Some Cannon fodder painting practice

I got one more little petit char doodle to post before I truly start this year.

I forgot the subtitles in video, but I put them in the alts.

The holidays are over, so I'll work myself up to full paintings again over the coming days.

I'm not totally depraved, this is partially based on my own experience and partially on that one ridiculous dress from Me Before You

Another year, another #art roundup. This year Ive experimented and pushed myself a lot. Shifting a lot more to painting in the process, I suspect that trend will continue next year

I wont pursue art as a career in 2026, so I'll focus a lot more on drawing for fun rather than technical skill mastery

Also got a timelapse because I wanted to try a new workflow. Taking the smudge brush and going ham is my favourite part of drawing.

Two more types of christmas outfits, wives edition.

Also Suraya is ticklish.

Whenever I draw for myself I think it often looks a bit skrunkly; I like to try out different ways to draw and stylize things more than getting super clean final images, but I'll probably start posting these doodle experiments too.

Next up would be redoing the namesake nation of FRANÇAISE with a more earnest attempt at combining tank armor and ~15th century knightly armor. A decorative cloth covering the plate with bare metal placard on the leclerc.

But I may take a little break from this series for now, it aint super popular

Last one of the Russian girlfailures. The TOS-1A counts as "unarmored" by the petit char design conventions, so no traditional Russian plate armor, but she is a close range urban brawler nonetheless.

A bit loser than the others to speed up the workflow (and have more fun)

The tattoo is a lenin power pole cat hybrid. celebrating the electricifcation of the people. Ran out of time to design a full sleeve, but it's power poles and cats on her arm all the way up.

Also drew the gun a bit too big and not functional enough, but oh well :D Next time.

Petit Char BMP-2M (field modified). The BMP has little armor, so I just thought about strap on ERA bricks and the personality developed from there.

Still thinking about how to balance inbetween "cute outfits, uniforms, fictionalized armor, and historical armor". (BMP2m being the first, foremost)
November 14, 2025 at 12:44 PM
Yes, since it's been a while, I will also redo the old French and German designs

I kinda wish information on 14th century "knightly" armor information was more accessible, or rather, not buried beneath enshitified google "buy my 50$ breastplate replica" results. Particularly national differences.

Petit Char resumes with wrapping up Russia's T90A, BMP2M and TOS-1.

It's the last of the original 3 nations to be featured, so once this triumvirate is wrapped up I'd love to hear which nation you'd like to see added next?

The visitors had come and gone. Their battlefield stretched from Jupiter to Neptune, a distant Kesslerian grave filled with artifacts. A salvagers feast, the swedish industrial consortium CHI rose to prominence as it provided propellant for the long trek out via the exploitation of lunar resources.

Oh man, is it friday already? How time flies.

I decided I want to update my portfolio, so that's a big project which takes a lot of time. I usually sneak in my own worldbuilding, because why not, when I already do all this work.

Here's a little WIP for the characters I'll need to illustrate.

Some #art doodles. Trying new things.

I included the sketching in the timelapse this time. But its mostly more stylized painting practice. I think I'm almost there with painting faces.

Getting the eyes to read well while in shadow was quite tricky on this one. Played around with using saturation a lot more than I thought I would
September 12, 2025 at 10:48 AM
I think the handgun was the trickiest on this one. Should have taken the time to solve it during sketching instead of during the painting stage.
September 12, 2025 at 10:48 AM
I also got the timelapses, here in order of creation. So you can see I got a lot more efficient as I dialed in on the final look.

A few recent stylized #lancerttrpg pilot comms.

It's always fun and super rewarding to be given the trust to just shoot into a general direction with regards to stylization and land exactly where they hoped it would land.
