A goon from the Order of St Leopold based on @saltyjub.bsky.social 's design for Hunter: the Parenting !
A tall figure wearing Cold-War-to-modern combat armor. He is wearing a a drab grey urban camo uniform cut in an old fashioned style with blue braiding on the cuffs and spats covering his calves. Above it he is wearing a stabproof vest and several plates of armor in strategic locations, chiefly around the neck; the plates are blue and some bear a red heraldic lion. His helmet is an old Adrian vehicle crew one that has been fitted with a hinged ballistic faceplate. He is wielding an AR rifle with a wooden stock and a silver finish, fitted with a night vision scope and a bayonet lug for a stake-point bayonet.

When people say the Chauchat is cursed that's not really what they mean. #art #trenchcrusade
A woman in a black and horizon blue uniform standing with an open grimoire in one hand and a skull in the other, with an automatic rifle burning with demonic energy slung across her shoulders.
She has short blond hair, blue eyes, freckled pale skin and tattoos of a snake and barbed wire visible on her chest through her unbuttoned shirt. Her light blue uniform greatcoat is worn open and features decorative white facings, matching her forage cap and contrasting with her black trousers tucked into white spats. A black Adrian helmet bearing a wedjat eye insignia is there for belt clutter. Fucking love belt clutter.
The grimoire she's holding open in her right hand is cascading with fabric bookmarks stamped with wax seals.

Be self-indulgent with your art. Just do it. Make that thing you think is too cringe to make. Whether people love it, or never even see it, just make it. Make what YOU want to make.

I work only 20 hours a week now after getting canned from my last gig, yet I have even less time for art, less time for creativity, less time for OCs and gaming. I just want to create and tell stories and not feel like I'm drowning.

A selection of fantasy tiller guns to populate your rpg sessions ! #art #weapon
Five tiller guns; a tiller gun is an early firearm making its appearance in the Late Middle Age. It is simply a barrel fitted onto a wooden pole for handling, before shoulder stocks replaced that layout.
The first gun is the Alchemist's Delight, a long textured bronze tube coiled into a crozier shape, fitted with pipes and valves and decorative grape leaves. The muzzle of it has been tempered into a gradient of reds and purples due to heat.
The second gun is Garmr, a much shorter weapon with a driftwood one-hand grip studded with nails. The barrel is dark cold iron patterned around its length with Norse runes, with the muzzle being the head of a snarling wolf. The whole thing is covered in bright red blood splatter, with the implication that once you've fired your shat you can just as well batter people with it.
The third gun is the Skórzana, it has a very long leather and banded iron barrel fitted onto an unprocessed birch pole. The barrel has a wide axehead attached to it in a style similar to a bardiche.
The fourth gun is Piquerisme, with a wide wooden handle marked with knife marks ending in a short hooked barrel on one side and a swordstaff on the other, both made of gleaming steel. The barrel has a simple serpentine trigger holding a slow match coiled around the handle.
The fith gun is Umirtà, with a large column-shaped brass barrel fitted on a ribbed wooden handle and fitted with sky blue tassels. The barrel ends in a small axe head, and bears the inscription "ANTONIVS CRASSVS 'SALVE' DICIT" which can be translated as "Fat Tony says 'hello' ".

a small collection of drawings of my OC Tenma-00. on the left we see her with her hooded shawl up and looking despondent, facial features hidden behind her peach-colored hair, and a circular golden glyph framing the back of her head like a halo. in the top middle we see a full view of her face, revealing a multi-colored bismuth-like structure where her left eye should be. on the right we see her without her shawl, hands held together in front of her as she walks alongside her large, mechanical minion Archie.

I’m increasingly of the belief that we’ve never truly left the Great Financial Crisis. Everything we’re dealing with today started there, and every excess and problem stems from the US government’s failure to contain or eradicate its causes.

#HELLBREAKERS (chapter 3) poor nixa is trying her fucking best to understand what the Fuck is going on with Winn + their friend + the child that hangs around them
A grayscale image of three people cleaning up a graveyard. The text labels them: FORMER LOVER THEIR EX-NAVY SAILOR FRIEND (?) (THEIR?) 12 YEAR OLD CHILDA woman stands looking at this. The text box notes she’s trying to figure out the situation. She asks, “so… are you guys… partners?”They all stars at her blankly. The sailor says, “Partners…?” The former lover says, “huh? No…?” The child just looks.A closeup of the woman’s face. She says, oh.” While WHAT IS HAPPENING? floats over her face.

A grayscale drawing. A child seriously puts their hand on a halfling man’s shoulder. They say, “Polliver?” He answers, “yes?” They continue, “can you look out for winn? While you’re out of town?” With a very weary expression: “they need all the help they can get.”

Polliver: Very reliable, very scammable
Serado: Unscammable, the only person less reliable than Winn
Hilde: Clearly reliable, unscammableValerra: ... and then there's this guy. 

WINN: unreliable, too easy to scam

Valerra: It's not even fun, they just... give me stuff. Clearly they need someone to look out for them, or who knows what they'd give away!

#HELLBREAKERS still trying to figure out ethran, drew one of those charming moments where winn expects nothing and is shocked when they receive kindness they don't need to beg for
A grayscale drawing; one person scratches the back of their neck. They say, "So, I'm sorry for getting your breakfast just to ask a favor, but... would you mind sparring with Valerra every few days while I'm away? I just--"

The person next to them, eating a doughnut, says, "Sure. What are you drilling her on?"

Winn shocked face. "oh. really? uh, thank you."

#HELLBREAKERS (chapter 3) thinking about winn and valera's festival day nonstop. her worrying about whether they can afford the things they're giving her... ;_;
A child poses dramatically while a person with piecemeal armor observes. They say, “I like the, uh, ears. Is it supposed to be a wolf? Cute.”

The child responds, “NO, it’s FIERCE. It’s a goblin bat!”A child in a floppy hood eats a pretzel and says with her mouth full, “… so, yeah, Xerra gave me the coat. I’ve been getting them to gimme free breads and stuff, too!”

Winn, nodding which a narrator box points to them and says, “asked xerra to feed her while they were gone.”A child in a cape with big floppy ears thinks, “can they REALLY afford this? Their armor’s crap and they quit their dock job…” while beside her a person in not very good armor thinks, “what do kids like…? What did I like? What do I like…”The kid turns, saying, “I’m good, actually.”

The person in armor looks dubious but says, “okay.”

I'll be judged by my own accomplishments...... assuming | have any."The person before her stands, confident. Text labels them: posture, confidence, expensive kit. Conclusoon: professional mercenary. They ask, "Well? You up for it?"
She thinks, nervously, Fuck. My mother's armor. They think I'm a fellow professional, not a new recruit. But if I decline, I'l look like a coward!
