Starship Troopers Fan Art

Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein was one of my favorite books to read when I was young. Not only was the premise of guys in flying armored suits cool but also the delivery. Heinlein was great at describing things like radio chatter and the burden of military command in a way that made the entire read feel tangible and engaging. This is how I always imagined the MI from book. This particular soldier is barbecuing a giant arachnid with the much described hand flamer from the novel.

Space Wolves Tattoo

A friend commissioned me to paint a massive Space Marine of the Space Wolves chapter from Warhammer 40,000 so that he could tattoo it on his thigh. Being that I had a Space Wolves army as a kid I was ecstatic to paint it, though I can't imagine how much it's going to hurt being put on his leg.

The quote was also one of my favorites back from the old days of tearing through the rule book as a kid.
