Alright. so, technically, I've always been open. But due to having a perpetually full queue, I rarely advertise myself.

That has changed lately, so I'm branching out and diversifying.

If you have questions or a submission, send me a message, DMs always open!

Unlike when I touched up the Soldier, I was already pretty satisfied with how the Savior played

Gonna try and wrap up the new savior sprite, I've been experimenting with streaming my art lately, so feel free to hop in if you're into that.

Something important to keep in mind about the Salvation Initiative is that the Arkarans knowledge of the technology that went into it is mostly practical, not academic. They salvaged the wrecks of something that was attacking them, picked them apart, and while they were often-

I never did texture that ballistic armor...so have a walk cycle i guess.

The Soldier's sprite and design weren't quite appealing to me. So I've touched the sprite up and reworked the ship as a whole. It's now much more aggressive like the other salvation hulls

I'm also planning to do another pass on the Savior's sprite

It's getting closer...

Refining the placement of screws to take care of problems I haven't considered when drawing

Still need to take care of a few more structural elements then I can go and do switches

Yeah I guess thats what happens when you let a missile exist for too long (It passed through its target and then looped all the way back around over 18 seconds)

The factions of TTC wont have normal stations, they'll have this instead. A big mass driver built to cheaply transfer resources across a system, and be torn down within a cycle to be rebuilt elsewhere

Aside from the driver itself, The real fight will be the fleets that swarm around it at all times

I've made some stat adjustments to several of these and don't feel like individual showcases right now, so enjoy this funny build instead:

The IRPAL no longer stands alone in my upcomming Starsector Mod as the only phased array laser system available to the arsenal of Arkgneisis

weird hightech battle carrier thing I made

Having been waffling on weapons for the last few days, I only just now counted the large VLS cells on this ship.

69 in total.

Unfortunately, since Arkarans count in base 5, they cannot make the joke.

The graceful ballet of orbital positioning and maneuvering turns into a wild, blinding exchange of particle beam fire as both dancers meet, beams ricochet off magnetic shields or hit their targets, producing bremsstrahlung radiation as it fries out both systems and people.

A friend of mine inspired me to do some low poly + low rez modelling and I wanted to make a little picket ship.

Good morning.

Time for an art showcase.

Some of my scenes I made over the years.

Enjoy.

Somebody put in some work to translate some of the ciphered text in Sovereign Incident, and even provides the cipher

Check it out if you were curious! I'm not going to provide this myself as a matter of principle, but this is what I hoped would happen!
