Had to re-configure my world map in lieu of (insane) current events that may have a lasting ripple in the future of my WAR GRID #tabletop game setting. I'm cooking up more robots for the new faction but they're not quite ready to show. #tabletopgaming #mecha #blender3d #2dart #digitalart

New WAR GRID units! The original Mechanized Armor Capsule (MAC), built to mine ore from hostile space environments. And the Morning Star, which uses fiber-optic drones to to aid targeting, it's also the 1st MAC exclusive to the Northern Coalition faction! #tabletop #mecha #blender3d #digitalart
Variants! The Kraken uses its fiber optic drones to communicate via lasers with allies to transfer targeting data amongst the entire team in real time. The MAC II is the combat version of the (now ancient) mining rig. Has a bit more armor and a fixed weapon. #tabletop #mecha #blender3d #digitalart
Last one for now. I wanted to make a heavy MAC with "rubber hose" arms. It's strong, dexterous arms that give it a bonus in melee combat and allow it to carry some of the heaviest weapons available. This brings the MAC count for my #tabletop game WAR GRID to 20! #mecha #blender3d #digitalart

If you use generative AI, you are not a writer or artist.
Pass it on.

I love you all.
Please do not call my work whimsical. There is nothing whimsical here. I am not filled with whimsy when I work. Every piece is me screaming out to live in another world. 😭
Finally time to work on TANKETTES! The shop is coming along nicely. Now you can buy art, card packs, and gacha figures! All in-game currency. No microtransactions here! I need an overlay for the model inspector controls. #indiegames #gamedev #indiedev #retrogames #videogames #madewithunity #lowpoly
Long time since my last TANKETTES update! I've fixed lots of bugs. Also added a new defensive maneuver of ducking into the tank, cutting damage taken in half, greatly increasing longevity. Especially for light tanks! #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev #unity3d #blender3d #madewithunity
Adding a new #tank to Tankettes. Though "tank" is a bit of a stretch, I think. She's a mysterious TV #ghost with no name so they just call her Telly. VHS tapes will shoot out the VCR in the front. #indiegames #videogames #indiedev #gamedev #blender3d #animation #madewithunity #3dmodeling #lowpoly
We’ve officially been a Union for like a month and our Employer ™️ is already trying to screw us out of money THEY AGREED TO PAY US. I’m about to become the squeakiest goddamn wheel on this roller coaster. Thankfully our Rep is on top of things, we’ll just have to see if Employer ™️ keeps their word.
Added a patented Mech-Bopper to my character’s Thunderbolt. Perhaps he’s been spending too much time on Solaris VII… #battletech #mechwarrior #tabletop #tabletopgaming #minispainting #miniatures #mecha
Slight update to this one. Since I’ve been going melee-crazy I added a mirrorball mace to this Atlas and reposed the arm. #battletech #mechwarrior #tabletop #tabletopgaming #miniatures #minispainting #minis #mecha

By broadly condemning all violence no matter the motive or context, liberals have ensured that the marginalized can't fight back against those murdering them without being compared to their oppressors. It's a nauseating, juvenile standard.
Kind of? I was raised by an evil oil industry ex-military fascist, so I expected a Mad Max future. We’re getting there but it’s not happening as quickly as I expected. Also I thought more people would stand up to STOP this inevitable future rather than sit on their fucking hands and watch it happen.
Snake Plissken saying “Get a new president”
Double Dragon got me through a lot of tough times growing up.
I’ve had several people tell me they’re surprised that I’m opposed to war with Iran because I’m such a fan of a war video game and I think what’s going on here is that those people are just complete idiots.

Making a very humongous abomination for #battletech Gothic! I’ll probably work it into the scenario as a secret weapons project by the Draconic Imperium. Reaper Minis “Cave Sloth” is the base model. #mechwarrior #tabletop #tabletopgaming #kitbash #miniatures #WIP
This is why I immediately lose all respect for a person when they talk about using genAI or it being “the future.” Of what? Being a brain dead cash cow for evil CEO dipshits? Fuck that. MAKE SOMETHING WITH YOUR HANDS. It feels good AND you’ll have accomplished something for yourself.
We’re in a video game crash.
You can’t look at 45K jobs lost, games in dev for 5-10 years shuttered in a week or a month, jacked prices on hardware to 30%+ vs launch, and component prices through the roof due to garbage SlopTech and tariffs and draw any different conclusion.

Time for more mech surgery! The Zeus XX for #battletech Gothic! This mech is more abomination than machine. An integrated biotech system controlled directly by a Frayed that eventually merges with the mech… or maybe it’s eating them. 🤔 #mechwarrior #tabletop #tabletopgaming #miniatures #kitbash
And another! I’m finally making a Black Marauder! I really have to thank @squeezle.bsky.social for the spare sprues he gave me. They have some really great carapaces for this kind of project. #battletech #mechwarrior #miniatures #tabletop #tabletopgaming #kitbash
