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

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

#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 Day 11: Dropship Deleted the post from last night, cleaned it up and added more detail. Happier with it now :3 #Spaceshiptember #SST2026

#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

Nika @hwpd.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

#SST26 Day 7: Conversion/Mining got a late start today so i had to scramble lol. Just a light cargo hauler converted to act as a 'surface' module for mining jobs. #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

Nika @hwpd.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

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

SST26 Day 2: Freighter (Couldn't figure a mix of Freighter and Racing together xP) #SST26 #spaceshiptember

SST26 Day 1: Fighter/Launch. A Daphur Fighter, from back in their expansion period launching from one of their Baltho-Kia frigates. Spaceshiptember is here, and there are two different lists, I'll be bouncing between/combining them where I can LOL #SST26 #spaceshiptember

Just a couple Ascarian Marines taking a break. Been wanting to do smaller more ‘personal’ sketches and stuff of my aliens c:

Nika @hwpd.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

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

The initial designs of the Ish, anthro shark aliens in water suits.

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

Nika @hwpd.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

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

010

Nika @hwpd.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

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

Goddamn… I’m 32 now. Fuck

Nika @hwpd.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

I was making a mural for the new Minecraft town and I put a lot of effort into trying to get a salmon up river until i finished and realized that it didnt look like it will fit... so i replaced my fish with the in-game fish instead and now it feels like a shitpost

Nika @hwpd.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

Its Torri! My cool AI character as their virtual avatar instead of their robot form. 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

digital drawing of a red anthro dragon, in a digital blue void since they're an AI.

Sometimes he glows a little when showing off

Nika @hwpd.bsky.social · 18/06/2026

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

173

Nika @hwpd.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

Okay I reworked this one… felt like it was off until I realized her head needed to be wider and her horns were miss-aligned Happier with this now c: (Probably will find more to fix later haha)

Nika @hwpd.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

The older Lwik pic for reference

Blue dragonborn-like character in leather armor.

Nika @hwpd.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

I posted him earlier but I deleted it because I wanted to give him a background, so I can say I actually finished something this year LOL. Lwik the Cartographer, my sort of dnd-ish character Ive had for a while. Now in a time period he isn't used to.

Blue dragonborn-like character in a leather coat and holding s shotgun. 1910s ish

Nika @hwpd.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

I havent Drawn this dude in like four years.

020

Nika @hwpd.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

I was just reminded I had something similar for the Ascarians several years ago.

Nika @hwpd.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

Another possible picture layout, now I gotta just find the drive to sit down and actually draw it lol. 🫠

A sketchup screenshot of various military dropships from UD laid out haphazardly.

Nika @hwpd.bsky.social · 13/05/2026

Another thing built, well rebuilt. This is a human dropship from UD. In the next post is a comparison of the old and new versions.

Nika @hwpd.bsky.social · 17/04/2026

What Ive been working on instead of Minecraft. Working on some stuff for the AstroComms facility in the arctic for UD.

Nika @hwpd.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

These are screenshots from the Mine, I carried a couple active orestone vents from the Molten Veins Mod down there and built a bunch of machines to harvest it, its all ready to go, just waiting for a processing building to be built near town.

020

Nika @hwpd.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

well, taking a break from Minecraft for a bit. Have a bunch of screenshots from the town Orca Bay. (still building later) Lots of little factory buildings.

Minecraft Screenshot, this is the brick and gravel factory, tucked away on one of the river forks, it also makes small quantities of andesite and iron.

A Minecraft screenshot of the paint factory, based on The Paint Factory in Gloucester, Massachusetts.

The Orca Bay Coffee building was the third building in town, but it still sits empty, waiting until I get power to it for a kitchen.

Nika @hwpd.bsky.social · 01/04/2026

Here they are, the crack team of marines for universal destruction, the main cast. I worked really hard on this :)

April fools, this is a drawing of mine from 2009 featuring some poorly drawn human soldiers from the very start of my work on UD

Nika @hwpd.bsky.social · 30/03/2026

Forgot my favorite bit on the outside of the building :3 I love making signs for things.

Full image of the Blahaj Blast ad thing.

Nika @hwpd.bsky.social · 30/03/2026

I never posted the followup because I still haven't finished the interior. half of the building is still being 'renovated' while the other half is going to be the storage monitor office.

Screenshot from minecraft, of a half finished interior with wooden studs and pipes.

Minecraft Screenshot of a finished empty office interior.

Minecraft screenshot. Storage control office with the display boards showing how full the vaults are.

Nika @hwpd.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

I think this might by my most favorite building yet. I'll post some interior shots soon, had to hop off.

Nika @hwpd.bsky.social · 27/02/2026

throwback to sometime around 2023

screenshot of a discord conversation where I post a picture of the 1980s layout of the M1 Abrams Gunner station panel and then a picture of the 2000s era layout saying: "Fs in the chat for me who realized that I've been basing the control stations for the tank on the 1980s M1 Abrams Configuration. Which for the tank Im working on is 100 years out of date"

The follow up picture is a screencap of Godzilla 1998 of Philippe the Frenchman saying "More Cream" but cream overwritten by the word Screens.

Nika @hwpd.bsky.social · 10/02/2026

I have more questions

Nika @hwpd.bsky.social · 10/02/2026

I havent played destiny 2 in a long time, who the FUCK is this and when did the Vex start wearing clothes?

The Ascarians are the ones who kicked that ass, and thus knew them back when they were not nice.

021

Nika @hwpd.bsky.social · 07/02/2026

Doodled a quick ref of sorts for the Daphur. Little space kobold like dudes. Historically they're pretty villainous, but right now they are in a societal reshuffle and moment of friendliness. All stemming from getting their ass kicked on a massive scale. #furryart #worldbuilding #scifi

image reference of the Daphur, short kobold like lizards. A male and female. the female has feathers/fluff on their shoulders and down their tail.
