Age of Iron Art Dump · 3:03am Jul 17th, 2021
EZ the Pony is, as of now, still not recovered and I don't see much prospect of getting any big compositions from him soon. But I reached out to a few other artists and got new pictures of a few of the secondary characters done, mostly so that I have better references for future art pieces.
First we have my delightful mascot, Gear Works, by BlazingStred. Here he's hard at work building some unfortunate Chaos soldier's hilarious overheating mishap.
Here's the commander of Phage Squadron, Poison Kiss, by Hakaina. Her plasma burn has fully healed over by now, but her hatred for the Tau Empire never will!
The flying chemical hazard Breezy Blight, by Bonnie_Tappert. Now boasting her snazzy new bionic wing.
Rot Blossom the Infested, by Kovalev. Dressed in a fetching shawl no doubt teeming with the most vile of Nurgle's gifts. Thanks, Grandfather!
Last - and judging by page time, probably least - we have the Dark Mage of Tzeentch, Shifty Sights, by Qamar. Not quite the color scheme I had indicated, but I can just give her chameleonic fur or something, whatever.
cool ones
I've seen Kiss on the EqD yesterday and I didn't realized it was from Age of Iron
There's honestly not enough of this.... pity i can't draw
Wholesome cult horses. Adorable.

Good to know to wider community is being exposed to Chaos Ponies.
Sad to say I had to skip over the one with Rot Blossom rather quickly, because of severe centipede phobia. The others look really good though.
I'm tempted to blow the figurative dust off my art software and see what I may be able to make for you, but I am worthless at drawing living things. So I would need to come up with some scene that would work. I will contemplate this.
Here's the thing, Shifty Sights is dedicated to Tzeentch, the Lord of Change. Something like changing fur colour is laughably trivial. Tzeentchians don't even know how many limbs they're going to wake up with in the morning
nice
These are great! I love Shifty, she's fantastic.

Oh? I worked with Hakaina through the commishes and wasn't sure where her main art page was, if she had one. Is she on DeviantArt?
5556160
Well i'm certainly not expecting free art from anyone, but speaking to your art strengths and weaknesses specifically there's an abundance of non-organic elements in the story
5556167
True. Also I never want to correct artists and she does look pretty good with that color, so whatever.
5556174
Is Shifty meant to be a Crystal Pony? When I was scrolling down, I thought Qamar had given her the old crystalline texture they use to have.
5556454
No, that's just some unorthodox lighting. Shifty is - or rather, was - a regular Equestrian unicorn.

but the link does not go to any gallery.
Honestly I don't know this artist myself, so I don't know eiter

Praise the Grandfather
(tough if I were to choose the Chaos God, It would be probably Tzeench)
Love that pic of Gear, Gear in the Machine remains one of my all time favorites on this website. (I think I’ve read it at least three times now)

I don't do art for money. Mostly because I don't do much of it at all, and I don't want to end up with a commission I don't fulfill.
I do have some inspiration, though I can't find anywhere you have stated the color of the Harvest's eyes other than calling them bloodshot. Is that something you had a particular thought for?
5556632
I didn't have any particular color in mind, no. It's probably not even stable; you'd get eyes of different types, colors, shapes, and intensities depending on circumstances and mood.
5556613
Wow, really?
Hmm... Well shoot, I might have to get to work on a new chapter, then.
5556686
No pressure, just wanted to let you know I really like your writing. I’ve read through the entirety of the Iron Hearts series twice as well, I just enjoy it. Your stories are the primary reason I decided to get into 40k and learn more about the lore and the hobby
I adore that, so many years later, this is still going on. Just caught up to everything and damn, still great as ever! Hope you've been well.

Still no ponies murdered! :D

Hah! Yeah, even after all this time. You've done really well with it all. All of the characters are just so memorable.
Very nice artwork all around! I'm surprised these aren't on the Hearts of Iron Deviantart group. Also, I figured if Grandfather Nurgle was going to give anyone sharp teeth, it'd be Rot Blossom so she wouldn't have to gnaw so much to deliver her "gifts" to whoever she's fighting.
Still, awesome art all around! Let them go forth and Love and Tolerate the shit out of the enemies of the 38th!

I've been trying to find the artists on DeviantArt, but the only one I've got is BlazingStred and he hasn't posted the picture of Gears. I'll probably post the pictures myself with credit to the artist.
One look at Gear Works and I instantly had the Dawn of War Techpriest construction noises in my head! Good Times!
Will we see more Chaos Ponies art in the future?
5563802
Yes

Is it possible that in one of those fanarts we see the "Sorceress of Tzeentch"?
I mean this pony:

There might be another picture of Shifty Sights, but it's going to be mostly more Gear Works and Dusk Blade.
