A zedconian DiTCH marches along through the endless antarctic blizzard.
These machines are built very robust to endure the conditions.

ZEDCON DiTCH [Diverse Terrain Container Handler] These giant bipedal machines weigh hundreds of tons and are powered by a single ZIEC 471 liter 2 stroke diesel powerplant making 18,900 shaft horsepower at 1,100 rpm. This particular one seems to be giving chase.

Without proper weapons, the zedconians had to get creative with their defense. Here, a DiTCH is used to fling inter-modal containers of hazardous industrial chemicals.

Improvised combat using industrial equipment is a concept I really like.

A large reptilian 'thrall' rests on a bed of wormlike creatures in a heavy industrial train carriage. The desolate landscape behind is overshadowed by the looming hulks of broken down bio-machines. -- Mining in Savic territory is highly regulated, but the badlands surrounding the South Front are not. Some antique rail lines are intact, if dangerous, allowing miners to move south. The booming trade along these lines is known as the Worm Rail, and their methods are illegal in the interior. Worming is a rapid, low cost and highly effective method of extracting ore. Enormous, magically engineered worms are released in ore-rich soil. From there they burrow into the surrounding rock. Their digestive systems refine ore as they move, gradually filling their expandable bodies. At full capacity the worms reach almost half a mile in length, growing lethargic as their short lifespan draws to an end. At this point the miners return. They summon worms to a collection point using either small explosive charges or deafening tonal blasts from the train itself. When the worms reach the surface, workers load them into the train as they quietly expire. Their bodies can then be processed at factories in Savic industrial centers. Worming can be relatively environmentally friendly, when the number of worms are limited. Unsurprisingly, though, nobody is limiting worm numbers. Landslides and sinkholes are commonplace in worm-mined land. In some cases rivers have been diverted through underground channels, causing regional droughts. Thralls are often employed on the Worm Rail as guards against frequent inter-corporate robberies. Or as the robbers themselves. As long as a worm load arrives at a port, it will be sold with few questions asked. What happens on the Front stays on the Front!

my piece for the "Show Me Your Core" zine. the illustration is majorly colored with bright limes and dark teals and blues. it depicts Mateo sitting on the dirty ground of an alleyway, alongside empty bottles, trash, and a dumpster. in the background, the alleyway opens up into a raging green fire, and in the foreground sits Mateo, illuminated the the light of an open door. Mateo is a scrappy looking robot wearing a denim jacket, defined by his yellow paintjob and utilitarian cube-shaped head. he looks nervous or bashful, sweating and slightly covering his face from the bright light and the viewer.

you shouldnt be here.

Hieroglyphics with translation texts below them that reads I made my body evolve through my own effectiveness. I am the one who made me. I built myself as I wished, according to my heart.

Just reminded myself how hard the ending of Coffin Text Spell 714 goes

a set of headshots depicting eX (a four-eyed insectoid alien) showcasing various expressions (angry, sad, laughing, et cetera) and how their mandibles' positions change based on the emotion. flavor text reads "In most situations, eX is calm, calculating, and unemotive. They communicate with a soft-spoken, acerbic precision. However, this mask does drop from time to time."

a reference sheet including multiple views and diagrams all depicting eX, a 7 foot tall bug alien with four green eyes, four green mandibles, cream-colored neck fur, dark carapace, two digitigrade legs, two regular-sized arms, a pair of smaller arms which fold up into the chest when not in use, somewhat birdlike feet, and a small bug abdomen connected to their tailbone. some flavor text reads "eX is an insectoid alien with a genius-level intellect and a god complex. They believe that power belongs in the most capable hands, and that the most capable hands are their own. Their technology undoubtedly benefits the worlds they spread it to... while also generating more resources and wealth for them to wield against anybody who might stand in their way." Another aside reads "Because their species has no gender binary, they see themselves as neither male nor female, using gender-neutral pronouns to refer to themselves. They do not discuss their reproductive biology."

new-ish reference for eX!

A digital painted portrait of a monster with many thick tendrils around its face, its mouth open to reveal sharp teeth and a multitude of tentacled tongues. Its smooth skin drips with a clear slime.

finally got done cooking this guy but he's still wet in the middle :/

Artists! Quote with your most detailed art! ✨

I sometimes tell myself that I'll spend only a week on the artwork and end up keeping adding details for a whole month (literally what happened with the second artwork xD)

Pocket the Street Alchemist is doing numbers over on Tumblr for some reason, so here you go Bluesky! I hope you enjoy this dumb moment from a lil weirdo NPC I introduced in my D&D campaign a while back!
