This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨
Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

I don’t get enough sketches on my feed. I like it it’s got that Kenshi vibe to it. A biological dirigible.
These weird airships have been living in my head rent-free for as long as I can remember. The story goes that an alien pathogen accidentally brought back to earth from a British spacecraft journey through the upper atmosphere of Venus in the 1890s infects earth, causing dramatic mutations in many insects and sea creatures. In this case, the species is Endoxyla Vulumnus and it's the metasoma that grows extremely large and fills with biologically produced hydrogen.
The royal navy captures them and turns them into airship observation platforms. I wrote heaps about it when I was a teenager. I don't anymore, but the airship things never leave my mind lol.
I think my inspiration came from learning about honeypot ants when I was a kid.
