AAAAAA, I can't really answer this one without spoilers but uh, as vaguely as possible? Keeping important, worldview-shattering secrets. "It's classified" can only carry you so far

OK, Seph was admittedly a bit too hard because the Sororitas armor is so I conic and I am not 100% happy with the face but! This is still way better than any of my efforts would have been

When you're 3 hours into Heresy and Chill and she gives you that look

...that's Caterina out of the way, now comes the true test

Played around with picrew.me/en/image_mak... and would ya look at that. A pitch-perfect Alira... now I have to try the other two

Cat being an Inquisitor and Alira being a Rogue Trader from an ancient dynasty (Her Warrant of Trade is one of the originals granted by Big E himself) they are both absolutely LOADED to the point where they can literally buy a planet just for shits and giggles. Seph gets to benefit from it.

How's your OC's relationship with money? Are they more on the rich or the poor end? 💸 💰

Not me noticing that the formatting on the first two chapters was still the docs formatting and having to manually replace all paragraphs with normal line breaks 😭 At least I caught it NOW and not on Friday

Cat is a Pariah, and while in the current time she is cheating by using a limiter to hide her nature. In the past she had to just grit her teeth and deal

And then there are the situations where she turns it off on purpose, it compliments the scary =][= very nicely

Are there any prejudices other characters in your universe have (or had) about your OC? How does (or did) your OC deal with these?

Ugh. OK, I need to go back to the drawing board, find a different inspo for the IG regiment in my fic and rewrite the uniform/gear descriptions, and I need to do it STAT.

'Jin-Roh but more 40K' just ain't it and it doesn't fit Cat's established aesthetic sensibilities

Fellas, we haven't even cleared act 1 of this campaign yet
Digital drawing of my Enginseer CK tiredly looking at the camera while sipping motor oil with a straw. He wars a t-shirt with a sign on it that reads "Caution: This machine has no brain. Use your own." Above him is a screenshot of a tumblr post by user traversety that reads: "The stirit is willing but the flesh is so fucking out of it rn. actually the flesh would like to pack it up and leave. it's done with the horrors."

Did I say 8th? I meant 9th. My bad. But also, scratch that 'likely' and make it a 'definitely'

This made me realise that I rarely give exact dates for my 40K blorbos, but here goes:
- Alira: a very good looking 300
- Cat: 240ish, time in the Warp doesn't count
- Sepheriel: The 'Baby' of the main trio, 34
- Matilda, Val, Magna: mid 20s to mid 30s
- Sabbatine, Celestia: 25 both
- Frest: 21

I'm levelling up yet again today, and, as is tradition, I'd ask for some sharing of my art. :)

Photos of your pets in comments are also very welcome!
Evithorir, painted for Critical Role by Zoe Badini. Evithorir is described as an elven figure perpetually shrouded in shadows. Its face is pale gray, its skin is pulled tight against bone. Its teeth are crooked and elongated and its eyes glow. In this scene it stands in front of a large glowing green crystal pillar, surrounded by black and greenish flames. Its body flows and disappears into the shadows. Its hands are lifted at its sides, casting more dark shadows. Hidden and trapped inside its chest we can glimpse a reddish emaciated figure. We’re in a pleasant forest setting, with lots of greenery and the sun peeking through the canopy. We see tree houses made of natural materials on the trees. A young, dark skinned elf is running madly towards the camera, laughing. He’s holding a chicken under one arm and a rope strung with strange berries in the other hand. A whole flock of chickens is following him, apparently crazy about the berries. The chaotic scene is being watched by two shocked bystanders. A ladybug clad in an armor made of leaves and flower petals stands on a large white flower. They’re wielding magic wands, a spellbook and a shield made out of a seed husk. White war paint adorns their face and shield. They are casting fire spells against a horde of wasps. Destiny, painted for the 2024 Upper Deck Fleer Ultra Matriarchs of Marvel set. Portrait view of a figure wearing a mysterious golden mask. She’s wearing a hooded black cloak. In front of her there’s an open book with glowing writing, she’s extending a hand gloved in black fabric towards it and the viewer, as if to read the words. Pages covered in glowing symbols float away from the book around her.

Gonna start being annoying(tm) about my fic again, but the mental whiplash going through multiple perspectives per chapter is never going to stop being funny. especially since two of them are lowkey spy/detective stories and the third is ✨ SPACE CAPITALISM ✨

The lowkey Exterminatus in the background of the Total War 40K triler had me chuckling. Nothing to see here, just Inquisition business, carry on...

✨ Thanks for supporting my art!!
A promotional photo for the artist (AeriFiretruck)'s digital art raffle, in a beachy handwritten theme in blue and pink font. It reads: "Raffle for 5.5k. [Giving away] free bust. [An arrow points to the bust example.] Repost + Follow me to enter. If I hit 6K: Also a free painting with background to a 2nd winner with arrows point to painting examples. Ends Jan 2nd. Further terms include: Furry friendly. Tag your NSFW. No Minors. No AI. "YIPPIE" is written in caps several times across the negative space at the top of the image, but I'm not going to write it 5 times in the ALT text for a screen reader to yell at the viewer. ALT for individual photos below. Top: A mermaid is displayed from a camera angle at her thighs, accentuating her boobs and hourglass figure from below. She has pink hair and scales, with a baby blue bikini top and gold cuffs. She has a mischievous expression and webbed ears. Bottom left: A woman with blonde hair in a ponytail with a rose clasp sits on pink clouds in a painting. She is wearing an aqua outfit with tall knee boots with rose & gold accessories. Bottom middle: A purple alien woman with 3 blue eyes, pink eyeliner, and 4 arms poses in front of a fantasy space ocean. The water is bright, neon teal, and the sky is pink and purple. Her hair cascades past her thighs, dark purple at her roots transitioning to a vivid orchid by her thighs. She's wearing a black swimsuit with glowing blue star-shaped accents in the negative space over her skin sort of like futuristic fishnet. Bottom right: A woman in full plate armor poses heroically on a mountaintop as a tear rolls down her face. Her long, blond hair reaches her waist. Her armor is silvery, bright and shiny with iconic gold-trimmed pauldrons. The surroundings are misty and cloudy. END OF ALT.
