My commissions are open! And I have some big expenses coming up soon so now is a FANTASTIC time to commission me!

You can commission me through Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/shop/setting...

(reposts are very very much appreciated! 🙏❤️)

Here's a little taste of what you can expect -
digital painting of a lady in red armour holding a chainsword and a boltgun. She's standing in front of a glowy stained glass window looking up at the sword and little rose petals fall around her. 40k navigator with four arms. He has sickly grey green skin. He's wearing purple robes covered in scrolls and purity seals and many cables. His multiple arms are adorned with a plethora of bangles and rings. he has a metal mask and psyker helm that completely cover his face but he also has what looks like a trunk, also adorned in jewelery in golds, blacks and browns, a noble Rogue Trader of the Imperium of Mankind stands with her hand on her hip and her other hand resting on the hilt of a chainsword. She has super big baroque hair and lots of jewelery. she stands in front of lavish dark brown curtains A painting of a dark haired woman in vaguely renaissance era purple and red clothing. She's sitting down and has her hands crossed in front of her. many rings grace her fingers and she has a black piece of fabric draped over her shoulder featuring a red sigil.

I decided to do a runner-up prize for my little 1K giveaway for a new commission type I'm offering now: Profile Picture illustrations!

Here's what I came up with for @trashbeing.bsky.social featuring their half-elven sorcerer, Ned!

You can commission me through my Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/c/6ee715439d

Yet another four days of Swordtember completed!!

#Swordtember2025 #Swordtember
Ring - a vaguely organic tarnished golden sword. There is a circular hole in the crossguard in which there is an orrery. Swan - a golden sword. the cross guard resembles the body of a swan with the tail going down into the tail and becoming the fuller. The neck of the swan is the grip and its head is the pommel Owl - a steel sword. the handle is carved to look like fish swimming through water and this carving blends into the blade with the water becoming the fuller. The guard is fashioned to look like two mirrored owls each catching one of the fish. The pommel is shaped like an egg Venom - a very thin shortsword. the grip is fashioned to look like a lily with a snake wrapping around it. the snake's head ends on the blade and its tail goes up the grip and ends up wrapping around the pommel which is fashioned to look like a lily about to bloom. there is a dark ichor dripping down the blade.

Swordtember day 30 - Winter

4/4 Chaos Gods for the last four days of #Swordtember!

The frost associated with warp magic seemed a perfect fit for a Tzeentchian chainsword!

#Swordtember2025 #Warhammer40k #Chainsword
A chainsword on a textured black background. the sword is gold and icy blue and is covered in icy rime. It also has eyes coming out of it in random spots and feathers at the tip.

Oh I find them pretty juvenile too. You just basically said you didn't read them sooooo. But anyway, "comics" is a whole lot more than just superheroes and I think we're looking for comics hot takes. Not superheroes hot takes.

Navigator scions. Again.

These two characters are from an old Rogue trader tabletop campaign - the part that was a gothic romance. It ended poorly for them. Obviously haha
