liking, so I guess time to try again after enbiggening it

Is that a jenner? Despite my love of mechs, I struggle with identifying battlemechs

Thanks! It felt right to try and evoke a kind of beetle-y look, and give justification for the core granting the airborne trait.

Eccentric Normality @eccentricnormality.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
I got extremely distracted and designed a brand new chassis for Iron Dragoons, the Kuramura. I wanted to go heavier on the anime end of the mech aesthetics, and I think it broadly succeeds.

I really need to be better at talking about my games and other projects. Its hard to feel like Im allowed to, but in this current era, real human made stuff matters, even if its bad, even if its awkward. So I should be less scared, and try harder to be heard.

Miniatures! You can collect them, build them, paint them, game with them, and even make them kiss! Cover of the photo zine I hope to have available for Comic World Seoul.
The Polar Bear Comix Book of Miniatures. The cover shows a cup with two brushes- one pointy, one worn down to a stub; a red dragon; a bottle of Vallejo Game Color Jade Green; a Mantis Warriors space marine; a miniature of Warduke from the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon; an old Necromunda gang leader; and a purple unseen Thunderbolt from Battletech (or Ironfoot from Dougram, or Gartan from Robotech Defenders). There's also an Eldar psyker primed but unpainted stuck to the top of an old enamel paint bottle.

Sometimes I think my art is too stylised for my game books, sometimes I think its not stylised enough. Art is hard, but always rewarding

You’re just going to accidentally start some kind of open-source gorkamorka thing with all of this. Im excited to see where it goes, frankly

There is no winning in comics. Watercolor and gouache on watercolor paper. #comics
"Cartooning will destroy you. It will break your heart"- Charles M. Schulz, quoted by my self-portrait penguin who is lying on top of Snoopy's doghouse.

Comics is a tough job, with long hours, little pay, and often abusive conditions. Osamu Tezuka's last words were "I'm begging you, let me work".

Even those who "make it" often end up broke, broken, or both. So why bother at all? This panel shows two Kirbyesque beings fighting.

I've got it pretty sweet. I'm not famous, but I draw what I want, when I want, and I get paid to do it! Not much, but still... This panel depicts my penguin self-portrait pulling a fish bone out of a trash can while wearing a Heathcliff hat.

"Success" or "Failure" ain't nothing but what you think they are. Just gotta do it for the love of the game. This panel depicts my penguin self-portrait getting beaned with a brick, a la Krazy Kat.

I got around to printing my new Exo-trooper designs in resin. I went with more dynamic poses to really sell the idea of these lads barreling through enemy armour.

I don’t even have tactical squads, I just think its worth taking the piss out of a company taking away rules for what is likely the single most popular and widely owned miniature kit of all time

Reasons to play Iron Dragoons; I wont stop you being able to play the most popular kit in the entire game to sell you a less interesting replacement!

I decided to create some new melee focused exo-troopers, because I felt like another close-combat unit that was made to tangle with other infantry might be fun

Ive tested the new version of the Apex in resin. Everything works really well, needs a little fiddling with tolerances but thats just how design goes sometimes

Toothless is thriving. #HTTYD
A top down view of dragon toothless sitting on a rock formation hight up above the fluffy clouds. It’s a warm golden hour. Toothless is dropping a fish on the floorbed and black birds approach him. It seems he is bringing them food.

Every time I use bluesky I think “I should use this more” and then I don’t. I am a perfect example of how not to advertise or network.

I got a new backdrop put together to take neat photos of my minis, certainly helps so far. Not sure if I should do a drybrush on it to make it look more interesting or if keeping it black helps sell it as just a background

I decided to test print my latest minis on my FDM machine to see if it could handle 10mm scale infantry, and amazingly it can, look at these little guys! You can get the files here, they’re just a quid www.wargamevault.com/en/product/5...
