the "man of japanese heritage" is sentenced to gajillion bad and whitewashed portraits for his views)0 not tagging it for the same reasons

text and bonus pic (creepy faces) below

today's line of action. was slow, the fella has 1 leg lol. but i like the longest one

bonus pic: small face practice from earlier. i didn't intend to make them so eerie, i hope some day i will overcome this stage and will be able to draw normal faces, but i have fun even now. i need to figure out eyes size and placement though.

3 hours after i posted this i have encountered a cute lady that required my assistance in my office building!

it's not the next year yet and it wasn't that kind of assistance ofc but still nice! new year magic or smth ✨

seen a post about "yule boasting" - a tradition of publicly making "new year's resolutions" of unrealistic nature that will not be accomplished. fast google search did provide some mentions of a boasting tradition as a part of yule celebration but not enough details for me to consider the post accurate. however, i like the idea and if the yule boasting tradition didn't exist in that particular form before, now it does bc i am going to partake - feel free to join!

so, the deeds i will accomplish in 2025:

- draw the boss from metal gear smiling with joy and tenderness, a picture so good that the indomitable will itself will descend onto me and possess me, and a glimmer of it will be visible to anyone who lay eyes on the drawing

- sing 100 songs, quiet and loud, in privacy and in company of other people, friends and strangers

- please 100 ladies in sexual way, or please a lesser amount of ladies 100 times in total

- slay a number of foes in real life and thus prove myself worthy and earn the right to marry the old fashioned way

- feast on 100 meals (vegan)

- observe 100 wild beasts, big and small

- lift 100 stones (mostly small)

- read 10 good books (not 100, not that unrealistic lol)

- love 100 people: strangers, project partners, friends, romantic partners, family and foes

- find a decent and bearable reason to live that doesn't make me frustrated lol

feel free to post your own yule boasting, while arguably useless it is fun and sincere!

miller yawning, circa 1973

i tried to do the pose myself and found it inconvenient and to face the higher lifted arm while stretching my back, but didn't want to redraw it that much

also i know he's not that bulky but it's just using him as a placeholder character tbh

considering the new ultrakill death screen with the attempt to vocalise something and the emotional lines, the eye image, the fact v1 had a text thought during the second v2 encounter (before that i used to think it has no voice bc it doesn't need to be able to think in words at all) and what hakita said about thinking why all the machines bleed, i think it is now pretty obvious that the gutterman human tech is implemented in many of them to say the least.

which allows one to think that v1 might be the player, in a way: a human molded into the machine shape, stripped of the rudimentary functions like speech and given the new cool functions useful for slaughter.

considering v1 isn't the only machine cutting deep into hell pursuing fuel, it is also possible to assume that it's a new one every time you die. not very convincing but fun (to me).

did 1 hour line of action today with two friends. not good but whatever, i'm trying to get into doing it daily again

featuring an ugly liner drawing of a kitten

tried to use a liner instead of pencil today. it was fun for short ones but starting with 5 minutes i felt like im wasting time since i couldn't "fix" the lines that were already there and adding new ones would just look dirty, so i returned to pencil. i like the 10 minute drawing more than the 25 minute one but it was enjoyable sketching that guy, his body breaks into nice shapes and his poses entertaining to capture.

6 millers and one miller lips closeup in, i don't think i will make it to 50 lol

still worth it tho, having fun and already getting better at it (or so it seems)

me when i die in a rocket raid but the rockets were launched from a place called "miller's", or smth. just like in my japanese videogames 🥴
