SKIP THIS IF YOU HAVENT PLAYED #signalis #spoilers @laststarfarer.bsky.social yo yuri does this shit have anything to do with your game that annihilated my soul? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariane_5 credit to my girlfriend @ethical-sailor.bsky.social for this - haven't seen it brought up before

a poorly done edit of the guy from its always sunny in the pepe silvia scene, leaning against blocks of wikipedia text and images that imply connections via red lines and circles between the james webb telescope launch, its launch date (december 21st) and its rocket the Ariane 5 to aspects of the game signalis, such as it's hex-shaped symbols in comparison to the telescope itself, or the name of the rocket and one of its characters

Guys I think they might be on to me... Here's a piece I did for the awesome @seanghikas.bsky.social and his friends' podcast @paranormalnut.bsky.social! This was challenging but super fun to work on. Thanks for commissioning me ^-^ #art #commission #halloween #paranormal #podcast #supernatural

Sean and Jim stand in a dark room. Sean is crouching and pointing a light into a shorter hallway, looking towards the viewer and illuminating the walls, while Jim is standing behind him and holding a REMpod.

A few recent stylized #lancerttrpg pilot comms. It's always fun and super rewarding to be given the trust to just shoot into a general direction with regards to stylization and land exactly where they hoped it would land. #art #commission

Lancer TTRPG pilot commissions by Gestaltzerfall. That is me.

Sometimes people might be curious "why dont you give concise information in these blurps, why is it always kind of vague?"
Well, the sad truth is that alt text is used by GenAI scrapers to "tag" images. My friend, nytetyde, actually had his entire collective artwork scrubbed and fed into a GenAI model that explicitly attempts to replicate his style. So this stuff definetly affects us little people as well.

quick mockup of my ssc swallowtail mech for a lancer one-shot. or maybe its more of a swallowhead. deal with it. #lancerRPG #OC #art #ttrpg

A very fucked up mech grabbing the barrel of a gun protruding from its open jaws. It has 5 hands, 2 grabbing the barrel of the gun and 3 used to walk/stabilize it.

A commission that a friend and player in my speculative-fiction Lancer game had done of his character Hagen "Gunnar" Tench, pilot of the EuroTECHNIKA (GMS) "Cortain". Thank you @gestaltzerfall.bsky.social for blowing this one out of the park!! gestaltzerfall.carrd.co #LancerRPG #OC #art #ttrpg

Tremendous thank you to the wonderful @ndasfw.bsky.social for this absolutely stunning rendition of #Xueyi_YANG and her raison d'être 😭🥰 She keeps the photograph on her at all times – it’s all she has left. #LancerRPG #OC #art

An old Polaroid photograph of Xueyi and Vin from back in their military academy days. Dressed in flight jumpsuits and standing before the cockpit of their training starfighter in an orbital hangar bay, this image was captured mere moments before the pair took the ship for an unscheduled “midnight” joyride; a stunt that very nearly had them expelled.

Quick sketch of Xueyi after the collective L.D.H. Battlegroup experienced what very well may have been the 1st or 2nd most traumatic experience in their collective lives. They stopped at a doughnut shop while their battleship was tugged to spacedock. Got some merch. #Xueyi_YANG #LancerRPG #OC #art

The image depicts a rough sketch of Xueyi standing in a Jojo-esque pose. She is wearing a black mask, a black bucket hat, a white crop-top tee that says “I heart doughnuts”, baggy black pants, and black skater shoes.

Having originally joined the L.D.H. Battlegroup with the end-goal of purchasing Vin’s cryopod from the Altruism Corpse Recovery Company, Xueyi instead finds herself confronted with the impossible: knowledge that the dead might be brought back to life. Enter: FIREFLY – Xueyi's mech frame of choice.

Depicted, is the "FIREFLY" a mech frame shaped like a giant glorified metal chicken with beetle wings and too many hand-canons. A thermal pistol and rail-powered anti-materiel rifle are mounted in its chest and head, respectively, and its MJOLNIR canon is split between its shoulders. Heat and fuel pour out in glowing streams from its boosters.

Hé Xueyi is an ace pilot known by the callsign: “YANG”. She earned her widespread reputation piloting the star-fighter, “Snowbird”, alongside her long-time academy sweetheart, gunner and co-pilot Vignette—aka. “Vin”; callsign: “YIN”. They were inseparable. Indomitable. That is, until they weren’t.

The image depicts a young woman in her late-20s, standing in a Jojo-esque pose, pointing a handgun just off-screen towards the viewer.

Her outfit consists of a sea-green crop-top blazer worn over a similarly-cropped halter-top/choker combo, above a translucent shirt fastened to her midriff by a pair of belts. A slit black dress/skirt hangs from her hips via the belt of her black pants, and knee-height heeled boots support her weight. A dual-sided red/dark sea-green mantle slung over her shoulder completes the outfit, and dark reflective amber shades rest atop her two-tone hair, which matches her blazer.

Her nails are painted black with a green-ish sheen, and her eyeshadow is tinted red. Piercing golden eyes look at the viewer.

Her pistol is emblazoned with the callsign "YANG" in gold, and a crude "B" is scratched in at the start of the word as a joke.

A sneak peek—à la back-cover-blurb—of my wonderful [gm//partner//muse]'s personal Lancer campaign in which I play a pilot named Xueyi. And as always, Woodkid's music is an inspired choice for accompaniment👏 #LancerRPG #TTRPG

THE FALL

A yin-yang in a sea of stars with juxtaposed silhouettes two figures, masculine and feminine, both falling; reaching out to each other from above and below. A line of white strikes through the symbol, connecting into and out of it, and it is also bathed in a yellow glow around the edges of its circumference.

The numbers 1-4 fall along the left of that line, terminating in a red X, and align with the following summary:

We travel to the Istvar system to follow the adventures and struggles of the Least Dysfunctional Hyades Battlegroup - a name, not an accomplishment - as they seek to uncover what destroyed the fourth planet nearly half a decade ago. Between the suspects of extrasolar corporate interests, the local solar feudal houses, and the remnants of past revolutions, answers are not readily forthcoming.

Coordinator Oko Akintola of HYADES - a galactic-scale mercenary company that provides mechanized soldiers who forge their own mythos to serve in proxy of armies that would otherwise risk entire planets - has narrowed down the candidates for this group until there are but six remaining.

Veterans of the war that lead up to Istvar IV's destruction, our protagonists bring with them the legacies and baggage of their lives, their outlooks, their hopes and dreams. Personalities clash, friendships are made, hope and loss entwine with one another as we witness the effects of their decisions and efforts upon the very face of the system - if not the galaxy itself.

Drawing inspiration from Camus' works as well as media such as The King In Yellow, Signalis, Kill Six Billion Demons, and the Culture series, the Fall integrates themes and mythos from Abrahamic, Greek, and Yoruba religions to evoke an odd familiarity, and does not pull back from interrogating what it means to have to choose. A ttrpg game run in the Lancer system developed by Tom Bloom, it is still currently ongoing.

It also asks at least one question:
How far are you willing to go for what you want?

A fun little concept/idea I had for another character of mine. Good ol’ isekai protagonist(?) in a game that’s testing out a text-rp system I made. Her name is Saoirse, a name I’ve loved since watching Song of the Sea 🦭 #OC #art #ttrpg

Hé Xueyi (荷雪衣) aka. YANG in the flesh. This is one of her more expressive outfits.

Xueyi's mech, FIREFLY. It used to be known as THE NIHILITY, but its pilot felt it deserved a new name. It just felt right.
