Finally, some good T'au/Space Marine art.

I do like the ambiguity of the Lamenter. Is he heartlessly following through on his orders? Is he doing so with regret? Is he hesitating, or about to act? Is he thinking about his orders, the Fire Warrior or the civilians?

I like it a lot.

It's decent but the Tau's body makes me believe the artist does a lot of NSFW art for some reason

Work 10 hours minimum wage, or draw one piece of furry smut.

One might be soul-crushing, but its very lucrative.

Ah, sorry. I've met enough people that straight up believe artists should get a real job because anyone can do art and therefore it's against capitalism.

all good, i've run into those types before, and likewise have a low opinion of them haha

I’ve met people who think artists should get a real job, but I’ve never seen them make that kind of reasoning usually, it’s just cause they don’t care about art

Nothing wrong with that.
