@tekkacroe.bsky.social 's space ninja Reina in action. Felt nice taking another go at drawing her, given their influence on my designs

Several pages of recent ink sketches (with a little digital color). I'm still getting used to how quickly fountain pens can lay down ink.

This is what real, thoughtful, art philosophy looks like.

Reworking my old solar mage design. I've tried to take a holistic approach, and let his outfit's construction define the shapes.

Vermilion Hope stuff from a little while back: figuring out some more realized construction and articulation for the TAC ARMs' inner frames. I'm especially pleased by the ab crunch and shoulder extension both articulating from the same axis.

Clarification work on Reina's armor, focused on making the core suit sleeker while rationally layering gear over it.

Been too long since I last drew Gray or Phoebe, let alone in armor.

Work from last year: Low-ish fidelity model and texture test, based on my Karic guys' standard service weapon.

Note: "Captain" is not a rank, but a title which exclusively refers to a ship's designated commander. #art #sketch #characterdesign

Reina's physique continually challenges my ability to draw. Her build is powerful, but tightly constrained. The challenge is in finding the balance between muscularity and sleekness, as it's easy to go too far in either direction. #art #sketch #characterdesign

Revision sketches for Cirrus from this year and last. Gradually honing in her configuration. #art #sketch #mecha

Sketching at low resolution and playing with colors. Reina is a distinctly cat-type woman. #art #sketch

This eccentric class of warship was ideally suited to Mars' broad plains and shallow seas. Their overland speed made them ideal for retrofit as mobile TAC ARM bases during the Nibiru War. #art #scifiart #mecha

Old art for Vermilion Hope: Ideation for basic Nibiru units. The taller advanced type starts appearing late in the war, as the Nibiru begin adapting to fighting against TAC ARMs. #art #sketch #mecha

Examples of typical medium-weight armor. Important for maintaining a baseline of comparison for my crew of weirdo specialists. #art #sketch

A huge reason that I find Space Marines compelling is that they are mecha. Please consult my diagram.

Last sketch for 2025. I've been slacking on my personal work the last couple of months, but I'm feeling energized to get back to it. #art #sketches

A few more small ink sketches. I got a couple of pleasant colors during the month, but didn't want to disrupt my normal monochrome format during the daily challenge. #art #traditionalart #fantasyart

Extra art: Gwen back in her adventuring days. She was originally the protagonist of an abandoned fantasy story that I worked on back in 2010-2014. Of my roster of characters Gwen was always my Mom's favorite, so it's important to me that I keep her around in some capacity. #art #fantasyart

Inktober 31: Endless Tower At the heart of the world, an impossible white tower stands from the sea. The sight of it on the horizon inspires a feeling of grave importance, though none can say exactly why. #art #traditionalart #inktober2025

Inktober 30: Skirmisher A hit-and-run attacker whose proficiency in a broad array of non-magical arms affords him unparalleled versatility. A skirmisher can always be counted on to have the right tool for the job. #art #traditionalart #inktober2025

Inktober 28: Brawler Crab An enormous crab with clubbed claws and a goring horn, that can grow to the size of two men. They are hardy and adaptable, and quickly become a menace to coastal peoples unless regularly culled. #art #traditionalart #inktober2025

Inktober 27: Waterfall Gate A truly vast complex burrowed into the cliffs. The outer halls are well enough documented that local adventurers will sometimes practice their charting and navigation here. The deepest halls remain to be seen. #art #traditionalart #inktober2025

Inktober 26: Casting Orb While the exact mechanism is not known, something about the sphere's compact geometry makes it well suited to channeling powerful attack spells. #art #traditionalart #inktober2025

Inktober 19: Small Focus A miniature casting focus. Useful for casting enchantments and small spells of convenience, but unsuited to sustained or heavier-duty work. #art #traditionalart #inktober2025

Inktober 16: Breaker The first (and frequently last) word in melee striking power, the savage arc of a Breaker's two-hander leaves monsters reeling and smaller foes flat on the ground. #art #traditionalart #inktober2025
