Trenchpunk - Bomi Warrior Tatreez, cedar of Lebanon, olives and dates. Fire is based on Islamic art.

She leans on a column from the ruins of her ancestors, while they had to leave their heartlands they now live near the cedars in the mountains. But they are always connected to the olive and date orchards of their ancestors and display it in design motifs.

The sword is based on the Algerian Nimcha. The essence of her ancestors empowers the blade.

Bomi tribeswoman Still mashing out what I want the Bomi tribes to look like. Bomi weapons are ancestral, crafted and maintained to a very high standard, carved and painted. They contain the spirits and will of their ancestors, the trigger can not be pulled if a non-Bomi tries to fire it. Captured rifles are a feature Derenah Empire museums, they can't use the weapons, but they just assume they're poorly crafted.

Levantine tatreez, Yemeni jambiya.

Heavy handed but oh well

Trenchpunk - Bomi Tribeswomen

They lean on the ancient ruins of their people. The mountains they live are the final piece of land that they have under their dominion that is free. All that remains of their ancient culture.

Traditional and looted weapons from defeated Derenah forces. Though a mysterious benefactor is also supplying them with arms... When within their mountainous home, the Bomi peoples are unparalleled, it is when they try to descend to the foothills that it becomes bloody. Their heartland is far away within the Derenah Empire.

The Fay Enchantress from Warhammer Fantasy

My favourite tw warhammer playthrough.

I thought I'd give the tower of the enchantress a spin at designing. I had this idea that it exists in a hidden plane. I gave it a less traditional, more otherworldly look. A bit crazy a bit too big for one person.

The flowers are Downy Gentian. Gentians are one of my favourite flowers.

Tony Angel - Purple Dream Tour. Most performers use some degree of AI in order to formulate the "perfect" beat to go along with their vocals. Tony is one of the few that doesn't, still uses a real backup band, and completely raw vocals. This naturally gives him a chip on his shoulder, a superiority complex, a snob, the self proclaimed "hardest working man in RnB".

It puts him at odds with a lot of people in the industry, performers, and the companies who make the AI. He's gaining popularity and the wrong people are taking notice.

It's a good thing then, that when he's not focusing on music, he's a mask-wearing vigilante that pours almost all his earnings into the tech for fighting back

Anthony Eugene Angelo aka Tony Angel

my RnB star OC I've been workshopping for quite some time! He secretly fights the bad guys when he's not performing.

Skin scanned very red, and the pink faded away, so I included a phone picture to show what it really looks like :S

wanted to share this petition which has been started in canada urging the federal government to protect canadian citizens access to gender affirming care

this comes after the alberta provincial government recently used the notwithstanding clause to push forward legislation banning gender affirming care for minors, along with other bills targeted primarily at trans youth.

if this passes 500 signatures it will be brought to the house of commons so i urge you to sign only if you are a resident of canada! (you will need to provide a postal code when signing)

also make sure if you do sign to check your email you submitted afterwards to confirm your signature because it will not count otherwise!!

if you don’t live in canada please just spread this around, get the word out where people who can sign it can see it!

There’s another one going around that is similar but different! This one is e-7005, but another that’s been shared around here on tumblr is e-7027.

If you’ve already signed a petition on this issue recently, double check which one!

[weirdgirl247]

yes!!! e-7027 and e-7005 are both petitions going around rn calling for the federal government to take action against anti-trans legislation but they’re both taking different approaches.

e-7027 is asking the federal government to use section 90 of our charter and evoke a disallowance clause (which has not been used since 1943) that would overpower the alberta governments use of the notwithstanding clause.

e-7005 (the petition in my original post) is asking for the federal government to rule that access to trans healthcare is a human right based on the evidence and testimony from multiple reputable health organizations. specifically mirroring how in 2000 the alberta government used the notwithstanding clause to rule that marriage is between a man and a woman, which was overruled by the federal government enshrining marriage equality in 2005.

the distinction between both petitions is important to note but i would suggest (if you’re eligible) signing both petitions to ensure the federal government can hear how much action like this is needed. you can sign e-7027 here!

Trenchpunk - Heaven and Hell concepts I had the idea I'm workshopping of Heavenly Hosts looking less human, large golden eyes and a bit pale, maybe unnerving in appearance.

I also wanted to showcase the mutated appearance of denizens of the Hells. I really like the bottom left guy. Ugly but goofy is fun. There are more handsome beings but they are few.

The middle is an Angel, the second-most powerful being of the Heavenly Hosts beneath Celestial Beasts.

Trenchpunk - Trophy Technology is only one factor in warfare, but by far the most powerful weapon is righteousness.

Bomi tribesmen pose in front of a Derenah Empire mech. The rough terrain is not suited at all for these walkers despite the terror they cause, they fall over quite easily if the terrain isn't flat.

Inspired by the technological advances and failures of WW1 that continue to this day, as well as the bravery of insurgencies.

Candy is an ultimate earworm for me, I listen to a lot of Cameo when I need to get into the mood for cyberpunk. So I painted Cyberpunk Larry Blackmon.

Also my cyberpunk OC is based a lot on Larry.
