> For the Glory of the Imperium! I’ve finished an artwork of my Rogue Trader Esther I started a few months ago! It even feels weird parting with it after all this time.

> Context: She’s a Commissar with Illustrious Glory triumph which is a background as an Imperial propaganda posters legend. So I’ve been wondering for the longest time how those posters could look considering W40k aesthetics. I imagine clear and blunt wartime posters pushed in the direction of nearly religious imagery with fervent detailing but still looking like something that was painted.

> Also I dusted off my calligraphy skills for this one, so every bit of text here is hand-lettered over a span of a few nights because clearly only through pointless toil and solemn misery can I capture the spirit of 40k💀 Consider me contractually obliged to bring attention to it every time I post because I spent so much time doing it lol. I could be your autoquill equipped servoskull anytime

> PS: I’ll try to put together a process video sometime soon!
