This was an immensely fun and challenging piece to figure out and I’m quite proud of how it ended up. It took quite a bit of brainstorming to capture such a kinetic moment in a single point of time. I drew upon all of my experiences and influences to navigate this composition. 90s mecha OVAs and Armored Core CG intros were played on loop many times.

Before it was identified, Union boots on the ground called the Vestan armored bruiser that led their formations the Bullfrog. A combo of its shield and leg mounted hover jets make it a nasty close range bully.
The Bullfrog belongs to the Vestan Sovereignty, an antagonistic faction in the Solstice rain supplement. They’re a familiar story. An authoritarian nation on the verge of loosening up only for the militant reactionaries to tighten their grip again. Union’s arrival on Cressidium serves as the perfect catalyst to reignite old dreams of conquest.
Every GM needs its Zaku to be locked in eternal struggle with. I imagine in universe, armchair generals and rivet counters will argue about the respective qualities of the [G] Type Everest and Bullfrog during the Cressidium conflict for years to come.
I designed the Bullfrog in concert with my Everest variant. Whereas I looked at Gundam and Armored Core for the [G] Type, I prayed at the altar of Kazuhisa Kondo for the Bullfrog. I have always wanted to design a Kondo-inspired absolute unit.
Giant armored skirt and shoulders to give it a brutish, imposing physical profile. These types of chunky forms give it both a sense of mass but also reflect the Vestan’s desire to punish and impose its will on others. It’s not merely enough to occupy the space, it must make everyone around it uncomfortable and vulnerable. Again, a bully.

Meet the new neighbors.

UNION PATTERN EVEREST [G][K] TYPE.

Deployed in limited numbers, these upgraded veteran units were pivotal in the Cressidium Conflict. Special version of art I did for the upcoming Lancer RPG supplement, Operation Winter Scar by Kai Tave.

I’ve decided to go full 90s anime poster maximalist with this one. Was inspired by the kind of illustration and layout you might see in the strategy guide or loading screen of a PS1 era mecha game.

As I continue my attempt to rediscover my enjoyment of art, my Lancer OC Val serves admirably as my art comfort food. Head empty, draw OC.

My #LancerRPG GMS Everest for their upcoming supplement Solstice Rain. I’ve always loved all manner of grunts in #mecha and don’t know if they realized how much I relished the opportunity.
[G] Type Everests are built to easily swap equipment in record time, affording them a great deal of tactical flexibility. [G] Types were deployed by Union forces during Operation Solstice Rain where their rapid deployment avoided a worst case scenario for the city of Nov Elysia.
I had a lot of fun drawing from all of my favorite sources to design a quintessential Lancer grunt mech. For my interepretation of the GMS Everest, I wanted to design something that felt solid, but not rugged, if that makes sense to anyone but me. To compare to other works, I thought of designs like Gundam’s GM and Jegan lineages, or certain designs from the Armored Core and Front Mission franchises. Designs that felt true to the essence of the mech as a military machine.
I do want to be clear, I don’t intend for my interpretation of the GMS Everest to be the “canon” depiction, nor should it invalidate the many fantastic renditions of it I’ve seen from Lancer’s fanbase. I hope my [G] Type Everest will contribute to the fabric of Lancer as a whole though, and that some of you will think of mine when you imagine it on the table.

I like what CSP offers but at the moment I’m struggling to find the motivation to do art and the prospect of mastering an entirely new art program is just enough of a hurdle to discourage me. It doesn’t help that for all of its strengths, there are a couple key aspects of the program that don’t gel well with my current process in photoshop. I do want to return to it proper some day but maybe when I have the energy to wrestle with it.

Forgot to post it here but I want to get the word out everywhere.

If you haven’t already heard, mecha ttrpg Lancer is going to be back in print soon AND you can get a special version with cover art by yours truly. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say I’ve given everything I am as a mecha fan to this one, I hope you all dig it as much as I do.

I’m not up to date on the specifics but check in with Lancer’s official accounts to get more info on when you can get your hands on it.

I’ve actually written a fair bit for her, almost as much as I have for Val. But Val just meshes with my general sensibilities more often which leads to her getting a lot more representation than my other Lancer OCs.

Needed to do some concept sketching for a Lancer illustration. As usual, the completionist designer in me insisted on drawing the character in full despite the fact she’ll only be seen from behind in the final piece. This wouldn’t be the first and it probably won’t be the last.

Marigold is one of Smith Shimano’s premier test pilots and has years of experience putting various untested and dangerous prototypes through their paces.
Her flighty, laidback attitude belies a thrill seeking daredevil. Marigold has a tendency to bring her machines back in dreadful condition, to the consternation of the rest of her team. However the truth is evident; Marigold can draw out the latent potential of any frame.
She’ll always find the last 10% that no one else can. She can fight harder, faster, and better in the exact same machine than anyone else. Perfect for testing the absolute limits of SSC’s latest designs. Whether it comes back in one piece is another matter though.

Unfinished sketch of my lancer OC Mack. Would like to draw her more but been busy with other work lately. I usually draw her in armor which means nobody gets to see the results of her training.
