In order of appearance:

eddfr brings us three wonderful watercolor pieces inspired by The Autumn War. We have two Valbaran Commandos armed with laser weapons. I really...

Dire Contingency Cover

The cover art for Dire Contingency is finished! This one comes courtesy of our returning friend SickJoe, who did a wonderful job with his rendition of the characters. We have a very grizzled Ruza with his AMR, Agent Petrova giving us her best smile, the dastardly Barbosa in all of his cybernetic glory, and a Bullshark PCE that really steals the show. The weathering on its armor is especially impressive.

Really pleased with how this one turned out, and if you want to see more st...

Imperial Dragon Concept Art (NSFW)

Here's the snussy version of the Dragon concept art.
Once again, these wonderful pieces come courtesy of Oouna, now featuring the nude details of the new species. Fun fact, the genitalia is between the legs, but the cloaca is at the end of the tail, which is why it's covered up in the clothed versions.

I'm super excited to finally be able to share these and they're already some of my favorite designs.

Check out more of Oouna's work over here:

Imperial Dragon Concept Art

We have some much anticipated concept art today! We've been slowly filling out the ranks of the upcoming Empire faction, and it's time for the main feature. Only known by the reporting name Dragon by the UNN, few details have been revealed about their planet of origin or their culture. What's known is that they occupy the highest echelons of the Imperial rank structure, ruling over the other species who refer to them with reverence. Much can be inferred from their exotic physiology.<...

Harmony-class Supercarrier

Introduction

The Harmony-class Supercarrier is the next generation of Coalition spacecraft, building upon battle-tested UNN design philosophies coupled with technological innovations and construction methods pioneered by Coalition partners.

At one kilometer in length, the Harmo...

Harmony of Guns - a Pinwheel Comic Book

I am excited to finally reveal Harmony of Guns, a project I've been working on with our good friend SickJoe for over a year. This promotional comic book introduces new characters that will be featuring in what I refer to as Phase Two of Pinwheel, along with a brand new Supercarrier that will enable the Coalition to go out into deep space and face greater threats than ever before. I thought this would be a fun way to show off a lot of the new technology and developments that ...

Sastrugi Concept Art (NSFW)

Here are the spicy versions of the Sastrugi concept art.

These wonderful pieces come courtesy of Oouna, and feature the nude and anatomical details of the new species. The theme for these guys was strongfat, we really wanted to create a nice balance between functional strength and some insulating padding, and I think Oouna really succeeded in that. At a height of seven feet, these guys stand taller than humans, and they're bigger than that makes them sound!

Sastrugi Concept Art

The next piece of concept art for the new species is ready! The Sastrugi will be the first introduction to the new Empire faction, appearing in the next installment after the Jakkari. This will usher in a new era for Pinwheel of peer opponents and political intrigue!

This artwork was provided once again by our friend Oouna, featuring male and female examples of the species in different outfits. As always, this meets Oouna's extremely high standards, and the images are ...

Jakkari Concept Art (NSFW)

Here are the spicy versions of the Jakkari concept art.

Once again, this wonderful art comes courtesy of Oouna, and the amount of work that went into these is really impressive. Here you can see a bit more of a progression of the design process from start to finish as it was iterated on and refined, originally based on a concept created for the project by Gungulon some years ago.

I especially love the studies of the head, which is based on Gorgonopsid anatomy, an extinct ...

Jakkari Concept Art

Today we have the completed concept art for the Jakkari, an upcoming species that will be introduced in the next Pinwheel story following Dire Contingency. These ones have been in development behind the scenes for a long time, and I'm very excited to have them finalized and ready to ship.

This artwork comes courtesy of our friend Oouna who has returned once again to bring us some world-class designs, this time featuring male and female examples of the species in variou...

Polar Medic Concept Art

Some more concept art today from our friend SickJoe, who brings us a Polar combat medic! We haven't seen many Polars in combat roles before, but here's one outfitted to administer shots of both adrenaline and tungsten in defense of her patients.

There are lots of cool little details on this one, including the first appearance of a medical scanner, along with an example of the gloves that Borealans use and how they avoid tearing them with their claws.

Bullshark PCE Concept Art

Here's the finished concept art for the Bullshark Powered Combat Exoskeleton featured in Dire Contingency. This artwork includes various angles and different variants seen in the story, including the riot shield and heavy XMR loadouts.

I really love the amount of detail that went into all of the machinery on this project, it takes a lot of the angular stealth design language of the UNN, along with common colors like charcoal and Navy blue, and brings those to wearable ...

Kodiak MBT Fanart

Today we have some wonderful fanart submitted by Genestic12 featuring the Kodiak main battle tank from Pinwheel. The Kodiak has gone through several design iterations since its introduction to the series, most recently with the official concept art by Simon Contreras. This iteration is Genestic's own take on the vehicle based partially on Simon's artwork and his own interpretation from the stories. He's brought a level of realism and practicality to his design that really makes it feel ground...

Snekguy Original Art Gallery

Many of you might not be aware that I'm somewhat of a multi-instrumentalist, having personally designed several of the book covers myself. You might be asking, Snekguy, why do you need to hire artists when you're operating at such a high skill level? Hiring artists is really only a formality to add a few finishing touches to the pieces, as someone with my raw, natural talent really only needs MS Paint to realize their creative vision. That's right. Believe it or not, pieces at this high level...

Fanart Drop

We have another Polar-sized fanart drop today, including art from a lot of returning creators and some newcomers! Thank you to everyone who made or commissioned artwork, it's always great to be able to share these with the community, and I'm continuously amazed by your creativity. In order of appearance:

This one was created by returning artist UnknownAnimal and features...

Valbaran Print

Our friend delta_v is back once more with another impressive project. Some time ago, he created this excellent piece of art reminiscent of the game Disco Elysium, which shows a flock of Valbarans thinking together as a Consensus. I liked this one a lot, and he clearly did too, because he decided to send me physical print of the piece, which I have framed for display. It’s a wonderful gift, and I really wanted to ...

Mima's Kitchen Fanimation

Today’s fanart comes courtesy of Mushy, who is back to bring us a wonderful animated piece of Mima from Human Resources in her kitchen. He put a crazy amount of time and effort into this, and it really shows, the animation is so smooth. Is she getting ready to make a delicious snack, or is she just trying to entice Steven? You be the judge.

Xipa Cosmic Postcard Fanart

Featured today is some wonderful fanart of Xipa from The Autumn War series, which was submitted by KingOfWishfulThinking. I'm really impressed with the level of detail and the references in this one. Xipa has her autumn camo suit, we've got the eye patch, the Betelgeusian dagger that she held on to for so many rotations, and we even have Kerguela and its gas giant in the background. This one is dripping with style, and KOWT went to great lengths to replicate the inking technique...

Valbaran Fanart Drop

We have another fanart drop today featuring some new Valbarans that have been submitted by artists in the community. We have the return of delta_v's goobers trying out some spicy human delicacies with predictable results, a rambunctious Christmas Valbaby submitted by Mushy, and some lovely artwork of Valbs featuring both modern and historical clothing styles submitted by SpookyRockfall.

Happy Holidays!

2024 has come and gone, and I wanted to take some time to thank you guys for another year of amazing support. I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

It's been a tremendous year. I usually use my Christmas post to talk about all the art we commissioned throughout the year and all the projects we completed, but this time, I want to talk about you.

The community has continued its steady growth, and we've seen more and more new people checking out the con...

I'll be taking a short break of a day or two from the current story to make the prem...

Crochet Azazel

Here we have a wonderful baby Azazel from Goetic Justice, originator of sin and chief of the Seirim. Fear him!

This lovely doll was made by hand using crochet, complete with a little stand to keep him upright and his own conjured halberd of flaming doom. His dread wings of shadow have wire in them so they can be posed.

I’ve never had physical merch mailed in before, and it was a super cool surprise to open the package and find this little guy peering back at me with his...

Gue’tra 3D Model

Today we have a very impressive 3D model of the Gue’tra Infantry Fighting Vehicle operated by the Valbaran Consensus, which was submitted by JP5. He recreated the whole vehicle in Blender, along with all the little details and greebles, and he created a sprite size chart to go with it too. It’s really cool to see people recreating vehicles from the Pinwheel series in 3D and being able to view them from every angle like this.

Dire Contingency

The 33rd entry in the Pinwheel series starts now.

A faction of rogue special forces agents attempt to establish themselves on Hades, where they seek to form a breakaway civilization in opposition to the Coalition. With help months away, the only person who is in a position to oppose them is an old veteran of the Kerguela war.

Endo the Line Part 2

Our friend Malvear is back with another lovely rendition of the Jarilan Drone, Amethyst! After successfully seducing a wayward Marine on shore leave at the Endo the Line bar, she’s taken him to a secluded waterfall in the forest where she can show him what the Queen gave her. This one was commissioned by a reader who prefers to remain uncredited. Make sure you click on it to open it in full resolution so you can see all t...
