2021-04-05 baby daggerfly
A lizard meets a baby daggerfly.
Daggerflies are ambush predators with radial wings and a pointed body. They hover at high altitude, using specialized eyes to scan the ground underneath them. When something is detected, daggerflies drop onto, and impale their prey. Whatever they pin down is digested in place, u... 2021-04-10 15:16:42 +0000 UTC View Post

recent inactivity
Dear Patrons,
I have been very sporadic about keeping this Patreon updated, and I am behind on offering backer rewards. As a result, I will be pausing Patreon for at least a month while I build up a buffer of things to post, and fulfill overdue backer rewards.
I will still be posting art, but billing is suspende...
lizard meets a fragment of a management engine in the ruins
A pale, glowing worm beckons. It's leading the artificer to something, a complicated chunk of ceramic in the middle of a cavernous, open space.
Has a living management engine dispatched part of itself to guide the artificer, to show it something of interest?
Or is this the neural fragments of a dea... 2021-02-28 06:46:14 +0000 UTC View Post

2021-02-10 depths of Duhr
While the walls of Duhr are stone and ceramic, the buildings aren't. It's an ancient, layered wooden city. The upper stories have a new, freshly-milled look and feel. The lower stories are deep, dark, and mossy. Rather than being cramped, Duhr actually opens up in its lower areas. Shaded waterways and moss-covered courtyard...

a small party on the roof
While Family culture has its fair share of concerts and festivals, music sometimes plays a more personal role. In a highly social, public culture, choosing to share a song in private is especially meaningful.

repairs in the depths of a family compound
Most Family compounds are ancient, and extend deep underground. It takes a lot to keep a Family running, and the innumerable cellars, tunnels, crawlspaces, and shafts are filled with generations of mechanical detritus.
Family service areas aren't an eldritch mess like the ruins, but a more "conventional" mess. ... 2021-02-02 04:45:03 +0000 UTC View Post

Federal artificing lab
A laboratory where the Federal Family studies artifacts. While artifacts can be categorized, no two are exactly alike. Each artifact needs its properties mapped and explored. While common artifacts are usually harmless, this task isn't without risk. Sometimes a benign looking artifact will do something dangerous, or suck en...

back in business
Dear Patrons,
Thank you for your patience while I've been inactive the last weeks. My semester is, as of yesterday, 100% over, and I hope to be back to my baseline amount of lizard art shortly. Wishing everyone who's celebrating happy holidays (happy Hanukah for me) and the winter possible.

Federal fixed wing aircraft.
Unpredictable weather, altitude limitations, and the fact that airships have been around for hundreds of years make fixed-wing aircraft rarely-seen, specialized tools in The Shell.
