I’m working on a terrain project that isn’t quite<\/em> ready to show yet, but I didn’t want to miss my monthly bloggerating, so instead I’ll show off some art I made for the project:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s an O-12 Kappa! In a very odd pose! We’ll get to that in a sec!<\/p>\n

I don’t draw very often– maybe 2-3 times a year– and when I do, it’s almost exclusively<\/a> fantasy art<\/a>. I just find it a lot more enjoyable to draw low-tech clothing and equipment; sci-fi outfits demand much more care and precision when drawing, and honestly the process just kind of bums me out. As a result, I think this is the first Infinity art I’ve made since the story league<\/a> I participated in in 2015, and the first ever of what I would consider “full process” art– going from pencils, to inks, up to colours.<\/p>\n

Aaaaaand it’ll probably be the last for a while, because I still don’t find all the hard edges to be that fun to draw. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

Wheee laziness!<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, what’s up with this piece? Why did I break my no-sci-fi rule, and why is the Kappa so awkwardly posed? Well, that would be because I was working on a terrain piece that really demanded a propaganda billboard of some sort, and if I was going to do that, I might as well follow through on a joke I’ve been vaguely meaning to do for five years:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

HAHAHAHAHA<\/strong>oh wait, I don’t speak Mandarin.<\/p>\n

Uh, hmmm. One sec…<\/p>\n

*rummages*<\/em><\/p>\n

Ah, here we go.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s right, it’s the joke everyone makes in their head when reading through the fluff blurbs in the weapon and equipment sections: “HAHA THE CONCILIUM CONVENTION BANS IN THE RULEBOOK SURE ARE SILLY”.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

EDIT:<\/strong> Someone asked me to make a Spanish version as well, so, uh… donde esta la zapateria, muchachos!<\/p>\n

As always with my art posts, I recorded myself colouring this dumb meme and turned it into a time lapse video set to music:<\/p>\n
