I don’t know which to work on next… a few ideas that Ive scribbled out over the last few months.

Sketchup model of a NAU aid truck stopped in the occupied area with an Ascarian convoy

Rough sketch of a pair of Daphur with a push cart overlooking the space tether and ruins of their previous civilization

An Ascarian historical piece of a tank overlooking the border wall hours before what would become known as the Unification War begins.

I already use sketchup to do stuff it’s not meant for, why stop there

#SST26 Day 25: Missiles A patrol ship launches two training missiles while in the Film to demonstrate how the strange FTL dimension drastically interferes with missile guidance. The pockets of wild exotic energies, some call 'magic', can cause additional hazards. #spaceshiptember #sst2026

I really need to draw more Ascarians, I love these goobers… I think the first two have the most boopable snoots

Work is rough and Im too tired to model so heres the thumb for #sst26 d24: blue/yellow which were the colors I once picked for the Ascarian gov run transport line. So this is one of their passenger liners, and with a blurb about them not having real civ ships as a method of control #spaceshiptember

Nika @hwpd.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

So that lore blurb isn’t totally accurate, the Ascarians do know about armor, but they haven’t had to utilize real tanks in over 300yrs, having mostly faced off against the much weaker Daphur or colonial dissents. By the end of the war, Ascarian units were starting to field armor of their own.

#SST26 Day 22 Winged/Huge Okay so its not really HUGE but compared to the dropship... this thing is designed to carry an entire self sufficient company of marines, and get them to the ground for combat as soon as possible. Reusability is a secondary consideration. #Spaceshiptember #SST2026

#sst26 21:ORGANIC -I have my briefing with High Command in an hour, and you're telling me we still don't know anything about this ship? -We can state with some confidence that whatever the armor is made from, it's still using a standard fusion engine and propellant.

A unknown, pale-green cruiser-sized vessel takes on fuel

#SST26 Day 8/17:Destroyer trying to get back into it and do some backlogs, and I didn't realize at the time that it was also todays lol. An NAU, US Destroyer, from the mid Human-Ascarian war era. One of the most common ships among the various human forces. #Spaceshiptember #SST2026

#SST26 Day 6: Curved/Carrier Ascarian Light Carriers, a common ship among their fleets, both before and after the Human-Ascarian war. This one belongs to the nation of Zelso, which took up control of their home system after the civil war dissolved the Areomin Empire. #spaceshiptember

Nika @hwpd.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

#SST26 Day 5: Drones Drone cargo carriers, for smaller hops between outposts, For the niche between a small maneuvering pod and a small manned vessel. These things typically hang out around freight stations or the freighter itself. #Spaceshiptember

SST26 Day 3: Winged/Red The Snakes are rather new to UD and the galaxy they still dont have a name, and this is the first time Ive actually drawn anything that belongs to them! Theyre lower tech than the Humans and Ascarians, and quite anxious about joining the wider universe #SST26 #Spaceshiptember

Stop. Stop. Stop. I am so sick and tired of this Myth that gets spread around everywhere. No. They do not have a “perpetual license to do whatever they want with whatever you post”. That EULA line lets them DISPLAY WHAT YOU POST TO OTHER PEOPLE ON THE WEBSITE. That’s all it fucking does.

Shark week? This is the closest thing to a shark that I have, the Ish. Space-shark-fish-aliens.

A later revision of the Ish, with a more slimmed suit.

This one was just a upgraded Beam Rifle variant. Longer battery, better venting, that's all. A lot of these were for a post-war setting that I never got a chance to write about. #Halo

Nika @hwpd.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

This was a 2015 remake of my first 'custom' halo gun (2012), and its honestly my least favorite at this point. This idea behind it was that if a carbine could accept the ammo cartridge from a carbine and a needle rifle, since they looked similar in game. #Halo

This is the T62 Heavy Needle Rifle It was developed by Cimut Artisan Armorer in 2562. It is semi-auto and fires half of a needle at a time. It was designed as a light anti-vehicle weapon and it does not track targets. However, it has also proved useful against heavy armored infantry. (2016) #halo

Developed by Shaftion for their High Mobility Autonomous Coordination System, their developers didnt scrub the internet snapshot they had access to well enough. There was some influence.. Hence the scalie avatar lol

I’ve started writing a bit of UD that’s not something I’ve written in the past at some point and it’s making me nervous, for so long I’ve been rewriting the same three chapters from high school, it’s unnerving to be on something new…. Even if it’s just a different pov of the same event.
