If you want to avoid making these kinds of mistakes, you can find a bunch of archery art references in the store on my Patreon page.

If you need something specific (e.g. for a TTRPG rulebook or whatever), you could always commission one. Find me here

Le Gobbo, man at arms. He doesn't speak breton very well and looks a little funny, but as long as he can stand in a line, listen to orders, and swing a polearm his knightly lords don't care too much.

The reason I was not making any comics lately where these bretonnian boys, who took over my desk. I finally finished them and I love them, so here they are.

This morning there was a nation-wide text spam campaign targeting Black Americans (largely students) telling them that they’ve been selected to pick cotton and will be picked up to be sent to a plantation after Trump’s inauguration.

People online are making jokes about it, but it’s genuinely a disturbing sign. Someone was emboldened enough to intentionally run a background on thousands of young Black people and send them racist messages the day after a very exhausting and stressful election.

And if your favorite legion is alpha legion you’re going to need more string.

Some memes regarding my 'education' on the 'history of Warhammer 40K'.

I'm new to the franchise. I love it, but MAN, is it a lot!

This is Alpharius. Or Omegon. Or some dude who isn't Alpharius or Omegon. Nevermind. He has an important message!

It's getting hot and dry outside and you need to hydrate accordingly when you are out running. Or biking. Or hiking.

Because you will underestimate how much water you lose if there's wind that's drying your sweat.

That's not oddly specific at all.

Sons of Horus, a lot of them went insane at the end of the heresy. But after years ducking around I. The eye of terror, abbadon managed to reforge the legion, naming it the black legion, and destroying all trace of Horus. They are probably the most held together of all the traitor legions.

The way all legions that suffered the loss of their primarch were changed forever its something amusing that most people tend to focus solely on Blood Angels. But so did the others I believe.

Sanguinius' death marked BA with the black rage and tainted their ranks with Madness and fury.

The loss of Ferrus Manus also reached the mind and soul of the Iron Hands. Ruthless and calculating, they now feared and loathed weakness but they saw such weakness into themselves. We could say that they developed some kind of dysphoria and started mauling their bodies and taking extra risks just to get implants which, I cant recall where did I read it from, even members of the Mechanicus consider madness, for they are not improving their bodies (even the techpriest in that story says that no mechanical augmentation could par the finesse of the Emperor's design), they are just changing flesh for metal.

In the Alpha legion case I consider that at least one of their primarchs, either Alpharius, Omegon or one of them pretending to be the other, died on Pluto. From here onwards its just my own theory but I believe that this loss, though partial, translated into a fractured legion. No one could know who wants what, who is who and I believe not even each legionarie can grasps whether they are a soldier, Alpharius or many alphariuses. They are broken. But not enough to be entirely lost because maybe one of their primarchs is still around (and maybe as confused as them due to the now lost psychic link with their brother).

Finally, I don't have a strong opinion on Sons of Horus or Night Lords 'cause I have not read nor researched anything about them, but I believe It could also be applied due to the Psychic link each Primarch shares with their legion.

"It's dumb how we are suddenly told to go do companion quests so that they can focus on the mission" my dudes. That's mass effect 2. That's literally the plot of mass effect 2, you gather a team of unstable randos and then do team building exercises for 90% of the game. One of the most widely beloved bioware games btw. Dumb as fuck. Story is a total mess. You start the game by suddenly dying, then your character gets entirely rebuild and now you're working for terrorists for some reason. You fight bugmen who have never been relevant before and will never be relevant again. The final boss is a human reaper. Romance is 90% calibrations. Absolutely epic game. Works entirely on vibes.

You might hate it now, but trust me, in a year a two everyone will love Veilguard. I've seen it happen. You can screenshot this.

Then the heart of Éowyn changed, or else at last she understood it. And suddenly her winter passed, and the sun shone on her.

The hypocrisy and double standards are absolutely astounding.

Drivers trying to use their voice and platform to make a genuine difference in the lives of marginalised peoples and communities and for the greater good of society and humanity?? Not allowed

FIA president making an overtly political statement by congratulating a corrupt, racist, sexist, convicted sexual abuser and felon on his electoral victory?? Sure go right ahead

I’m so sorry we didn’t learn, George.
