I love working #ConceptArt. Re-designing things or exploring completely new ideas from scratch. The iteration process of it. Trying to explore an idea while tying to make it workable withing the art direction & style constraints.
It scratches the creativity & problem solving itch at the same time.

I post more about culture war grifters then I should.
They're not that overly influential in nerd spaces now. Mainly serving hate to the already misanthropic. A circle jerk of insipid posturing bravado.
I just want folks to enjoy this nerd golden age, were the stigma is low & the buffet is great.

Finally got to use the oversized ride on mower at the museum.
Given the unevenness of the terrain there, its was like off roading in a giant unwieldy bumper-car.
ie Heaps fun!

An encapsulation of why the faux culture war' is deeply weird/discordant: Youtuber cosplaying as fem-emperor, makes vids angry about blackSMs, fem-custodes & gay rep. Declares that sex has no place in 40k. Is mates with the 'woke only want fem to goon' guy.

Still chipping away at some character art.
Finished up the value pass. For the 3 folks that are interested, its my usual process of starting out vague and rough to get a general lighting idea, then cleaning and refining in each subsequent pass.

Flashback:
This remains one of my favorite bit of 40k fan art, although a bit old now.
It was one of the few times I really pushed myself for a simple fan piece, probably in part because I and a few friends were getting a lot of hate over FemSM and I wanted to do my best for us.

Just read a video transcript that genuinely made the claim that Fem-Custodes miniatures and things like them are 'against nature and against Jesus' and I am once again asking... are these people alright?

Often when religiously repeating the litany of franchises DEI/Woke supposedly killed & how it will happen to GW, Dr Who gets name dropped.
Because, and see if you can detect a complaint theme, we got a lady doctor.
But citing Dr Who this way amuses me due to its deep ignorance and bad faith.

My Xbone died a little while ago, & being a person who likes to retain their game tech, I tried to have it repaired. Apparently the motherboard is dead, so no dice.
The optic drive in my partners Xbone has also failed.
So I'm gonna play drive swap & Im getting a reconditioned Xbone for my birthday 😀

So this take by Rock is obviously "culture war" drivel.
But it does make me think, why is it so loved? Given I can't speak for others I wont pretend my reasons are your or majority reasons. But I will waffle a little.
Short version: I love dystopian settings.

"Only Chaos is bad" is such a weak ass take. Like the whole ass point of the Imperium is that power will do evil to maintain control because it's easier than making lives better even if doing so would actually eliminate the threat of their enemies.

AI vs Concept Art.
I think there are a couple of things folks on the outside, don't understand about the concept art process and why AI is a hindrance, not a help.
Example 1 : Scorpion oil Lamp, information and understanding.

Love it when you have your head down, partner sleeping soundly beside you, and you are hit by a wave of death related existential dread.
It's an unavoidable, defining aspect of what we are. But fuck I hate death.

When someone lies about the lore, and:
Complains that an Alpha legion character isn't white "Like Alpharius "
Whines about how there would not be black Cadians.
Moans that 'dark skinned' space wolves, would not be black.
- It's not lore defence. It's simply racism hiding behind bad cover.

Not only does the legion not all look like a bald white guy, but it also stands to reason that given their appearance altering tech, Alpharius would alter themselves to look like someone else when infiltrating.
Given marines "need" to be male, becoming a women would be great cover.

Previous book Harrowmaster specifically pointed out that its a subset of the legion that does the look a like thing (and they kind of creep out the others)
Once again this is racism dressed up as lore defense, from people not across the lore they are supposedly defending.
