The Gethic Hand was Ailedhoo's country in several IOT games, based on his faction in *NationStates*. It was first referenced as early as IOT9, but is best remembered for its appearance in KaiserIOT and its sequel. While its exact origins vary by installment, the common thread is its founder [Vinsin Vancore](https://inkblot.art/post/3jFeQdpXIcK3uOZDLUDM), a mercenary radicalized by one Lloyd Gethic, who in quintessential totalitarian fashion preached that the only way to ensure global peace was by ruthlessly suppressing all dissenting opinion. The Hand was arguably Ailed's most nakedly villainous faction in any game—Mandatum at least had some semblance of a conscience, and even the mass-murdering Iccans tried to counterfeit a moral imperative. Uploaded to the now-defunct IOT Wiki in 2018, replacing Ailed's original raster and normalizing the flag's dimensions. The symbol isn't a double X, but Vancore's monogram mirrored on the Y-axis; it was loosely based on the not!swastika seen in General Midwinter's logo in *Billion Dollar Brain*.

2020 commission for BlackTeaGeisha, where I added a new outfit design to a previous commission for them

I really cranked out some good art this year and had a couple pieces that were real challenges for me. But it is a little sad that I did so little traditional art.

Species: Pteranoaeros hurricanos Age: 30 Element: Air Diet: Piscivore Likes: Flying, fish, adventure Dislikes: The winged elders, being told what to do Bio: Pteros is someone who always yearns for exploring. This makes them an outlier among their species. While most would avoid anything involving other species, Pteros wants to better understand the world around them. As such, she takes any opportunity to leave the mountains and take to the skies. Luckily, she manage to run into a certain tyrannosaur-ceratops duo. Pteros now has a means of exploring the world and its wonders and is egger to know more.
