Gochujang and Soy sauce is an elixir of joy.

Thanks. Sorry.

I am engaging in attention-seeking behavior.

I feel like crying myself to death.

شكرا لك.

I keep trying to translate into Arabic, but it’s a really bad translation. May God protect you and your loved ones. A new day will dawn eventually and I’m sorry I can’t offer more comfort than that.

Thanks to 1080 Avalanche for that.

Okay Boysetsfire actually rocks so good though.

Hassan cancelled.

I had trouble staying with the Afghanistan one too and ultimately didn’t finish. The new one is really good though! I still have trouble focusing, but my personal interest in the region helps. In a previous lifetime (feels like) I studied southeast Asia specifically. My now deceased mentor was an absolute conservative, but it was easy to tell he really loved the region. He would dote on his wife, a Thai, and the one time I visited his office it was just full of little carved elephants and other objects. He was very insistent on calling it Burma, which I still don’t get. I think probably his politics were terrible, but he really tried to get his classes to think and argue with him. He was the first person to tell me I was right about Israel being apartheid.

Sorry, ended up being really sentimental. Season’s real good though, check it out.

Two thoughts on the bew blowback season. They should have learned to say Khmer correctly. It’s Kuh-my or closer to one syllable. Small thing but you know. Second, my first introduction to Cambodia was via Boysetsfire covering a Dead Kennedys song.

Someone ping me when Coffee comes on. Look of Silence was just screened recently and I can’t do it again.

You should be sussing out every person you talk to and prompting them to acknowledge it. So. Many. People. Just need a social push.

I have found two anti-genocide people at the cornerstore just by vaguely gesturing at the thing. It’s good to engage your neighbors.

Mecha-Garurumon for the name alone

Trying to keep up with my French, anyone know good resources or maybe an easy book to read that’s also good?

I’ll echo the response that it could be weighted too far forward, but that could also be used with appropriate arms and head to convey an aggressive posture. If it’s cohesive with other sprites, some detail or shading on the body could be nice.

Thematically and as fanart, I think the composition is a fun interpretation, especially since there is plenty of room for non-canonical depiction. Still think I could have conveyed more of the ever-beating motion of this hour, perhaps with a totally different approach to coloring and with creating some more skillfull static indications of repeated motion. Perhaps a concentric series of light lines around the edges?

Dipped my toe into the laborious well of pointilist shading for the rim of the heartflesh for this one and did a lot more hatching that’s obscured. Good practice.

I feel mid about how this turned out, but I like the composition (could use more figures though) and it’s nice to challengle myself to do a little more stylistic work, in regard to more shape and less detail - also just not a portrait.

Not super convinced by my “watercolor” work on the heartflesh. It’s servicable, but I think it could have worked better with the rest. The pine needle silhouettes are barely passable and I should have taken more time there.
