Psst I've been meaning to ask, but what material did you get these printed in? I think I asked at the show, but forgot to write it down. Was very impressed with how tough those skeletons were!

The spectacularly produced new art book, Mesozoic Art II, hit the shelves! I happen to be one of the artists featured in the line-up of fantastic people who bring the dead back to life! A great opportunity to talk about my creative journey 🧵

Good evening, Eastern Eight Zone. Now I'm trying to design the head of the Welsh Red Dragon in my style. But I only referred to the image on the flag and was just having some fun. The research was not very thorough.

"That window riiight there. Yeah. Shoot that guy." HORUS Spectre, for the Iphigenia at Midnight narrative module. An avatar of revolution, built from captured SecComm armor and absolute unwavering conviction.

A weathered green-and-grey mech kneels with a large rifle, pointing at an off-screen target. Two infantrymen stand beside it: one readies a shoulder-fired rocket while the other covers his ears and waits for the blast.

I had to figure out how the heck to paint these things within mere days of flying out for the con.... (master procrastinator + never used an airbrush or finished painting any minis before!) Turned out pretty okay I think

Aight gonna spam more of these lil Yi Qi guys, some silly phone pics for now. See thread below for more! The woodland pics were taken at Dinocon, found this really cool little footpath that led from the uni through a park, towards downtown (Also I think these can be called #paleoart yeah?)

Shoutout to certain dinocon ppl for getting me to appreciate (and perhaps become mildly obsessed with) sauropods. Like, what the hell. What cool, weirdass giant critters they were! "Extreme engineering" on another level for real

I think that whole adventure put me in a good enough mood to consider posting some stuff online again, outside of my personal site. (There's a fine line though, I'm VERY distractable and social media isn't the best for me there💀so we'll see. "Mildly active" at best)

(Yes if you saw someone wearing little homemade Yi Qi BJDs on their shoulders, that was me haha. I'll post more about 'em later! Learning how to make BJDs was on my to-do list this year) The sticker was also for fun, vs going with the usual business card thing. Was Yi themed all the way down hah!

figured I might as well post some occasional things again. I update my site on occasion, but I know most people will not go out of their way to check there (understandably so)

MechMonster @mechmonster.bsky.social · 12/04/2025

Yeah it's chill here for now! Political muskrat crap aside, the bot/ads situation was getting out of control over there. Part of me kinda hopes bsky doesn't get TOO big either though since a lot of problems seem to be related to scale, from how many social media sites I have watched rise and fall

120

MechMonster @mechmonster.bsky.social · 12/04/2025

YEAH like anyone can just grab the data firehose and do with it as they wish Common thing I see these days (at least among industry peeps) is minimal posting, sometimes nightshade/glaze (looks bad on my stuff tho augh) and have a loginwalled portfolio for serious clients to see the good stuff!

010

MechMonster @mechmonster.bsky.social · 12/04/2025

I do hope people realize that Bsky is aggressively public by design tho, and therefore is not "safe from AI" even if you "hide" your account. Open protocol is the entire point, but it means that it's easier to scrape than the login-walled social media sites. Just something to keep in mind..!

MechMonster @mechmonster.bsky.social · 12/04/2025

Really neat to see lots of artists have moved over here! Probs not quite as active as the initial influx, but I tend to always be late to the party anyway these days. Still have to find everyone I used to follow elsewhere, but I sure don't plan to use twitter anymore. Not a huge fan of IG either

MechMonster @mechmonster.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

It might be rather niche, but I am hoping that anatomical modelling/science communication art will be generally AI-proof, because they need to be specific and accurate, and therefore cannot make use of random AI slop (And of course I enjoy it a lot - it's super fun building these!)

MechMonster @mechmonster.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

The lil yeena was an anatomical study designed for 3D print - a little resin copy is already sitting on my shelf! Def want to do more of this kind of thing in the future.

#PortfolioDay? At this hour? Alright alright, I'll bite - I've been pretty dang quiet on social media these days after all. Hi, concept artist here, who has gone from designing IRL vehicle stuff, to sketching/modeling many guns and things for viddy game, and now...animal sculpting? Sure! Why not.
