Art by Luigiix - the core protagonists of NICEF in their academy uniforms (black jacket and slacks with dress shoes, with insignias on the left side of the wearer's chest for their curriculum. Feather for pilot, half a cog for mechanical engineering, circuit-board mini diagram for software engineering). From left to right: Taegen Atius, Selene Ark, Stefan Mara, Blaire Phyzante, Djilia Oakren, Latien Varsan, Diela Kilan. This banner also serves as a height comparison. Taegen is the tallest, then Djilia, Diela, Stefan and Selene are about even, then Blaire, then Latien (who is specifically very short).

Art by Luigiix - Djilia wearing a Nicef pilot suit. It resembles a futuristic, slimmed down spacesuit with LED lights and a glowing faceplate. Her eyes are metallic purple, her short hair a very dark brown, and her skin is tan (like Stefan's). There is a special pop-out view showing the inside of the back of the collar. Three mechanical panels extend out from the back of the collar. They would touch the pilot's neck.

Art by Luigiix - a ferocious alien appearance, with red glowing eyes, black skin, black armor, and distorted tentacles in place of hair. Taegen's open mouth shows shark-like teeth. Meta text - anime lightnovel mech pilot scifi sci-fi

Due to no traffic on my itch page for #NICEF for 10 days straight, and little sales since they caved to fascist-controlled payment processors, I will be releasing my next book as Amazon exclusive, at least temporarily. I'm sorry that I can't offer an alternative at this time. #writingcommunity

Art by Luigiix - left side features Djilia Oakren in the Mercelo piloting uniform, standing casually and offering a wave to the viewer. She has a big, warm smile. Her eyes are metallic purple, her short hair a very dark brown, and her skin is tan (like Stefan's). - Right side features Djilia wearing a Nicef pilot suit. It resembles a futuristic, slimmed down spacesuit with LED lights and a glowing faceplate. There is a special pop-out view showing the inside of the back of the collar. Three mechanical panels extend out from the back of the collar. They would touch the pilot's neck. - Center features digital text information: Djilia Oakren; pilot candidate; age: 17 y.o.; House Status: Arbiter of Aroi House; Origin: Tagil, Aroi Settlement Colony; Known Skills: Nicef piloting

#FantasyIndiesAugust Day 13 Type of Book?
- I love the feel of a physical book, but practicality usually demands I eBook. I have no issue with audiobooks for folks, but that's a different kind of enjoyment for me. Holding a physical copy of #NICEF was a dream moment.

Art by Luigiix - the core protagonists of NICEF in their academy uniforms (black jacket and slacks with dress shoes, with insignias on the left side of the wearer's chest for their curriculum. Feather for pilot, half a cog for mechanical engineering, circuit-board mini diagram for software engineering). From left to right: Taegen Atius, Selene Ark, Stefan Mara, Blaire Phyzante, Djilia Oakren, Latien Varsan, Diela Kilan. This banner also serves as a height comparison. Taegen is the tallest, then Djilia, Diela, Stefan and Selene are about even, then Blaire, then Latien (who is specifically very short).

Do you like BIG HECKIN CHONK books!? #NICEF is a BRICK if you get the print version! Sci-fi space opera with mechs, inspired by all the anime classics! Especially good for fans of Gundam Witch from Mercury!

Art by Luigiix - the core protagonists of NICEF in their academy uniforms (black jacket and slacks with dress shoes, with insignias on the left side of the wearer's chest for their curriculum. Feather for pilot, half a cog for mechanical engineering, circuit-board mini diagram for software engineering). From left to right: Taegen Atius, Selene Ark, Stefan Mara, Blaire Phyzante, Djilia Oakren, Latien Varsan, Diela Kilan. This banner also serves as a height comparison. Taegen is the tallest, then Djilia, Diela, Stefan and Selene are about even, then Blaire, then Latien (who is specifically very short).

Art by Luigiix - Djilia wearing a Nicef pilot suit. It resembles a futuristic, slimmed down spacesuit with LED lights and a glowing faceplate. Her eyes are metallic purple, her short hair a very dark brown, and her skin is tan (like Stefan's). There is a special pop-out view showing the inside of the back of the collar. Three mechanical panels extend out from the back of the collar. They would touch the pilot's neck.

Art by Luigiix - reference sheet for the Phoenix mech (Nicef). Right side shows Phoenix's main body, humanoid, with aerodynamic armor layers. Small details glow in blue, the majority of the Nicef is red, with darker red, gold, black, and silver filling in as detailing. Massive, mechanical wings come out of Phoenix's back, and they are fully spread, with clusters of thrusters ignited to create huge 'wings' of burning jet-fire. The wings hit the far right and left corners of the landscape arrangement. Phoenix is carrying a long-barrel sniper-rifle matched to its design in its left hand. The lower-left of the image shows a text box with the following information: Model Name: Phoenix Class: Zero-Gravity Combat (Zigcom) frame Manufacturer: Darkstar Manufacturing Primary Weapon(s): --Multi-Configuration Long Range Plasma-Condenser Rifle (MCLR Plasma Rifle) --Interlock Medium Range Plasma-Condenser Cannon (IMRC Plasma Cannon, component of MCLR Rifle) --Interlock Spatha-Class Plasma-Condenser Saber (ISC Beam Saber, component of MCLR Rifle) Manufacturer's Note: "Phoenix's specific beam saber utilizises a proprietary modification to the plasma condenser field, creating the red color of the plasma discharge as opposed to our standard blue." Combat Role(s): vanguard, scout, ambusher, sniper Meta Text - mech mecha anime lightnovel giant robot

Art by Luigiix - ref sheet for the Aegis mech (Nicef). Left side shows the full robot, colored black, purple, and gold, holding a beam-halberd in the right hand (relaxed), and a riot-shield gripped by the left. The energy of the weapon and the visor of the mech face glow golden yellow. The right side of the sheet shows difference views of the riot shield. One is a front-facing detail view, the next is a side view of the shield exploded out as an energy wall with parts of metal floating in the energy, and the last is a front view of the exploded version. Data read-out in the center of the sheet shows: Model Name: Aegis Class: n/a (custom hybrid construction) Manufacturer: Aroi House Primary Weapon(s): --Heavy Plasma-Condenser Halberd (Beam Halberd) --Expansion-Lock Field-Deploy Plasma-Condenser Shield (Plasma Shield) Combat Role(s): vanguard, front-line combat, defender

#JulyWorldbuilders Day 30 inspired my world building
Too numerous to state. For #NICEF absolutely the classic anime greats with Gundam, Macross, Big O etc. Witch from Mercury was absolutely a vital bit of inspiration, and I think anyone who enjoyed G-Witch would love NICEF too.
