If you love these, it's good enough for me 😊

I dont really stick to one consistent topic, so there is little for an algo to pick up. I went viral a few times, but social media growth isn't really a big concern for me. People either stick around or they don't. That's the nature of doing *whatever*

All is well, I'll keep drawing and everything. Just less focused on maximizing marketability and revenue extraction.

Oh BTW I want to add this has absolutely nothing to do with any of you wonderful people or any of my most delightful commissioners, all of whom I loved working with. Comms will likely remain viable on a reduced basis.

This is entirely on my backend and drawing as a career.

There won't be too much of a change as to what you see me post, as this mostly affects the 80% of art I draw and don't publish.

However, I think I'll ease off on my "quality control for social media" and just post more sketchy and raw stuff, as drawing becomes a pure free time hobby activity again.

There is no warmer welcome to involuntary new friends than a thermobaric embrace.

Next up would be redoing the namesake nation of FRANÇAISE with a more earnest attempt at combining tank armor and ~15th century knightly armor. A decorative cloth covering the plate with bare metal placard on the leclerc.

But I may take a little break from this series for now, it aint super popular

Gm, are you back? :D

I think it's hard to grasp for people how ridiculously short that effective range is. 3300 yards is just over the M2 Brownings 2200 maximum effective range.

A javelin, though more expensive, covers over 4000 yards. We already have tried and proven solutions for threats in this range envelope.

Honestly I just enjoy the process of painting a lot so I just zoned out a few times having fun instead of designing everything with this one, lol!

I dont think I'll do much "clean" lineart anime stuff in the future, even when painted isnt very popular (at my skill level)

The tattoo is a lenin power pole cat hybrid. celebrating the electricifcation of the people. Ran out of time to design a full sleeve, but it's power poles and cats on her arm all the way up.

Also drew the gun a bit too big and not functional enough, but oh well :D Next time.

She's cute

Yeah, I really wanted to just depict an ordinary day / moment. People just going after their own lives, in an extraordinary ordinary moment.

Hah, thanks. One can still dream

Wow, really? That makes me so happy to hear. I am glad you like it that much. First time I hear someone say that, too :D
I posted it on reddit a while ago, yeah :D

I have another similar one, I'll repost it momentarily.

Thank you very much!
