Still cant believe my work got selected for the Tennocon community art showcase🥹

I am so happy!

Unfortunately, i won't be able to attend myself, as I am from Europe. If anyone reading this is attending or knows someone who is, would you mind taking a picture of my art on display so I can see? I would be forever grateful!🙏🏻

Roathe Prints Available!

I have been getting some DM's asking about prints, so I thought I'd make a post with a link! Prints are available of our favourite blueberry devil~ You can get them through my Ko-fi: HERE or through the link in my bio!

Thanks to everyone who supported the original post<3 I was so surprised by the huge amount of love it got! I am cooking up some more warframe art in the meantime

Quick Marazhai sketch I made whilst waiting for my coffee to finish.

I just love eldar face shapes, I think I'll continue making a couple of practice sketches before committing to a full painting!

[manuzillust]

So I finished the Path of the Renegade!

*Obviously, spoilers in the text below!*

First thought: Wow!

I did not expect liking this one this much when I started reading! For context, this is my first ever Warhammer 40k book and I am currently in act 3 in Rogue Trader, so perfect timing to finish this book!

Drukhari are wild😂 obvious statement. I think that is also what made me enjoy this book a lot, their culture is so different than ours, it's difficult to expect how characters are going to act. I found it refreshing to read. There were multiple moments in the book that had me: "HUH!? I did NOT see that coming!"

What I also rather enjoyed is that within a vacuum, all these characters are pretty antagonistic, I mean, they tortute, betray, manipulate, but within the context of the story I couldn't help but root for certain characters.

Is it weird I really ended up liking Yllithian?😂 I also heavily enjoyed when the group of 'servants' went out on their missions on Yllithians Behest.

It is for this exact reason, the final chapters had me STRESSED. I am glad that all my favorites survived (i think?..... i hope😂)

And the final sentence!? How dare they? I must immediately buy the ebook now to continue, so I shall!

All in all, I really enjoyed it! Would recommend it, and I am super excited to read the other 2.

(Also, side question: Is there a canon look for Yllithian? I found one piece of art on the wiki, but when traced back to the original poster, I could not find Yllithians' name in the original post anywhere. Do I have complete free reigns on how I want to paint him???? Asking for a friend👀)

*Rogue Trader Act 3 Spoiler*

So I just got to Commorragh, and I love how after you get tortured and thrown in a pile of corpses, you can go: "I could really use a cup of coffee rn"-

What a beautiful game

- more thoughts-

I finally got to Marzipan as well, and I have to say reading the Dark Eldar trilogy at the same time is really giving insight into Drukhari culture (i.e. backstabbing) and that letting him walk to the arena would be insulting. But you know, I am big on role play. I know that, but my RT DOESN'T. I am curious to see how dialogues will go when i recruit him😂

And who is the jester-esque masked person. They have charmed me with their speech in prose.

Sadly, my binging session was interrupted by a huge storm yesterday, so I'll continue later today! Absolutely loving this game so far!

Styanax prime rng hates me

[manuzillust]

Currently, 4 chapters into the path of the Renegade. Some context, this is the first warhammer 40k book im reading. Bought it after starting Rogue trader for a certain murder elf.

First thoughts:

I knew Drukharis were wild, but reading this, their lore is WILD😂 What is also interesting is that the main character would be considered 'evil' from a human morality perspective yet whithin the context of this story (and his society) I can't help but root for his little coup (Go Kylie Go).

I mainly use Tumblr to post my art, but I don't really have another place I can use as an outlet for my thoughts on certain media. I would love to be able to discuss these warhammer books with other fans!

Pasqal has stolen my heart, but if I can't romance, I'll just have to make art ig!

[manuzillust]

Painting update! I finished the sketch and made a value map. This is going to take a while to finish, would you guys like to see more progress updates in the meantime?

So I started reading Path of the Renegade 👀 its intriguing so far! Ill update my thoughts on it when I'm a bit further through the book!

[manuzillust]

Pasqal has stolen my heart, but if I can't romance, I'll just have to make art ig!

[manuzillust]

I never posted him here!

I went into origins completely blind on the romance options, but I was quickly swept off my feet by his antivan rizz, eventho I miss out on 80% of loot....

I will admit I haven't finished Origins yet because I'm stupid, and I just dont get the combat😭

Story wise, it was amazing, so I definitely will finish it. I currently have arrived at the deep roads!

Warframe threw a wrench in all my rpg plans🙈 I've been so obsessed with it I stopped playing all my other games, but I'm getting back to the games I started and never finished!

[manuzillust]

Okay so at first I wasn't really feeling Heinrix all that much, but tell me, why did he suddenly became a 100% more interesting when I found out he was old😂

My rogue trader causes him stress, and I think thats beautiful.

Heinrix, when I bring back a xeno to the ship:

I was seduced into buying this game with Marazhai, but I'm enjoying stressing this old man out a bit too much. We shall see~

My entry for the tennocon 2026 community art showcase!

I am so happy I managed to finish this one in time🫡 it is definitely one of the most detailed paintings I have made so far.

It is safe to say this game has taken over my life. I started playing somewhat recently, but I have been absolutely loving it.

I am super excited to participate in my first warframe related contest, this community has been absolutely amazing♡

I hope you guys like my take on reaching rank 5 with the entrati family.

[manuzillust]

Guess what game i started playing✨️

So technically, I haven't met him in the game yet, but I am a creature of habits to I know he'll probably be the one ill romance🫡 i know absolutely nothing about warhammer 40k but thats changing, i already have books on the way! Warhammer fans drop a comment, I'd love to meet more fans 🥹

Decided to use marazhai for a quick study today

I haven't been online much, i have been painting A LOT. Unfortunately, it's all stuff for zines and contests, so i can't show them YET. But be prepared for a bunch of BG3, Dragon Age, and Warframe paintings🥰

[manuzillust]

I dont know what possesed me to start painting a full entrati fam oilpaint styled digital painting for the tennocon art contest 2 weeks before the deadline but..... here we are😅

Don't know if I will finish it in time, but an entrati fam dinner painting will be made into existence. Id say im currently about 50% through!

I'm not sure if posting work in progress is against the rules or not, so I'll withold posting them for now, but I'm too excited about the idea not to post anything about it!

Kermerros Entrati drawing progress~

I may forget to film my process 90% of the time, but for this painting at least, I took bad fotos, so I thought it might be interesting to share my mess of a 'process' :)

I should get in the habit of taking actual screenshots instead, I'll try to remember.

I talk a bit about my process underneath the pictures

So I tend to start in greyscale, especially if I don't have a clear idea of where to go yet. I mostly start by putting down veeery messy shapes to get a gist of the value. From there, I start adding details slowly. Sometimes, I do them more broadly, and other times, such as in this case, I tend to focus on a small area at a time and expand from there. When I started painting the vulpaphyla, I decided I needed some extra contrast from the lil critter, so I decided to color son's skin first. I color grayscale using various layer modes. Let me know if anyone is interested in a tutorial!

Then I went about the vulpaphyle and the background in a similar way. Honestly, my method is pretty haphazard, but I felt for this particular piece it was worse than usual cause I simply had no idea where I wanted to go with it exactly. But I love how it turned out! Would you guys like to see process screens more often?

Kermerros Entrati

Made during quiet hours at a convention. I might work this out digitally! I think hes officially my favorite npc. Love it when he calls me shiny thing😩

Let us give him kisses DE😔

Anyways- I just finished the hex quest! Now im grinding standing before I go on to the old peace.

As I started this game for Roathe to begin with I'm VERY excited✨️✨️✨️

Roathe or not, I am absolutely loving this game and community for real♡

[manuzillust]

He has stolen my heart, I'm afraid. Now excuse me while I'm off to deimos to catch some goopy babies so I can hear him talk~

Me when unromanceable npc's🥰

This time, kermerros (son) from warframe. Have been spending a lot of time on deimos trying to up my standing, and he really grew on me. His autism conservationists' rizz was very effective. The vulpaphyla was tricky to paint! But I like how it turned out!

This game has been taking over my brain. Just finished the new war, and I'm 😭 how is this game free?
