She is waiting. Just a quick paint practice/lighting study.

They are waiting for your Gordon, in the bed chamberrr. But yes finally finished after lots of procrastination and anxiety.

My own rendition of the Valbaran Tzcuaht'li aerospace fighter providing CAS over Kerguela. I wanted something more supersonic: The YF-23 was a major influence. The pilots are rather angry; their emotions shine through their suits and their craft's color screens, a particularly Valbaran technology.

A Commando and her flock patrol a high-latitude forest during training on Valbara. Post-invasion, she wields a Human XMR SMG and sports a new camouflage. References and camo from @mrdeevee.bsky.social Valbarans are a part of the Pinwheel Universe by @snekguystories.bsky.social

Another Anput render! This took far longer as I built most things by hand, relying less on direct references. I spent a lot of time on small details instead of broad strokes but it came out well, I think. I shall return to Valbarans for my next post, worry not!

Something not Valb themed: My own interpretation of the goddess Anput, using a screenshot as a direct reference. This started out as a paint study; I was only going to paint her face but it quickly grew in scope, however. I color-picked too much perhaps but overall, I learned a lot.

A somewhat quick doodle. I was going to color and render as practice but my SSD crashed. I lost all of my .CSP files, including this one. Thankfully I could edit and shade over the .png of it.

It took me some time to finish this one, a very fluffy Masi'sem'atika. I tried more painting brushes, though rendering more than anything else.

Valbarans have been unleashed upon the galaxy. Something I meant to do in October; I should really practice more.

Something different today; a Valbaran Goddess of warfare and renewal/husband-taking (after conquering an enemy). Valbarans were not always so unified. Tochimatl'tin. "Blood-Flower Feather" No color with this though I experimented with hatching to mixed results, I think.

Outbound Flight. A three-ship flight of Tzcuaht'li bombers take off near dawn for a training flight. The premier Consensus air/space attack craft, the Tzcuaht'li (Obsidian Raptor) was designed for rapid, stealthy strikes.

I should have posted this first but clothes are an addition. (Her flock is still behind you)

Hiding from a Valb flock is easier said than done. Just something spontaneous and fun.

A Valbaran flock and their Cozat'li, Autumn War Campaign. A UNN Marine shares his MRE. This took quite a while but I am happy with it. Thanks to @mrdeevee.bsky.social for help and inspiration. Valbarans are a part of the Pinwheel series of novels by @snekguystories.bsky.social

A seasoned Valbaran hunter rests in front of a dense forest. I wanted to explore what an ancient, tribal Valbaran would be like. Sorta like Neolithic culture to us. Body paints and dyes (chalk and red ochre) would be within the realm of reason for them.

Just a Valbaran taking a break at the office, content on her high up walkway perch. Valbarans are a part of the Pinwheel Series of novels by Snekguy Stories.

An example of my Valbaran artwork, more to come!
