This page is all about my own personal project, named “The Vines of War” for pretty apparent reasons.
If you’d like to see more, I have a YouTube channel dedicated to its worldbuilding, and a Patreon in case you would be interested to support the project, links at the bottom.
This is something that has been in my head and under construction for quite a few years now
Hope you like it!
“Steel Scion”
The first illustration I made with the Vinmeka, after months of sketches and thinking about how Plant based medieval mechs could work!
Although the project itself is now under the Iron Vessel umbrella term, Steel Scion will still be the name of the first story set in Arkenossa!
Vine Mech inside view
The concept where I was finally happy with how the vines on the interior looked and the one I used to launch my Youtube channel!
How to get inside one’s Mech
in 5 easy steps!
Pretty self explanatory I would say! easy as that!
if you want more context or info, I suggest you check my Patreon or YouTube out! links below!
The Might of Zemsheva
The regular army of the Zemshevan Commonwealth, arrayed and ready to give battle!
Gun Drums and Steel
A thumbnail I did for my video no the Rise of the Hecaxian Empire, at least its beginnings.
It’s pretty fun to imagine an early modern civilization drawing inspiration from the Aztecs!
How a Mech shall be… built?
Just a part of a larger series showing how the Vinmeka of the Zemshevan commonwealth are constructed and armored.
Looming Battle
The Hecaxian Iron Cohorts and the Vinmeka of Zemsheva about to clash in the field
Early mech
Those Early mechs may not have been as graceful, but they were devastating.
They soon became the force that dominated the battlefield, but this never stopped the lords from trying to force the balance through weight of men alone…

Annointed
An Atman (mech pilot) gets assigned to a newly built Mech, and sworn in before marching to war.
This one ended up being pretty different from what I ended up imagining Zemsheva as, but still like it as an illustration
