Lyme disease is most prevalent in the United States and Europe.

Those erotica authors were no angels, did you know they were doing tax fraud?

Oh yeah we're totally not going to ever peek even a little at all your private communications even though we're now explicitly collecting them to feed into an LLM. It's a secure cloud environment!

I just picked up a relatively recent refurbished thinkpad with an ssd for a couple hundred off newegg. They have a few on there as low as $130.

Two of my very favorites. I think Castle in the Sky might be the first anime I ever saw.

Installed Mint on a thinkpad to mess around with. Any cool stuff I should put on it? I'll likely be using it as a portable workstation and movie device.

I recently started Bupropion too and it absolutely destroyed my appetite and made me very thirsty for a while. It evened out after a few weeks though and now I'm eating more normally, maybe a little bit less.

Literally economist brain. If they don't buy something because it's too expensive it's because it doesn't have sufficient utility to them.

I love how the game just unashamedly invites you to bust it wide open and do truly heinous combos. Great character designs and music too. What's your favorite clans so far?

Cavalry girls is honestly such a good game. At its most basic level, the mech combat is fun to control and satisfying. Lots of mechanics, but they do a really good job of introducing them over the course of the campaign, so it's not too overwhelming and they come in to heighten the core loop as it gets more routine. The mech customization is pretty in-depth and I feel like there's pretty good opportunity to try out a variety of builds and team compositions. The management layer isn't spectacular, but it serves to break up gameplay pretty well and there's a hint of something more to the relatively simple story.

The translation is not good, but excluding a few confusing item descriptions it's not hard to tell what's being communicated. There are maybe a few too many things to do in the management layer and I've found that there are some things I've been able to just ignore.

The character designs and intermittent comic sequences are fucking hilariously boobed up. To the point where it's more comedic than erotic to me - though I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to be a parody. Generally the tone of the game is fairly light and slightly humorous despite dealing with rather grim subject matter - although anything particularly awful is generally alluded to rather than confronted directly - and this plus the massive hoonkstangos can be a little dissonant.

All in all I'd recommend it if you're looking for a twin-stick shooter with character building and light management aspects. It's pretty cheap and the game shows you what it's about basically immediately, so it's worth a tryout if it sounds fun.

Also always interesting to see games out of China and their particular conventions and styles.

How the fuck is erotic roleplay supposed to help my OCD?

 

doin shading exercises and it's pretty remarkable the effect vs effort

 

What a lucky day it is!

Did you cats know about this? The ice gets pushed around by the waves and keeps refreezing so it forms a bunch of peaks and valleys. You can walk on it but you really shouldn't. Hard to tell where the ice is weak. Sometimes it forms little "volcanoes" where the water will splash out the top and stuff.

What are some unusual natural formations around you?

 

I drew a guy with a mustache and just kept going.

 

rides a dinosaur in a sci-fi style, part of a great horde that stretches across the alien steppe.

 

He turns into a bear when he gets hurt.

Messin around with diferent hair stuff. Don't really love any of it. Axe is too high on the neck. Line weight is more even though. Hands are less terrible than previous.

 

In the course of drawing this I realized that I could have been using the selection lasso to mask areas to paint the entire time I have been using this fucking program. I don't know why it didn't dawn on me before that that might be really nice for these watercolor brushes.

Anyway these ladies claim to be literal descendants of the Sun. Maybe they're right, I dunno.

Messing around with the gradient was fun. I still think my backgrounds are mostly bad, but at least there's something kinda cool going on.

 

This guy is a thunder priest who also turns into a bear, also he's one of the larger and stronger humans called a Chud. It's pronounced like chood though I think. The previous character, the Son of Heaven, is also a Chud, but he's part of the settled side of the Rus, whereas this is a woods type of guy.

I'm really enjoying this little project. I can feel my confidence with these brushes growing a lot and the successive drawings going much more smoothly and faster. I let myself get a little more fun with the pose since the last one was looking pretty staid.

The Rus Series continues with this fella. I think it didn't turn out very well, but I redid the coloring once and at some point you gotta move on. His foreshortened arm is really fucked up too, oh well.

I'm hoping that when put next to the smaller characters he'll look more impressive. At a certain point he was supposed to have some intricate embroidery, but I couldn't really make it work with these brushes. Maybe I'll go back at some point, or maybe I will not.

More from the Rus series.

Still would love to find some really good watercolor brushes for Krita, but what I have sorta work; I did get a new inking brush today that I used here and I quite like.

It's interesting trying to imagine the fashion of a fantasy people based on pre-Viking Baltics and western Russia. The historical record is pretty limited to nonexistant that I could find before ~900. I like his little drape thing though, the pattern turned out quite nice - I tried to make it feasible to produce by weaving.

 

More dominions fanart, want to do a bigger piece with the EA Rus lineup. Have been having trouble getting sources about what the arms and armor or fashion of pre-Viking East Slavic and Baltic peoples were, but I did my best. I know it's very loose, but there's something about the character of my sketches that I really miss when I render them.
