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:

I wanted to design the rest of Forlorn's body so here it is
(if I had a fursona it probably would be this lol)
- colour pencil
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

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.
I already have a situationship with a local PBY Catalina but who knows what the future could possibly hold,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
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
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.

baby MAI on the brain again because I saw that video again about the chicken that was given a peacock egg, and the peacock ended up so much bigger than their mom but the chicken still loved them so much - giant baby but this time the baby was always that big LMAO
