my namesake is a pretty obscure part of AC4's extended story. i might've missed it since i read this through google translate, but i don't think seymock's AC is ever named

i feel bad reporting this since it's not quite as dire as everyone else's circumstances...
the college classes have gotten more intense recently, so it might take a while for me to find some time to draw things.

Clean sheet biomech design by a group of tek nomads. They’re made with a symbiote bonded to aerospace parts. It is capable of transforming via JIT bone remodelling. They would become a mainstay of agri-NMA forces in their war with the UEC

a bit of a style change... i drew a crustacean for drawafish.com
it's been a while since i've done digital art, so my linework is a bit off. i like how the coloring turned out though.
the doodle won't appear on my profile view for some reason, i hope she's just taking a while to load
a doodle of the autonomous combat mecha heavy lobster from kirby super star and kirby super star ultra. the coloring is not quite faithfully recreated from the concept art for heavy lobster. her body is mostly gold, except for green glass for the eyes and claw sensor as well as silver for part of some decorative wings on the back and some other areas. the engine exhaust is blowing out shiny blue colored bubbles, as recreated from the source material. with her legs swept back, heavy lobster is moving to the right of the image. i could not find design credits for heavy lobster, i'm guessing she was drawn by kirby super star's illustrator tetsuya notoya doodled in drawafish.com the website's analysis says the probability of the doodle being a fish is 64 point 7 percent

i'd only ever heard momoiro kataomoi from kiara singing it, so i was shocked when it came up as oshibudo's ED. "kiara has good taste," i thought.
then i searched it and... it's a classic from 02... when idols were polled about idol songs recently it got 1st place... kiara has REALLY good taste...

i finished watching combat mecha xabungle. it's astonishing how well-crafted the show is overall, and i really enjoyed the tractor-like mecha designs in it. very good show if you like strong women.

it looks like i just needed to wait a few hours for my pen to start working again? maybe i was just working on too many details at once this time and it got worn out...

it's done...!
the pen i've been using kinda felt like it was on its last legs, so i opted not to erase the sketch lines since the inked lines might be weak. sorry if it looks kinda funky, i might post a cleaned up version later
rough sketch of the enemy army IFV from royal space force: wings of honnêamise. it has six wheels, a small turret closer to the front of the hull, a cylindrical hull section in the middle, and then a cube-shaped hull section emerging from rear of the cylinder with exit doors in the back. the turret's short-barreled autocannon is pointing to the upper right, into the horizon. there's some sort of spike on top of the turret close to the gun, and the part of the hull under the turret has a small viewport. the front of the hull has a wide armor panel applied to the bottom of it. the sponsons of the IFV are made up of sections of a thick, wide triangle that extends beyond the rear exit doors. the rear exit has a small two-step ladder under it. the sponsons each have what looks like an air intake and two exhaust pipes sticking on top of the rear side, as well as turn signals at the rearmost parts. the cylindrical part of the hull roof has what looks like two periscopes, a giant quarter-circle exit hatch, and some other panels on the roof. a long radio antenna sticks out of the hull roof, tied down by another antenna attached to one of the sponsons. there's cylindrical side exit doors under the sponsons, between the two front wheels and the four rear wheels. the IFV is going left and slightly into the horizon, so there's a good view of the rear of the vehicle and 5 out of the 6 total wheels. since the wheels are rolling, the details of the inside of the wheels are blurred. the wheels are attached to bent arms on the bottom of the hull as well as pistons sticking out the sides of the hull. mechanical designer is (probably?) hideaki anno

blegh, i forgot to draw exactly 1 light on the right sponson last night. clearly i wasn't in my right mind.

that's most of the details done!
not having a specs writeup for this vehicle really bothers me. the autocannon sorta reminds me of some 37mm guns design-wise, but i'm not sure about the exact size of the gun. i don't trust my writing skill to describe my drawings, so specs help with that

an artist i've admired for a long time just released their first VN and, um. gosh, the pain was exquisite. the art was so good. i think i was crying the whole time i was reading
the connection better wear off, otherwise i'm going to go nuts

this one might take a while to get done
i couldn't find the settei again. and there's differences in details between scenes, like antennae positions or part of the hull being different shapes.
maybe this is what it feels like to draw real AFVs with huge amounts of variation, like the sherman...

i really appreciate this part of the night where nothing's really happening. the morning posts are getting harder to follow and i'm worried i missed a lot of mecha art

i saw people using this anime bingo card a few days ago and felt it might be fun to fill out. my taste outside of old mecha anime seems to be extremely questionable, though... maybe it's like having tunnel vision?
a bingo card of popular anime that one has watched between 2006 and 2024. it seems that i watched significantly less anime from 2013 to 2021, and i watched 0 anime from 2019 and 2020. there's a text printout of the bingo card included on the website, but it's too long to put in an alt text section image source: https://anime-sedai.egoist.dev/

i accomplished my goal of doing a quicker drawing, but i think i still ended up overcomplicating it. drawing a convincing starry sky while pretending that the colors are inverted is surprisingly hard...
drawing of jiron amos from combat mecha xabungle on a monobike and staring at the night sky, facing away from the viewer. the drawing largely consists of white lines on a black background. since the bike doesn't have a kickstand, jiron has his left foot on the ground and his left hand on one of the handles to prevent the bike from falling over. jiron's right arm is limp from it breaking in episode 1. there are two shooting stars going left across the sky, over some mountains in front of jiron i couldn't find settei or credits for the monobike, but it's the monobike that jiron struggles to ride one-armed in episode 2 of xabungle. its design borrows a bit from mopeds while being much more bulky, with two big exhaust pipes next to the turn signals on the back. it is drawn somewhat inconsistently from scene to scene, so the drawing takes a few creative liberties. if you happen to know the bike's model name and designer, please tell them to me (the designer is probably kunio okawara or yoshiyuki tomino but i want to be 100% sure) jiron amos is designed by tomonori kogawa same drawing as the previous one, but without image editing. so the drawing is black lineart on a white background, instead of white lineart on a black background

god damn it, jiron amos! why does none of your settei have a straight-on view of your ass?!

is it okay to post images with this?
even with pen and paper drawings, knowing some image editing stuff can be useful. for example, inverting the colors on your art could create a cool effect, or let you make a night scene without manually coloring the sky.
qrp with your loading screen art tip!
a drawing of the armc instead armored vehicle from taiyou no kiba dougram. it's drawn isometrically with the hull facing left-down and the turret pointing directly left. so you can see the top, front and left sides of the hull as well as the top and left sides of the turret. five of the eight wheels are visible, and the two front wheels are turned to the left to face the viewer. the hull has two viewports for crewmen but they seem to share a single, rectangular exit hatch. the visible underside parts of the hull are hard-shaded black. the relatively small turret has a cupola with front and side viewports for a gunner. the turret is only armed with a fairly thin-looking linear cannon, although there are mounting points on its left and right side for rocket pods. there's also what looks like holes for machine gun ports, but these are either optics or just don't have anything in them. there are pairs of bent metal bars on the back of the turret and hull where you'd usually see storage baskets. they don't look super practical for storing equipment, so they seem more like charm points to separate them from real-world AFVs. info taken from: https://www.mahq.net/armc/ Unit type: armored vehicle Manufacturer: Bromley Armament: linear cannon x 1 Optional turret armament: double anti-air gun x 1, 15-tube rocket pod x 1, 4-tube recoilless gun x 1, missile x 2, linear cannon x 1 with 7-tube rocket pod x 2, machine gun x 1 Original mechanical designer: Kunio Okawara the colors on this image have had their contrast increased before being converted, making the background black and the lineart white. this is sorta similar to how some machine and architecture blueprints have white linework rough sketch of someone on a monobike staring at the sky, facing away from the viewer. since the bike doesn't have a kickstand, the rider has their left leg on the ground and their left hand on one of the handles to prevent the bike from falling over. the rider's right arm seems to be limp. there are two shooting stars going across the sky rough sketch of someone on a monobike staring at the sky, facing away from the viewer. since the bike doesn't have a kickstand, the rider has their left leg on the ground and their left hand on one of the handles to prevent the bike from falling over. the rider's right arm seems to be limp. there are two shooting stars going across the sky the colors on this sketch got inverted. combined with a light source present at the top of the image, inverting the colors gives the sketch a black sky with a grey-ish terrain.

this drawing will be of the mecha show that i'm currently watching! it might not make any sense... i misremembered this scene as taking place during the night, but when i double-checked the episode i realized it took place closer to sunset

this turned out pretty alright, actually. especially the explosion effects.
i recommend watching mospeada if you're looking for a mecha anime with a varied soundtrack, since the story plays around with music as a theme. i didn't vibe with it as much as macross, though.
a drawing of jim warston from mospeada evading fire from an inbit eager mecha. there's motion lines going to the left of the horizon, which has a few mountains. jim is driving an att-30 all-terrain troop jeep. the att-30 has four wheels and is typically only armed with a machine gun port for the front passenger. jim is turning the jeep left to avoid a volley of plasma fire behind him, so only the right side wheels and a bit of the left front wheel are visible. there's some lines under the wheels indicating dust being kicked up. info taken from: https://www.mahq.net/att-30 Unit type: all-terrain jeep Manufacturer: Mars Base Total dry weight: 1.7 metric tons Total length: 4.1 meters Total height: 2.2 meters Total width: 1.8 meters Primary engine: liquid hydrogen internal combustion engine x 1 Fuel capacity: standard HBT cell x 3 HBT supply: 300 hours (12 days) operational use Max road speed: 150.0 km/h Max cross country speed: 50.0 km/h Max water speed: 5.0 km/h Fording depth: 1.5 meters Armament: 60mm machine gun x 1, 6-tube rocket launcher x 1 Driver(s): Jim Warston, Yellow Belmont, Darjeeling, Mint Labule, Gomez the mechanical designer is likely shinji aramaki. jim was apparently designed by yoshitaka amano, which surprised the hell out of me... the eager is a wide, squat, crabbed-shaped mecha with flight capabilities. eagers are armed with two claws, but the 2nd model also has two plasma cannons on its back. the one here has fired 6 plasma shots at jim, with four of them causing huge explosions in the background. info taken from: https://www.mahq.net/eager-2ndgen Unit type: mass production combat mecha Manufacturer: Inbit Total dry weight: 4.5 metric tons Total length: 3.25 meters Total height: 2.5 meters Total width: 3.75 meters Primary engine: vector thruster x 1 Max level speed (atmosphere): 992.0 km/h Max running speed: 64.0 km/h Minimum hover speed: 0 km/h Armament: claw x 2, plasma cannon x 2 the mechanical designer is likely to be hideki kakinuma

i've been wondering if i should try implementing ground motion lines like this. the effect is neat, but it also seems incredibly easy to mess up.
groups of lines pointing to a horizon vanishing point, separated into roughy two layers. the idea is to imply random ground debris moving and disappearing into the horizon, as if the ground were in motion even though the image is actually static.
