You know the longer I look at this, the more it looks like what you might expect if Amemiya had done a guest design for Zone of the Enders
@patzprime.bsky.social was lucky enough to go home with one of the pieces he drew!

Me driving in the rain
"Wow, I'm just like Sam Porter Bridges"
Me sitting on the edge of my bed after waking up
"Wow, just like Sam"
Me taking a shower
"Me and Sam, same guy"

I know I've spent too much time playing Death Stranding 2 this week when I'm walking to the post office and had a moment where I'm like "Wow I'm just like Sam"

So my first Anime NJ++ is in the can and all in all I had a very positive experience. It's been a long while since I've spent any significant time at a smaller convention, but this one felt extremely comfy to me — like a throwback to cons from 15 years ago! I hope it does well enough to keep going.
Anime NJ++ is off to an auspicious start for me. This was Keita Amemiya's autograph: an entirely freehand ink pen drawing of Zeiram! It was incredibly impressive watching him just whip this up inside of two minutes.

Everyone's watching the new Vince Gilligan show and I'm finishing the found footage horror movie I started last night and had to stop watching because I'm too old to start a movie past midnight anymore

All these years I thought The Fourth Kind was Paranormal Activity but with aliens
Instead it's like a high budget episode of A Haunting but even more fake and I'm down with that

So! I've been working on an original comic project, and it occurred to me that I can repurpose the character and mecha poses from the page layouts to make some model sheets. Since these roughs are based on comic panels, they're pretty perspective-y. Now to refine!
