Heaven or Hell! Let's Rock!
Hi, I'm Max! This blog is mostly reblogs and doesn't have much of a coherent theme. Expect lots of Guilty Gear, animal photos, and some fantasy and sci-fi art. But really, mostly it's just stuff I see and go "neat!"
Likes may be NSFW.
I sporadically paint fantasy minatures which I post here and on @fantastic-toysoldiers.

I know that its not actually that hard to learn to draw. or paint. or cook. or learn to speak a new language. or code. or any of a myriad of other possible skills or hobbies. but at some point you need to pick some single digit number of those ten thousand things that anyone can do, and to everything else say "i have other priorities" because otherwise you will never do any of them.
and so i think when people say "i wish i could..." they usually don't believe that they couldn't do it if they really tried, or even that they've overestimated the difficulty of doing so. I think what they're really wishing for is that time and energy were not finite quantities and that everything that was worth doing could also be done. because it's cosmically unfair that that isn't so.

I always thought it’s a reference to one of the *checks metal-archives* six metal bands named Sin.
Thoughts on the joke/HC that Ky named his son "Sin" because he was born out of wedlock?
Sin was conceived well after they got married, so it doesn't have any solid standing.
From Ky's Overture Material Collection short story, JUSTICE FOR WHO?:
Since she had no nationality and no family record, the Half-Gear could not legally marry. Ky, knowing that she wanted to propose, asked her to marry him first. The two exchanged vows of eternal love without public recognition.*
The two spent a year or so in happiness [...]. However, something happened to reawaken those feelings: his wife became pregnant.
[...]
Her abdomen had swelled to the size of a human halfway through pregnancy in about a week.
*This part is vaguely worded and they may not have been able to get an ordained priest to do the wedding for them, but I still think Ky would have found a way to stick to the ritual of it and make it official enough that he wouldn't feel like it would sit bad with God.
I think Sin's name probably comes from the Japanese word for "new," しん ("Shin"), because his name in Japanese has the same pronunciation, シン. He was promo'd pretty hard alongside Sol back when Overture was the new game.
A headcanon for his name that I think is really funny/sounds almost plausible is Ky teaching Dizzy about his religion and her getting caught up on the concept and motifs of sinning. Like maybe Ky told her about how Jesus absolved everyone of sin and she just thought that was kinda neat or something lol

Ooh, I've seen the painting that this is referencing on my copy of Iwein. I never knew that it was meant to be a different knight!
Laios, devourer of all things horrible.

all my advice about using real athletes to learn drawing bodies beyond hard abs, and my particular pref being wrestlers, also applies to women btw. you can draw women who r strong and not an hourglass shape. fucking do it.
kris statlander, rhea ripley (look at her SHAPE), willow nightingale, ruby soho, these r just four off the top of my head that have obvious musculature and different body types. skye blue and julia hart have more slim cheerleader style bodies as well, i REALLY wanted to put emi sakura who is fucking STOUT (adoring) in this post but i couldn't find a good demonstrative pic, the list goes on
DRAW DIFFERENT BODIESSSSSSSS

New headcanon: Dutch people sell stuff on the street to celebrate International Hyena Day!
Today is King's Day in the Netherlands, and one of the strange customs of the natives is to celebrate the king's birthday by letting everyone sell things on the street without a permit.
Almost all of it is trash though and probably most of the crap that doesn't get sold goes straight into the container.
I got some books to not leave empty-handed. One is by Cees Noteboom. Because I'm an uncultured swine, I know nothing about him except that my dad has a German translation of the book.
I also got a homemade waffle!

Happy International Hyena Day to those who celebrate!!
my inbox and twitter both informed me that not only does International Hyena Day exist, but that it’s today! I couldn’t let this important occasion go by without drawing something, and I finished this just in time with only an hour to spare. Happy special day to these four special creatures.
(from left to right: brown hyena, striped hyena, spotted hyena, aardwolf)
(it’s also apparently World Tapir Day! Another special animal. But I ran out of drawin’ juice and out of time. I’m so sorry, tapirs. I still love you, I promise)

This is the third part of the fourth part of our four(ish) part (Ia, Ib, IIa, IIb, IIIa, IIIb, IVa, IVb) look at the how the Roman military system and its manipular legion were able to defeat the Hellenistic military system and its Macedonian sarisa phalanx in the third and second centuries BC.
Never change, Bret!

Huh, I kinda have the opposite reaction. Civ 6 should look silly and cartoonish because civ games are silly and cartoonish. Civ 5 looks way too pretentious.
also was looking at civ 6 on the wiki, and i think it's very funny that they made the decision to make a game that looks absolutely terrible. like as bad as it is, at least civ 5 looks good! it's a got an Aesthetic! it's leaning hard into the whole Whig History/Ladder of Progress thing with the art deco style and the music and the unit portraits that feels like it's not just self-aware, but on purpose. and civ 6 is somehow even uglier than 4 or 3.
someone put this series out of its misery already
