Aerisian Nanobots - Blender - 2026
Early Blender blockouts for the KOATR nanobots, based on their function as neural pathway architects: scouts, pruners, builders, bridgers, and regulators. These are not final story art yet, but shape studies for the tiny machines hidden inside Aerisian medicine, sold to the public as care. Quietly, they teach the brain where to grow, what to strengthen, and what to cut away.
Nanobots in KOATR
Android Doctor administering nanobot spray - Digital - 2026
Nanobots play a central role in King of All the Rust, serving as both blessing and curse to those who receive them.
Publicly, they are hidden inside routine medical care. Privately, they are part of a secretive program designed to shape the minds of Aerisian citizens from birth.
Their primary purpose is to keep higher understanding of the wormhole out of public reach. Their secondary purpose is regulation: guiding intelligence, limiting dangerous curiosity, reinforcing social order, and stratifying the population.
In KOATR, the nanobots build pathways, cut pathways, and help decide which thoughts are allowed to grow.
But with this regulation comes stagnation, and innovation is salvation for the rulers of Aeris.
Enter the Wildcard
Wildcard nanobot pruning neural pathway - Digital - 2026
Unlike standard nanobots, wildcard variants do not suppress dangerous thought. Instead, wildcards seek out the recipient’s strongest areas of interest, curiosity, talent, dream, or obsession, then magnify them.
To the rulers of Aeris, they are a necessary risk. The wildcard nanobot variants, administered "randomly" among the popuplation, are a way to restart invention in a civilization made too obedient to grow on its own.

Inktober 2024 Day 1: Backpack
I started off this Inktober strong with an illustration of Dolgon, the party's tank and pack mule.
Here’s some conceptual behind the scenes from @haemoart’s latest post!
We have once again united to gift another wonderful friend, who we have the honor to say is also legitimately considered a very wise mentor for us both ✧
For further context, @/wes.inpeace is an exceptionally skilled artist who’s notably passionate about geometric shapes, semiotics, tarot, mages and so much more; all of which shaped each of our ideas and decisions while making this homage to him, the one and only hermit of our friend group 🕯️ ✨
You can check out the finished result of this sketch on my partner in crime Haemo’s platforms, as he was the one who made the exquisite linework to complete this piece!
