Concept art and anime bullshit. Links and contact:
Also just to be clear I realize I'm the biggest hypocrite in the world considering one of my longest enduring mecha OCs is LITERALLY "bandaged robot with a cape and one fucked up arm." So feel free to say I'm full of shit lmao. I totally get it, it fucking rules when a robot rolls up like that.
One millisecond of GM too. Not really feeling either of them, but I guess I was also initially skeptical of the GQ Zaku until I saw it in motion.
It's my birthday, and boy am I starting to feel it these days. This year's been kinda slow on the art side of things but I'm truly grateful if you continue to enjoy my work. I'm going to keep doing this as long as you'll allow me.
Draw This, Then Die! does a wonderful job of exploring the power art can have over us, even "bad" or less "worthy" art. That all human creations possess the inherent capability to connect to the heart of another. Incredibly charming show that doesn't shy away from how much art can hurt as well.
Young Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games has one gimmick, but that might be enough. But there's something off putting about the sterility of the SF6 footage. It reminds you this isn't just a celebration of the FGC, but also an ad for a product. How well they manage that balance may make or break it.
*ANYWAY* Goodbye Lara feels in conversation with the new GitS. Both are anime interested in examining the aesthetics and stylings of previous decades, but with a modern lens and sense of style. Only reason it isn't the best looking anime of the season is because of how stacked the competition is.
Real ones know Tomotsuka Haruomi is an elite tier pervert but even I cannot believe what the Dara-san of Reiwa anime gets away with. Is the show good? Eh. But Dara-san might legit be the hottest anime woman and it was immensely difficult to find even a handful of sfw screenshots.
World is Dancing is a tremendous expression of artistry. As the internet's foremost Look Back liker, I'll always be a sucker for (often tragic) stories that examine the inherent meaning of being creative. It makes some bold choices in its first two episodes and I'm curious to see if it pays off.
Fundamentally I think if you're not treating the current GitS as a holy shit 2(3) cakes situation, you are not a homie. I love what Science Saru is doing but let's not pretend Stand Alone Complex did not basically set an unsurpassable bar for tv anime back in 2002.
"Fiat Justitia" Working on something I probably won't be able to share for a bit so here's a teaser. I promise I still do art sometimes, in spite of everything.
Surprising nobody, the new ghost in the shell is killer. Love the new(old) take on the setting, Science Saru have gone above and beyond with this one.
👏READ👏THE👏BUGLE👏CALL👏IT HAS ONE OF THE COOLEST MAGIC SYSTEMS I'VE SEEN IN A MANGA Literally the most problematically compelling age gap relationship I have ever seen in my life. Good lord. WOMEN WHO WILL KILL YOU
Local mecha artist too ass to keep playing Marathon solo, putting out the call to any mutuals/followers who want to play. Trying to learn Outpost on my own has been a meat grinder and I might never touch Cryo at this rate.
Thanks! Yeah the base premise was a weapon that could be equipped by both infantry and 1/2 size chassis. The 1/2 size version takes advantage of the higher carrying capacity by turning it into a ridiculous handheld anti-personnel bullet hose.
Artists, show me your guns! (Preview edition, I really should just post the full version of some of these already but I'm not quite ready yet)
If they make it to chapter 50 in the anime, that episode will basically be the make or break for me. It's her shining moment and one of my favorite chapters of the entire manga.
Gonna call it now, Kanaeno stocks are going to shoot to the moon when the Fool Night anime airs. I better establish before everyone bandwagons, I found her first.😤 Maybe one of my favorite characters in anything out of the last few years, such a great combo of whimsy, compassion, and danger.
👏READ👏FOOL👏NIGHT👏IT HAS AMAZING ART BY YASUDA KASUMI One of the most brutal metaphors for the ways in which capitalism is a machine designed to extract your time on earth for the right to live. WOMEN WHO WILL KILL YOU
It's a subtle but important distinction. Some of the best looking gundams feature fairly restrained color schemes. But those small splashes of color where they do appear actually matter a lot for these designs and it's something I feel the Helix is missing.
Finally I will be extremely predictable and say I'd like to see more of that fake GM please. Who is this random pilot brave enough to just uppercut an alien dinosaur.
My one gundam hot take for the day is if I must pick one overly greebled AAA style gundam design, I like the Gundam Helix more than the EX. AU setting helps justify the departure and while I really don't like how detailed it is, the silhouette and proportions work for me better.
Don't know what to say anybody already hasn't, John Blanche was one of the greatest to ever do it. An inimitable master responsible for some of the most iconic pieces of ttrpg art ever created. Any of us who work in that space would not be here without him.
I drew this because I wanted to share that Rogue Albatross Mack's sidearm of choice is a customized Browning Hi-Power. It's a relic belonging to the House Vermilion armory that she is reluctant to let go of despite her current circumstances.
Sound and fury. Bearing an old name from the old world, Fabrique Nationale will honor its ancient promise.
New Oshii Votoms looks good but what instantly got me is the bit where they draw their back mounted weapons and fire by inverting their arms 180 degrees. Great acknowledgement of the mech as human proxy adapted to be a better weapon than the human body was ever intended. youtu.be/uRClWlt6mKM?...
-SPOILERS FOR PRAGMATA ENDING- . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The thing you pilot at the end of the game is one of my favorite takes ever on the "not power armor, but barely a mech either" concept. When I have time to do more Lancer original frames, I want a 1/2 size that channels this vibe.
Rolled credits on Pragamata. Dude what a cool ass game. Capcom action at its best.
