Graphic Thread

Hey guys! First post here in what feels like it might be years, lol, but I've been getting into pixelart recently and wanted to share something I made.

This is just a quick little spaceship design from an ASB near-future space western world, with more than a little inspiration for the "racer" variant designs being taken from Yugioh 5Ds of all places. The Esper-06FAL is one of the more recent Falcon-class spacefaring ships manufactured and employed by the Kasekesai Company, an independent megacorporation that controls a monopoly over most of Mars' resources and one of the strongest powers in the Triangle of Man. The POD is Operation Unthinkable gone hot, which led to more common use of nuclear weapons and, less importantly, less direct American control over Japan, and therefore a less Americanized post-WWII Japan in a lot of ways— even though "capital fever" still swept through the country as it recovered. Its economy boomed to the point that it grew its own economic sphere and became the economic juggernaut OTL's 90s feared. Kasekesai Co. is the end result of their extraterrestrial ambitions of the mid-21st century, given full autonomy after Earth's nuclear collapse. Since Japan was in close partnership with Oceania in its economic sphere, around half of Kasekesai Co.'s population is Australian and Kiwi, and its culture is a mix of Anglo Oceanic culture, Japanese culture, and a bit of wealthy SanFran refugees thrown in for good measure.

Known for its state-of-the-art retractable swivelgun (yes, those are conventional bullets), swift maneuverability in dogfights, and ability to switch between in-atmosphere and out-of-atmosphere flight with ease using its special retractable "dragonfly" wings, the Esper-06FAL is a state-of-the-art choice for anyone in the business of flying. While Kasekesai craft are only manufactured in one style and color, and private modification is generally frowned upon in "civilized" society, atmospheric rimracers (example in pink) and particularly well-to-do pirates (example in yellow) often do extensively modify their craft to fit their particular needs and stylistic desires.

Let me know what y'all think, and if you have any tips for improving my style, or if you'd like to see more from this world! I'm just getting started with both, after all :)

Your work is really well done, even if we feel confused by the shape of the vehicles (especially the one on the left, it looks like a knight seen from the front).
I'm starting to do pixelart too and I wish I had a tenth of your talent...
 
Here's some more minimalistic art I made for Bleach and Gintama. What do you guys think? I also posted this on my Deviantart page if you guys are interested.

Here's some minimalistic art I made of Old Man Zangetsu from Bleach. He's essentially a manifestation of Ichigo's Quincy powers, and as such he looks like a younger version of Ywach: the Father of all Quincies.

Some minimalistic Art I made of Takasugi Shinsuke from Gintama. He's a major antagonist and later anti-hero of the series. He's honestly one of my favorite characters from the anime and is based off the real life historical figure: Takasugi Shinsaku as are many of the main characters from Gintama.​

Work I started a few days ago (inspired by "microhero template" on Deviantart).
When I'll finish it I'll make a description about this creature. I'm thinking about a way to make an armor for him, do you have ideas or models to advise me ?
If you have any other comments, I'll be happy to answer them.

Sketch of a lower-class Haussmann apartment in 1965. Since the German victory during WW2, a lot has changed. Paris was voluntarily depopulated under the Pétain goverment, and then turned into a sort of luxury tourist destination by the Maurras government under mayor Le Corbusier. Amid the flats refurbished as hotels and the fancy residences for high rank collaborators and German officers, you find those miserable flats where five to eight retail workers, waiters and maids share dilapidated apartments. This is one of them, a drawing of a former living room turned into a bedroom for two of those lower class people.


(If this isn't the right place just tell me and I'll take it down)

Here's some minimalistic vector art I made of Grimmjow Jeagerjaquez the Sexta Espada. He's an antagonist from Bleach.

Here's a minimalistic vector art wallpaper I made featuring Lelouch from Code Geass. As you can see here he's holding his Zero Mask.

Some minimalistic art I made of Kisuke Urarhara a character from Bleach.
Here's some more minimalist artworks I've made over the last few weeks. What do you guys think?
I've also got a Deviantart page where I posted this and other art I've made if you guys are interested.

Still working on it (there's a whole other language family that's relatively disconnnected from these, but still exists in the same world, and the Elven languages still don't have dates tabbed yet, though they are broadly similar to some of the dwarven ones).

A relationship tree of the languages of the western and southern parts of the continent of Ovaicaea (a fantasy setting my wife created and I've helped her develop-- you've probably seen some maps of it in the Map Thread). Black lines indicate direct descent, dashed black lines indicate broken or fragmentary descent, and red lines indicate significant exterior influence from one language (family) to another. For instance, due to the dominant influence of High Elves in matters of law and literature, the Soltran tongue (old, vulgar, and otherwise) has exerted a pervasive influence of many other languages near and far.

Each language is also denoted with an OTL language that it would be transcribed with in "translation convention" for the sake of any readers. Like, elven in all likelihood isn't literally Medieval Italian, but sake of understanding it is represented by Medieval Italian.
Also next to them are dates; BE = Before the Empire, IA = Imperial Age/imperialis anno. In Western Ovaicaea, this is the conventional dating pattern, anchoring things to the foundation of the first Empire of the West.

It was long conjectured that Elven and Gnomish languages, while related, arose independently of the Dwarven and Ucralic human languages, which were themselves distinct from the languages of Gestrin and Aendrilad. However, careful study has shown not just a relationship between the dwarven and all Aendro-Ucralic languages, it demonstrates a common root from which the Elven languages also sprang-- implying that the surviving Elven and Gnomish dialects emerged only after contact with humanity, and did not significantly precede them. Given that the Elves arose autochtonously from northern Ovaicaea, and the humans were late arrivals only 13,000 years ago, this has put to rest many Elven claims of cultural superiority. Riots occurred outside the offices of the Imperial Language Institute, but the science was clear: humanity had a transformative effect on the native peoples of Ovaicaea, perhaps much earlier than previously believed...

Inspired by the famous work "Geming Jun" (the Revolutionary Army) written by Han Chinese nationalist and revolutionary Zou Rong. I think his theory is very interesting as Euranianism-like but ignored for a long time. In this book, he put forward that the so-called "Chinese nation contains three ethnic groups: (1) the Han people, including Han Chinese, Korean and Japanese; (2) the Tibetan people; (3) the Cochinchinese people, including various of ethnic groups living in Southwest China and Mainland Southeast Asia. The nation-state of Chinese people was called "the Chinese Republic"(中华共和国; Zhonghua Gongheguo) which will be a presidential constitutional republic.
