BattleTech is us 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
NOTE: Alt text cropped to fit I'm Detocroix. I started this BattleTech Community project in July 2021. Since then I have also organized and edited BattleTech Pride Anthology twice, I have made a lot of queer BattleTech art, if you've seen enamel pins, stickers, charity shirts, or some other BattleTech Pride stuff over the years, you've probably seen something I've made. I just want people to enjoy and feel welcome, I want people to feel safe with this hobby. I don't make stuff for myself, I make things for the queer community, I make neat things *for you*. While what's going on in US doesn't directly affect me yet, I feel you and I fear for you. There's not much I can do, being this far away, I'm even in the Deep Ass Periphery of Europe. Things are going to go worse before it can become better, and I just want you to survive this. Please. Even with all the rot going on, this place is here for you, this hobby is always for you. There's some amazing people who work for CGL who work on this franchise and they care for you too. There's queer communities that are welcoming where you can find solace and escape in, be it QueerTech/Pride Anthology Discord--our little home within home, or Star League. CGL Discord is also strongly moderated. There are places where you can go, and enjoy the hobby without being exposed to the rot. Just Bluesky is infinitely better than any other platform at this point. There are amazing queer community projects coming this year, something to look up to; we're making Pride Anthology this year too, for the third time. Wild-Cat144 is making a comic anthology. Star League is organizing a Pirate Point fanzine. I know there's other projects too, and this year is very much going to be the queerest BattleTech year ever. Outlive your oppressors, that's the best and worst thing you can do to them. We are here for you, every single day, being stupid with BattleMechs. Just don't give up <3 ~Detocroix

Omg this looks so kick ass! I really love how the 'Mechs are lined over and shaded, it makes them pop so nicely <3

Looks like some of the BT comic pages I've been working on got shown in today's Tuesday News stream.

A bit out of order, the middle one is the opening page.

Yes, that's a reference to Crescent Hawks Inception. ( But, with clan stuff. )

Did you know Pride Anthology features short stories from eleven amazing writers (+1 me)? Did you also know it features a forward by Jordan Weisman, one of the creators of BattleTech franchise? :3

So... I'm attending Anthrocon.

I will likely not be suiting at the con.

I have a different outfit to wear instead.

I have 3 of these by the way :)

I painted this #Victor in the last batch as well, and I just wanted to try out my favorite teal/orange color combo. Definitely love this one and how honest the weaponry on it is lol

The aces products are meant as follow ons for the alpha strike box set, so they aren't fully standalone. But they are designed so that you do not need any previous aces set to use one.

Battletech fan art. Night winter scene. Coming from the fog, front and center is Wraith battlemech firing his arm mounted laser while he takes a hit in his left leg. Behind him to the right, standing on the cliff is another Wraith, both his arms raised, firing a salvo of lasers and to the right in the distance, a Phoenix Hawk mech stands rearguard firing his particle projection cannon at unseen enemy.
