I am pretending to be an artist. I love old sci-fi, retro electronics, and other things like that. I will mostly post my scraps and drawings here. My Backloggd where I write a review for every game I finish: https://backloggd.com/u/Khvostik/

Another month has passed! March was crazy for me, but I have found time for creative output. I continue my efforts in painting, and hope I have improved a bit there and there. I am open to commissions, and you can expect me to draw for relatively cheaply on this level! #fantasy #satyr #elf

Finally, after many years, I was able to do a long-time dream - do a #HoMM 2 fanart #NoKings except Archibald Ironfist! Heil the TRUE king! #fantasy #fanart #illustration

For #RandomGameSaturday - a giant collector's box of King's Bounty The Legend (The Legend About Knight in home market) - when 1C got rights for KB from dead 3DO/NWC, they hired Katauri Interactive to make a new series of games. A great fairy tale #RPG adventure with #HoMM - style combat

I dug into our Amiga bigbox shelf for #RandomGameSaturday and came away with Supremacy: Your Will Be Done. Real time sci-fi 4X that was my first brush against anything like it.

Awesome thing that @backloggd.com added a proper interface to view all your entries at once To my account, I add only games I finished or fully replayed AFTER I created an account there, so this is a nice 100-game round number of titles I beat from late 2020 to mid-2021 to this day

Demo of my book begins with the draft of the first part of the first chapter. For now, in russian language, but I hope to have Ukrainian and Belarusian versions ready for the final test... at least Ukrainian. As well as my dream of releasing it primarily in the language of goat guys :p #satyr #lgbt

Another random idea. Attach support wheels to the legs that can be controlled by hoof movement and help at corners and turns. #satyr

Who wants to see an azkaï sunpriest who was shoved into demagnetisator work gear #elf #elfenjoyers

One day, I will be satisfied with my own work and will have enough damn time to actually draw this story in full

I don't know who they are already. One is something like David Bowie mixed with something Peruvian and Mesopotamian at this point, while the other one is a 29-ish-year-old Willem Dafoe mixed with Michael Jackson out of that Zombie clip and that guy from 80s Blob remake Tastes change with age, eh?

I guess an announcement of my next video, which I hope will be finished... till autumn. It will be a huge rant. I hope I will make English subtitles this time.

Les premières phrases me décrivent assez bien à l'époque de mon adolescence mdr Cela dit, cela aurait peut-être été utile, tout simplement, pour mieux survivre à la nuit polaire à l'époque où je vivais dans l'Arctique 🤔 (Joystick mars 2007) #retro #hardware

And now the 2nd guy

Trying to redesign the guy, making him more ~1998-ish in spirit and design, esp armor than his previous iteration, which felt more like mid-00s stuff

Just a drawing from the head, inspired in general by late-90s early-00s specific flavors of videogame #sci-fi designs. I have a very #Unreal -ish mood. Well, in general, the glidercore-era games' mood: their armor designs and weapons that look like some over-designed industrial equipment.

Wip of an "out of head" 90s sci-fi alien design. Maybe I will change some bits. Designing things, even by following existing styles is harder than it looks.

New big box game. Box is indeed big, however, since it is 2000 already, rather empty: a jewel case, some cards and a manual. They could've added a comicbook and a DVD with 2-3 #Voyager episodes. But as is, understandable why PC games moved to DVD cases. #StarTrek #Retrogaming

Another #StarTrek redesign One legacy thing that I would throw away from Trek is Transporter. It was just a high fantasy plot device that can do magic for whatever writer of the week needs it to be. I am more fascinated w/ concept of going out of phase for a short time-space and then blinking back.

Okay, warcrime bois are finished. In my current iteration of re-design and adoption of this silly helmet design from TNG to DS9-style uniforms, I decided to make it a "control helm", so Legat, who has a matrix-style port in head, could monitor tactical, etc #startrek #deepspacenine #fanart #scifi

(Work in Progress) Hey, out most evil boi in the quadrant becomes r-e-a-l #StarTrek #DeepSpaceNine #art #fanart

Khvostya@khvostya.bsky.social

Some #StarTrek #DS9 redesigns. If "characters should fit actors with makeup" was not a concern. But at the same time, materials and colors are more or less intact, with going into more "modern" #sci-fi. Except yeah, without pajamas in Starfleet, but with Elite Force Voyager's suit of Hazard team.

Another set of redesigns, now with more of a scene. In my head, Bajor has vibes of Halo CE beta/Outcast 1999/Unreal or some thing among these lines #StarTrek #DS9 #DeepSpace9 #fanart

Khvostya@khvostya.bsky.social

Okay, now a full set of Ferengi redesigns! With a crashed Cardassian drone as a bonus... Somehow, Nog ended up being very cute, actually 😊 My style for the federation is what I can describe only as "Voyager Maxxxing" #startrek #deepspace9

"Some #Ferengi Nonsense" episode time! With a height difference Their episodes in #TNG were horrible, but I took some minor ideas: power whip, stripe on sleeve, rank tattoo on head. Since there is 0 Ferengi armor, even for ship crews, I based this one on their ship design from TNG-ENT #StarTrek

La version originale de #StarCraft avait une traduction française et un doublage différents de la version remastérisée. Il n'existe aucune vidéo de la version originale sans commentaires sur YouTube. Je devrais peut-être en faire une, quand j'aurai envie de terminer le jeu à nouveau.

Default #DaggerfallUnity is not something I enjoy, but with enough effort, selected mods and change of settings in like five different places, you can assemble #Daggerfall "vanilla+" experience with look, feel, and flavor of mid-90s PC #RPG I love this set of mods for GUI, very-classic-CRPGish #TES

Mockup of my dream inventory for #Morrowind. Limited space in the backpack, additional bags you could find might increase it a bit. Belts of varied quality add from 4 to 10 to the hotkey belt menu; only items that you have on the belt you can use in combat. Armor you carry on yourself doesn't count.

Decided to expand it a bit, into a proper page of some sort, for more context or something, to give a proper view of my no-compromise vision. #Morrowind

Quick panel drawing Nerevarine/my character is taveling to Balmora with Darvame Hleran's caravan for the first time. I try to follow even more beta ideas/concept art in designs n stuff. #Morrowind
