Thanks so much :)

'Embassy Detail' Probably one of my more successful attempts at painting over pencils. Used a photo I took for the sky because why not

Much like "crab", industrial music is constantly re-evolving from first principles basically anywhere where there's a bunch of metal and plastic laying about

Yeah like, it's fine to not like something anymore as you age and the meta shifts, or they betray the source material too badly but like, these guys are just injecting right-wing grievances into fandoms for clicks. Also I haven't met a single Star Wars fan who doesn't also hate Star Wars lol

My library of WIPs weighs on my soul like the stack of unbuilt, unpainted, non-panel lined kits in my room. Yet somehow life goes on

A dude whose channel is "Diversity and Dragons" churning out 10 minutes of whining about DnD making a crochet book. Brother, you can't even keep your theme straight. Just yelling at clouds over here
🌒Cosmic_Flotsam🌘 (@cosmicflotsam.bsky.social)
We're already seeing a little of this, but reactionary nerd boomers are going to be the most irritating losers imaginable. Like just die already brother, the fandom does not require you or care how it was done 'back in your day'

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.

Its chilling up in my closet. I'll make it the next one, I promise. Gotta build something while I wait for the RG Wing Zero to drop

Finally bit the bullet and grabbed one of these, and despite the prevalence of polycaps, I am far from disappointed. This thing rules. Going to need an action base meant for MG's to stand it properly.

Corporate took note of the off time I have been taking to deal with my migraines, so I'm being watched like a hawk now for dealing with something mostly outside my control. Fun stuff, feels like life is about to shift hard on me again.
🌒Cosmic_Flotsam🌘 (@cosmicflotsam.bsky.social)
My job is pushing real hard into AI datacenters to shore up the slowing of our primary industry, and it's kinda bumming me out all the way to hell. It's like they have no concept of this being another useless tech bubble on the verge of bursting. You just can't get away from this garbage.

Its like Libertarians, they hate big government when they aren't the ones who are in charge. It's an obviously hollow stance.

Absolutely love the design on this one, finally I have an analogue of the Mk. V.
🌒Cosmic_Flotsam🌘 (@cosmicflotsam.bsky.social)
Looks like all those "resist tyranny" anti-government types aren't coming to save us after all. Shocker, I know. Turns out they were just mad whenever it wasn't one of their guys in charge. A country whose two main parties are so spineless they walked right into an intolerable arrangement.

I love drawing aggressive styled mechs. I love drawing blunt, military style mechs. I love drawing weird, chicken-walker mechs. I just love drawing mechs.

I am drawing new stuff I promise, it just takes a lot of jagermeister to get there, and my body doesn't like alcohol anymore. Let this inspire you ✨️

Big sword requires big long arms and hands. Maybe I should make them even bigger. Embiggen them, as it were.

My sex life has improved dramatically since I started fully embracing leftist thought, and weirdly nothing I've learned had anything to do with how to get laid, its all basic respect and real self-worth. Better to point out how the Right has this convo as a way to rope in disaffected men IMO

I see it now... think I was worried about making the trees too bright, thinking it would mess with the idea of night.

Hopefully the background madness sets in again and I can finish this one. Would be an easier task if I hadn't list this version of the piece which had some shading started -_-

Every time I tried to do PVP was in like 2012, well after the online stuff had died down on PS3, and every time it was just one Japanese player who used some infinite-flight missile boat to stay entirely out of range and absolutely wreck me no matter what strat I used

I don't care if it would take 4 whole days to walk from Whiterun to Ivarstead, I want my lore-accurate-sized Tamriel god dammit

Finally opened up my White Glint with VOB kit to have a looksee, and all the white parts are molded in the purest white ever. If I built it like that, it'd look like it belonged in a showroom. Gotta learn to airbrush my kits I suppose

It is seriously funny to realize that these people care way more about gender than actual trans folks do, kinda par for the course with reactionary outrage. They get mad people bring things up, because it exposes how insecure they are about said thing. Breathtaking
