Played some Darktide, scribbled some Maris because I missed her

I need to inflict her on someone

I wish these didn’t take me so long because I love drawing my friends’ characters acting so much

[pythosblathers]

Sketches from the past couple days. I’m slowwwwly honing in on a color palette and look I actually vibe with (picked directly off a green heron, to start with)

[pythosblathers]

Hello! I come with question. I'm relatively new to 40k, and got really interested in it, partly because of your drawings ngl. Its all daunting and i have my own list, but since it kinda started with you, i thought about asking if you'd recommend any existing work in this universe. I want to make some OCs just from what i've known/read, but i feel like I need to read so much more to even know where to start @A@

Hey! Yes, absolutely.

If you like books, there are soooo many to choose from, for anything you want to read about. They vary a ton in quality, but there are some real gems.

I recommend The Infinite and the Divine (Necrons), Honourbound (Imperial Guard), and Flesh and Steel (Imperium, “regular” people, also Adeptus Mechanicus). Everyone will recommend Eisenhorn or Cain, but I didn’t particularly like those so I won’t

If you prefer video games, Rogue Trader is pretty much the best setting intro you could ask for. They even have an in-game glossary for lore references. Plus, the writing is great and it’s amazing for generating OC thoughts!

And my beloved Darktide, if you enjoy a shooter. Maybe not the best setting intro, but so good for getting immersed in the atmosphere.

Also tons of amazing artists around on tumblr!

They’re learning so much from each other already

Don't think I ever posted this but it sits in my files making me laugh whenever I look at it so. Diagram for how to talk to tall people.

incredibly pleased that everyone is following the instructions i forgot to give and reblogging to explain their choice in the tags 🙏 more of that please i want to know about your ocs and also i love you

[pythosblathers]

Listening through some character playlists while I work, and this one still consistently makes me insane. I've got a little collection of songs I associate with Maris and her sister and they all make me kinda feral

[perkyshelley]

chose a hill but i won't die on it. feel free to come and be killed on my hill

[pythosblathers]

Pavi Elder Scrolls AU outfit thoughts from my lunch break. She’s a Bosmer. She’s looking for loopholes in the Green Pact so she can smoke a bowl and eat carbs (half joking)

They have so little interesting lore compared to everyone else, but the little bits I do like are VERY GOOD and I am stubborn. They also have fuckall interesting clothing, so as usual I have to do everything myself

Mostly Scythian inspired here. I’ve got a few more ideas to try, but anything to escape the generic ren faire wood elf look they’re stuck with

[pythosblathers]

The scheming and it's about to be everyone's problem sisters

(also still playing with brushes on my lunch break)

[osteophagy]

Been playing with new brushes, grabbed my friends' vintage story charcters for further analysis.

Mauve colored one (Skein,) the blonde thing (Bonaventure,) and the shepherd are mine.

This is only half the tools she probably carries around but you know how it is, Clockmakers
