TWO GLORIOUS COCKPITS.

I just love the original Exorcist. This model made me fall in love with Sisters of Battle. It's big, it's overwrought, it's mobile in a way that neither pipe organs nor artillery should be.

My faces still aren't great, but they're good enough for the tabletop.

Another commission done by the ever-talented @carbonatedjem! This time featuring the protagonist of an original story I'm writing, Saint Barbara, and her battle with a demon.

Barbara actually started out as another one of my Fate Fanservants, but she slowly evolved into the protagonist of her own story with her own world and all, and I'm hoping I can share more about her and what she does if'n any of yall are interested in hearing. I'd love to talk more about my OCs here.

If ya haven't checked out Jem's work before PLEASE do so. She's an amazingly talented artist and deserves all the love ya can give her.

The Martyrdom of Saint Barbara by German artist Lucas Cranach the Elder, c. 1510

The work depicts the martyrdom of Saint Barbara, a Lebanese-Greek princess who was executed by her heathen father Dioscorus at the behest of Roman officials; the execution was in retaliation for Barbara refusing to renounce her Christian faith.

Dragged before the prefect of the province, Martinianus, who had her cruelly tortured, Barbara held true to her Christian faith. During the night, the dark prison was bathed in light and new miracles occurred. Every morning, her wounds were healed.

Torches that were to be used to burn her went out as soon as they came near her. Finally, she was condemned to death by beheading. Her father himself carried out the death sentence. However, as punishment, he was struck by lightning on the way home and his body was consumed by flame. Barbara was buried by a Christian, Valentinus, and her tomb became the site of miracles.
