Thanks to everyone for being to patient with me, I appreciate it. two page spreads like these take quite some time, but they really do make the book.

Just a little reminder, a few Patreons have requested that I host a competition for a bit of fun on the Discord server. Basically the idea is that I give you a prompt and the best art/design wins. The prize is for your art to be shared on all of my social media pages and also if I really like it, for it to be featured somewhere in Humanity Lost Volume 2.

The prompt is: an imperium unit.

It can be any type of unit that you want, whether that may be a trooper or a vehicle, heck, even an Overfather if you want. Just get creative and have fun with it!

Here’s the link to the discord for those who haven’t joined yet: https://discord.gg/nKqbVn5x

Post your submissions in the contest section of the discord server, the competition ends on the 27th of July.

Wow is the membrane of the tandraxian star engine directly attacking the imperium’s mothership? Anyways beautiful pages, you can really see the work put in!!

CallumStephenDiggle

It is indeed, it’s a bit of a throwback to when the other Star-Engine did it back in issue 5 of volume one. Thanks so much, Lukak, it means a lot!

Those Kolaxans better not look up. Jokes aside, love all the detail on this page and those vureii suits look really cool

Shawn Bond

Whoa! 🤯. Yep…beautiful work. Definitely spot on. 👌

CallumStephenDiggle

Breacher inbound! Thanks so much, a lot went into it, as you can imagine! And cheers ☺️

I bet the destabilizing the wormhole was a temporary solution, the All-Mother is gonna come back somehow, do you think it's possible to survive a strike from a Tandraxian energy shield or even break through it to damage the physical craft within?

CallumStephenDiggle

You’re right, but it will buy them some time. Enough time to breathe and to plan their next move. But yes, definitely temporary. I’d say yes to both. A ship can avoid a strike from a Tandraxian Star-Engine, or if it hits a non critical area, it can survive. More often than not though, a hit is fatal. You certainly can break through if the force/energy is greater than that of the shield.

Might be a good idea to specify that AI submissions aren't allowed. Which is fitting given the subject matter.

I see that there's a boarding vessel attached to the Kolaxan ship and another one on the way. Unit per unit, are the Kolaxans, and other races I guess, able to defeat Imperium troops? I guess I'm asking what's the K/D ratio when different forces fight the Imperium?

CallumStephenDiggle

The thought literally hadn’t even entered my mind! That’s a great point, thanks for bringing that up.

CallumStephenDiggle

They are indeed able to defeat them, if the Galactic union forces are well equipped enough and well organised, it can be as close as 1/1.15 K/D, but the Imperium tend to always come out the other side better off. The example I gave there was for a small skirmish, the dynamics would be different when factoring in an entire battlefield. Generally speaking, the imperium are able to out-gun the G.U. and are better organised, this is exemplified in how they act in unison with one mind. I can’t give you an exact K/D ratio though as there are too many factors to quantify, but it would be leaning in the Imperium’s favour. The Kolaxans and the Gord perform better against the Imperium than the Conglomerate because they have homogeneity and uniformity on their side, with that being said, the Imperium has the advantage of being greater in both aspects and has the additional benefit of the bulk of their forces being made up by what are essentially fearless biological robots.

I really enjoy the star engine design, and I wonder if the All Mother has started to engineer weapons against them. I'd be surprised if she hadn't at least made plans, since she doubtless wants to challenge them eventually. Quick question about the competition; I assume it's one entry per person?

Ryan

It would be immediately disqualified on the grounds that its not really real art anyway

CallumStephenDiggle

I’d imagine that you’re right! Yes, for the competition it’s one entry per person. Just pool all of your best ideas into one design and submit it 😁 I’m looking forward to seeing your entry!

I mean, I think there are a lot of problematic things about AI (generated art). The issues of copyright with the trained work, the issues with the people who's art was used to train the model now being replaced, et cetera. However, there's certainly a lot of skill involved in directing these models to produce the images that you want it to produce. Which, I've seen argued is the art part that's involved. It's a complicated subject.
