I really struggled to build Heinrix on my first playthrough, before finding out his true potential with the pizza cutter, then he became an absolute nightmare on the field lol (not quite as scary as Abelard, but then again nobody can match him). Executioner builds are ridiculous and I love them

#is this maybe extremely jank??? should i have spent actual time on the bgs before posting????#maybe so! but its done now im tired of workin on it lol #the goblin draws #artists on tumblr #rogue trader #wh40k art #heinrix van calox #abelard werserian

An old reference of ignis's scars + a much newer timeline of his pre-game life, inspired by kaisermake's really cool timeline art of their RT, Thorne!

one might cope with being torn from your family, forced to master your cursed abilities in service of the emperor and just barely surviving sanctioning by retreating into fantasy, and into the stories you learned as a kid. One might then stubbornly hold onto his fantasies even well after a decade of service.

#the goblin draws #rogue trader #wh40k art #have not drawn a very young kid in yonks urrrghhhhh it looks so jank lol #whatevs i mostly wanted to draw his early battle-psyker look #i know its kinda meta to make an rpg OC who's character trait is having an in-world Hero Complex #but it fits his contrasting actions and views on the world

sketches of the pathetic loser gangrel im playing in my VTM game - Toni (and her cat Nugget) who hasn't been coping well with being dead at 19 :(

#shes beefed with or fought every other coterie member #but she also clowned her way into a situationship with one of them so it??? balances out??????#vtm oc #vtm art #vampire: the masquerade #just wanted to post some chill sketches #before i try to work on anything more srs

attempting to cure my artblock by inflicting it on cassia instead.

its WiP wednesday, and im trying to shake off a nasty artblock with smth silly

#the goblin draws #thought 'i should rlly take a break from ignis and rt in general to get my mojo back'#but then i started making this and got hype again!#ignis i cannot escape u...

19 & 30 >:)

19) What's their sexuality? What's their love language both giving and receiving?

Ignis is exclusively interested in men, and 100% the most important/impactful love language for him is touch - physical affection and total privacy has been a rarity throughout his life, his sadomasochistic tendencies are partially a manifestation of being touch starved lol. So once he's partnered he leaps on any chance to sneak in small fleeting touches when nobody's looking.

30) My OC and your OC are friends. This isn't a question. I'm not asking. (How do they respond?)

YESSSS I GET TO DRAW YOUR BOSS BABE THERESA AT LAST (and the ridic height difference between these two lol) love the blonde bff's with their questionable taste in men~ <3 <3 <3

#the goblin draws #rogue trader #heinrix van calox #calligos winterscale #a koronus expanse with these two + calligos running around would be such delightful chaos lol #if incendia doesnt get redeemed or killed then she exiles just to get the fuck away from their shenanigans #wh40k art

#fuckit why not #blorbo give me strength...

#rogue trader #heinrix van calox #when i am stressed my thoughts become more impure #i wanna get back to comics i prommy i just need some more chill work weeks #the goblin draws

listen, im a grown woman and if I wanna draw edgy dragon ladies for my Untitled Yuri Project then I WILL goddammit. and I will call her Litanu.

now, to draw more of her love interest/immortal enemy...

#the goblin draws #these two were apart of some much loftier fantasy epid ideas that ive decided to condense into one smaller enemies-to-lovers plot #and even this feels huge compared to other things ive done #so much to do. so much to plan #but hopefully between fanarts yall might like seeing the process???

merry new years im back on my bullshit

#rogue trader #the goblin draws #wh40k art #heinrix van calox #marazhai aezyrraesh #hes talking to yrliet. who is trying very hard to keep a straight face

template can be found here

....I think this is the first year where I'd actually made and posted something every single month (coincidentally, also a year with more consistent employment with manageable hours)

these last few months have been kinda rocky personally, but looking back im so happy with the progress i've made :')

#i made comics! a few of em!#and ppl liked them!#and SO MUCH ROGUE TRADER FANART LOL #and this is mostly just the art i made in my free time - professionally there's a whole bunch more #the goblin speaks

spotted a typo in the homoerotic biomancy comic, but that's for Future Goblin to fix lol

#nothing like uploading smth to finally make u spot these things lol #the goblin speaks

Craving on the Cellular Level

.... I just rlly wanted to try my hand at depicting what biomancy looks + feels like, and then I was thinking abt what kind of metaphysical weirdness could be going on with a psyker/psyker pairing. uh, I hope it translates!

#the goblin draws #rogue trader #heinrix van calox #heinrix romance #when u cant ask your crush out so you settle for fondling his organ meat every time he injures himself #but then he starts getting into it anyway #two psykers trying and failing to be normal abt each other #also happy holidays!!! this might be the last comic/pic i upload for 2025 omg #what a way to cap things off lol

Hi hi thank you again for your consistent involvement in Abelard Week, it truly means a lot!!!

awwwww, tysm! <3 it was a really fun week, and i think one or two of my fave pics of the year were actually made during it haha

#the goblin speaks #weekly challenges are so much more approachable then monthly #and ill take any excuse to draw a bunch of abelards lol

this... probably could be better presented or have more relevant info but at least his new outfit and psyker implant's figured out!

Ignis prioritizes both elegance and maneuverability, and he carries very little tech and equipment on his person (thats what abelard is for!) All those blue gems covering his armour help him direct and focus his pyromancy so he can self-immolate relatively 'safely'... his retinue learns to give him a wide berth in combat and pack fire-retardent ppe real quick tho

#the goblin draws #rogue trader #wh40k art #my everburning clown RT #he has to show up to every function looking and fighting like an elden ring character #and his personality can be summed up with 'a 40k character who thinks hes in a discworld novel'#its a mix of charming and unsettling for everyone on the ship

testing how 'easy' it is to redraw Ignis's new design in various poses + figuring out how to draw action in general. featuring a friendly sparring match with kibbles!

#got the wind knocked RIGHT outta my sails #i love action so much but drawing it????? where even to sTArt lol #esp casually like if someone aint standing around in a void its a whole ordeal 4 me #the goblin draws #wh40k #rogue trader #kibellah
