Nightmare hobby horse

for something different and even a little bit festive, here's some design work i've done over the past while on the antagonist's mech for my story project Wyvern. this is the Mari Lwyd, named and designed after the welsh folk custom. it's an extremely large and very powerful machine built more or less from scrap by wolfgang, who uses it to assist his honest living as a space pirate. the ISA usually just call it "the hobby horse".

the first sketches of the mari lwyd were done about a year ago:

designing the head was probably my favourite part. it's fun to use a real reference and then see how far i can push its abstraction before it loses all resemblance.

As for Mutagenesis, it probably won't be finished by the end of the year but work on the draft pages is more than halfway done. in the end it will probably be 28-30 pages, maybe more if i add extra art and storywriting to flesh out the world a little extra. we'll see..

anyway, happy holidays! i hope you can all have a safe and relaxing time, and thank you to everyone for another year of helping me make the shit i want to make :) <3
