Figured I should probably get some of my higher effort pieces posted on here for visibility - Hi! I'm Raymond, and I really like drawing sapient military vehicles in somewhat whimsical yet ultimately mundane situations, and developing the lore of the world around them.

Cycling through the dark, the rain, the wind. Ultimate freedom. In those moments you know a better world awaits.

like they have caterpillar segments in their neck-equivalent area. I gave them a little extra flex in that sketch aft of the intakes that probably won't exist in the final version

It's actually not as flexible as this sketch would hint at since it's a rough concept, these guys have a sort of segmented/articulated skin forward of their engine intakes that can stretch and contract to an extent to allow for movement - but the bending normally makes them look almost wrinkly or

also because yellow and everyone was putting banana emotes on them when I was sharing on discord LMAO

this fella is part time air catcher, part time flight instructor which has them operating on the opposite ends of the flying spectrum - get you a guy who can do both fr, also likely giving them the nickname Top Banana inspired by the Hughes Airwest slogan since I've been thinking about them lately

concept sketch for a mockup of a design I want to put onto the back of a leather jacket at some point, I just need to get around to buying the leather paints at some point - also some characterization because I'm incapable of not doing that:

Flight training is going pretty well at the moment and I just completed ground school - here's my attempt at getting back into the groove of sketching by hitting my lesson C152 with the livastiafication beam

A shy sphinx 🐆🌷

A digital painting of a sphinx laying down. Her body is that of a black panther with faint jaguar spots. She has dark skin, with a catlike nose and whiskers. Her face is round with spots along her forehead and cheeks. She is wearing a dark magenta headscarf that is fastened into a thick gold necklace. A brilliant blue reflects on her, adding volume to the painting. The entire background is a flat peach color, with the shape of low foliage in the foreground. The artists name is in the bottom right of the image

I’m not into steam locomotives all that much, but Shay locomotives are cool as heck - all wheels are powered via a geared driveshaft which is so hypnotic to watch 🐶❤️🚂

Listen to me. You have to watch The Dark Crystal Age of Resistance. You have to see these fucking puppets dude. There's a puppet show within the show where the puppets are using puppets and it fuckin rips shit. The skeksis are so shitty and I love them and they are all my friends.

At the moment I'm gunning for the private pilots cert that allows for single engine flight, but once I get that I'll be moving towards an IFR certificate and endorsements for tailwheel, multi engine, and sea planes! I'm in a lucky spot right now to have access to all of that

Raymond (ko-fi shop always open!) @beetle3000.neocities.org · Sep 10

Sorry fellas art machine broke for a fair bit, I am pursuing my pilots certificate - in the mean time look at these beautiful women I was blessed by the presence of a few weeks ago

Make your art political. Make your art divisive. If people complain, make your art more political and divisive. Don't relent. The people destroying the world won't.
Say what you have to say. Art is about screaming. People need to hear screaming, so they know it's okay for them to scream too.
