Gorgeous. The isometric view really helps nail a sense of scale and space. It really reminds me of Breath of Fire 3 & 4. Also the overall aesthetic is rad.

Updating my website has been shockingly fun and a change of pace for my creative focus. Still not finished, but it's absolutely looking better.
Also been working on Veil Runners. Mar-Apr has focused on updating dice, finding artists, world details, & keeping my creative energies high. Another teaser:
"Worship of the Consort is often based in lies, the collection of knowledge, and on rarer occasions, acts of unabashed, traitorous violence."
Life is hectic but I'm doing well. Not much space for social media right now. That said, the two studies I'm working on have been delayed so at the very least here's a teaser.
Study in Time: Change over time & the power of body mods
Study in Bottles: Everyday tasks combined w/ chronic health woes
That's home. That's us.
This image of home just came down from the Artemis II crew.

Never stop making art
My knowledge of Realis is limited, but I can say that I'm super excited to see this project move forward. Years of work on something really unique and interesting coming to fruition is worth celebrating. Good luck to everyone involved.
Thank you for the thread! Happy #tdov all!
I’m Alyx, a photographer, writer, & tabletop game developer. My site is going through some updates (especially the Veil Runners section) but you can find more of my photos & writing there.

I need to step away from social media for a bit. Everything is okay. Just need some time.
There will be a study at the end of March/start of April.
🚨 IT'S ELECTION DAY 🚨
This is it. Today decides everything.
Let's make it count: Knock doors, make calls, talk to your friends, and make sure everyone you know in IL-09 makes their voice heard!
During 2001-2005ish my mom worked as a nurse at a couple of hospitals where a lot of US casualties were going. It’s scary to know someone we care about might get deployed. Sending good vibes. I wish I could give more but my family mostly had to sit and wait and see.
I really love this and am absolutely going to implement it into Veil Runners. On top of being a cool idea it really helps focus more of my broad art commission wants.
Never considered this but I love the idea. It gives the game a face that folks can identify and enjoy
I still constantly hum and sing this.

I find my interest in 40k leaning toward “people.” Playing with circumstances that focus not on faction or survival but living makes the model building/painting even more fulfilling.
What commonalities do a GSC Magus, an Escher Queen, & a squad of Aquilons have kind of stuff.

March is going to be a bit weird for posting. Current plans:
Mar 9-3: Update, 2-3 photos
Mar 16-20: Veil Runner update, 2-3 photos
Mar 23-27: Veil Runner update pt. 2
Mar 30-April 3: New Study
These are big maybes as life & health are a lot, website needs updating, & I have galleries to talk to.
So, I guess it’s my birthday? I don’t know how to feel about that.
For now, it’s off to some new breakfast place and having a bit of a date day.
Absolutely gorgeous work!
Took a month+ but they’re finally ready for paint. I’ve got some color schemes in mind but actually doing the thing is a different story. Excited to give it a shot.
Leaning into an urban snow vibe, Helghan vibes, or something off the wall like underhive gang colors.

If you can provide $3k checks for the entire middle class of America by taxing 900 people a little more, not only should you do it, but you should take it as a signal that your monetary system is broken
Aquilons built, priming started, & names brainstormed. Nice way to relax & recover this week.
I like the idea they work in smaller teams w/in the squad.
1. Commander with servitor & guard.
2. Melee spec. w/ plasma, las, & marksman.
3. Grenadier, heavy, las, & guard

Watching @peeve.bsky.social play Link’s Awakening is a really wild experience. LA was foundational to my love of games & Peeve was one of the first streamers I enjoyed.
Seeing my childhood & adult lives collide like that is intense, especially just a few days away from my birthday. It’s nice.
Won’t be around much this week. Need some time to recover and exist.
Allegedly.
Has your back…Like they did when they let veterans die, or be homeless, or be killed in combat due to subpar training, gear, etc.
Educated officers is one of the few things the military does somewhat correctly.
Hegseth is a fucking moron.
“Has your back while actively stabbing” will be his legacy.
As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.
- I’ve lived here for 12 years but I go places I’ve never seen & meet all kinds of people. Got a running list of "new to me" restaurants to try.
- Lower pay & flexible schedule helps me keep my insurance while working. We have some extra financial stability, I can take time off, & it’s fun.
🧵6/6
(cont) I tend to land a regular number of jobs. Friday/Saturday night during peak hours I can take home ~$60 in 4-6 hours.
- The UE Driver does what it needs to do relatively well. Basic GPS, directions, messaging with clients, etc. It’s not great, but it works well enough.
🧵5/?
(cont) The more “bad trips” you take, the more you seem to be offered as UE’s system now flags you as a “desperate" driver.
- Uber is a giant corporation
Pros:
- Tips can be incredible. I typically make between $5-8 on a delivery. Some nights I make $20 on a trip.
🧵4/?
Cons:
- Wages are terrible. You rely on tips. UE pays you less if you’re are projected to have a higher tip.
- UE Driver app is bad if you need support. You’re typically directed to an AI auto reply machine of any issues.
- Some people don't tip. You can refuse a limited number of deliveries.
