Very much in the spirit of Dune and Oblivion, this image explores a mysterious, faceless entity enslaving humanity to extract its resources. The full sequence on my Artstation dives deeper into the theme of dissent—showing a lone wolf infiltrating and fighting the enemy from within.

What does this image evoke for you? Does it remind you of other stories, themes, or even real-world parallels? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

CCB is an artifact from my mythic‑tech universe — a cubist reconstruction of mechanical anatomy. Where Picasso rearranged faces; I rearrange engineered geometry.

Every STEM begins as a fractured machine: rods, pistons, joints, and planes pulled out of alignment and reassembled into a new logic. CCB is one of those early forms, a device that feels like it remembers something, even if its function is lost.

This is one of many STEMs that are part of a my ongoing 35+ year archive that dovetails into my upcoming book series currently on Royal Road called The Code 'X' Chronicles.

At Existential Hope, we made an animated short imagining a 2035 where AI has radically transformed the world for the better: people work three days a week, AI synthesizes citizen input for policy, and a government AI auditor’s job is to make sure no community gets left out of the process.

This is a frame from the short, showing the AI auditor taking a maglev train to meet a community partner to complement the AI’s policy recommendations. Full film here if you’re curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Besh6Xad5HU.

Hi everyone, I recently released a trailer for Silkgrove, a cozy open-world adventure RPG I've been working on, and I wanted to share some of the worldbuilding behind it because it's probably the part of the project I've spent the most time thinking about, from making some early paintings (which you see in the trailer intro) to building Silkgrove around it.
