Raynos joins the crew! Such a nice and straight-forward build <3
Size comparison next to HMM Empire Zero and Tomy Liger Zero plus Cannon Tortoise as well ^-^b
Full pic of the Zoids on the mantle! Pretty much full until I can get proper shelving for these guys <3

bc zoids was my first ever mecha obsession it only makes sense to smoosh zoids and ac6 together and im thinking of the types of zoids the ac6 characters would pilot...
C4-621: HOUNDSOLDIER
It suits 621 bc this is a mass-produced ZOID but is a solid performer... ALSO DOG REFERENCE. I did look at the bird Zoids but none of them really matched 621 really... I wanted to stick to a ZOID that was deemed 'basic' in terms of like, it's a dime a dozen, just to fit with LOADER 4.
RUSTY: COMMAND WOLF
Aside from the wolf motif, Command Wolf fits Rusty because it's a very adaptable and decent ZOID. You can easily switch out its armament, and it's one of the fastest land-based ZOIDs around. Also, again, wolf motif. Rusty would pilot the SHIT out of this and put a symbolic muzzle on it too why not
FREUD: GATLING FOX
Listen. I just like the look of this thing and Freud would definitely pilot it. Mortars launched from its tail? Giant fuck off gatling cannon its spine? Dual cannons on its shoulders? Sure yeah why not.
IGUAZU: DOUBLE SWORDER
There are slim pickings for insect ZOIDs but this one is definitely Iguazu, if only bc it has the mandibles like the ants in his design but is also a beetle... also he could be that fucker that'd have a land-based ZOID that could also fly like a little bitch or stick to ceilings.
MICHIGAN: DREI PANTHER
I honestly did think about going for the bull ZOIDs or something, but in the end he's Liger tail, and while the drei panther ain't a liger, I think it suits him well enough with the dakka dakka and the great spinning shields of death. Hell on four legs indeed.
AYRE: RAINBOW JERK
This is the only pretty bird ZOID that doesn't stand like it doesn't have knees, and Ayre deserves to have a pretty ZOID okay.
WALTER: XENO REX
Since dinosaur ZOIDs are a Pretty Big Deal with HAL itself is basically a C-Weapon, I went with Xeno Rex just to reflect that. Also t-rexes are cool.
ALLMIND: GENO BREAKER
I wouldn't mind ALLMIND picking me up in her giant t-rex robot pincers like i'm a bug tbh
#armored core#armored core 6#my inner furry vibrating at the speed of light bc UGH imagine everyone piloting animal mecha#the running gag of 621 being called raven when he pilots a dog mech#actually most of the AC names would work really#headbringer for iguazu's double sworder...#steel haze for command wolf...#locksmith for...... ok no one actually understands why freud calls his zoid that#loader 4 for houndsoldier.... 621 says its bc it was originally a forklift zoid#no one can tell if he's joking or not

rereading your works once more and I'm obsessing over how Getou is using curse!reader's shampoo?? What a guy!
i stared at this ask for 5 mins trying to figure out what you were talking about. i totally forgot i wrote that yan getou piece 😭 he is so creepy!!
#++ asks#a real creep-a-zoid#….#i’m thinking about yan getou who’s a stalker now#who is so obsessed and enamored w/you#that he has to match everything you do just to feel a little bit closer to you#he switches to the same brand of toothpaste of yours#the same body soap#same lotion#same hair wash#he brushes his hair as many times as you do#sometimes he even copies your hairstyle#no matter how intricate and difficult it may be to do#he copies your diet#he copies everything about you until the line begins to blur - the line of whether he wants to take you#or be you#LOL

My cyberpunk ttrpg character is starting to shape up kind of neat I need to like figure out what he actually does game mechanics wise but he likes to make robot dogs because dogs are easier to work with than people and robot dogs are even better because he doesn't have to take them outside

Nero would absolutely flip when he loses his first Zoid. Screaming, angsty, bad attitude; and he’s gonna be focused on getting back at the Zoid that wrecked it. And he’ll want to tame that sucker and pilot it himself because he’s Like That. I personally think that’s neat of him to go through.
Oh and he’s keeping the robot arm because it completely makes sense in this universe for people to have mech parts. Hey, wait. Cyborgs?!
#Ooze speaks#DMC x Zoids crossover#meanwhile Nico is running some damage control while partly ignoring his temper#and V's new to everything so he won't know what to do except speak cryptically and overstep in doing so#ah yes my brain is radioactive with visuals

Random Ossan's love returns details that I love!
People who've just woken up actually looking like it.
Haruta loves his Zoids.
They use a calendar from work. A tissue box, too.
Takegawa-san's rainbow files 🌈
Takegawa-san's dating app adventures and how his swipes reflect his character. Like someone actually bothered to write all these profiles. He matched with a guy who writes poetry, btw. Swiped left on many men including a guy who likes darts on the weekends, which was funny considering darts seems to be Haruta's thing.
Haruta's colourful underwear. He really is that person.
They have a shampoo hat and a foot scrub. Haruta so would buy those.
Colour coded towels and bath stools, I'm crying. They also have colour coded phone cases.
Their gaming controllers, gaming chair, board games! We know they have all these hobbies together without being shown it in a specific scene.
This book on disaster prevention. Such a sign of just having moved in!
Haruta and Maki always wear their rings. :(
The housekeeper ranks aksjakdsj. They're as follows:
Unicorn: Top class housekeeper with qualifications in housekeeping, caregiving and pets as well as experience in working with celebrities.
Thoroughbred: A housekeeper with qualifications in housekeeping, caregiving and pets.
Carriage horse: A qualified housekeeper
Horse: A housekeeper with no qualifications
The service plans are Pegasus Plan, Yabusame (horseback archery) Plan and Pony Plan.
And that's just the first episode! This show is so well done, please give it a shot if you'd like! I've subbed the first episode here and working on the rest.

NSFW Vash x F!Reader headcanons/drabble (Bottom Ver.)
~~~♡♡♡~~~
~~~♡♡♡~~~
Y'all saw this coming. Now it is here. Let us rejoice. Not fully headcanons, not exactly drabble, it's more similar to the Wolfwood headcanon post where it's part headcanon/part fanfic, just please enjoy the feast. Warning: You gon' get sad, feel warm and fluffy, and probably get horny at the same time. I hope you're prepared for that roller coaster. (Btw this applies to both 2023 and 1998 versions)
~~~♡♡♡~~~
• You and Vash have been travelling together for a LOOOOOONG time. Like, enough to where you both know each other like the back of your hands, like you know each others' blood types, your favorite things, what you dislike, what the other is thinking, etc. (I like to think in this, you're also part plant, so you guys have been traveling together for the longest time, like 60 years or something, WAY before the gang showed up).
• You two were so close, people already thought you were dating or married. You'd have to explain that you're both just partners.
• but deep down, you wish it was more. And what you didn't know is that Vash thought that too.
• it was always a 'will they, won't they?' thing with you two. You two knew you loved each other, people could easily tell you two were in love, but neither of you thought the other felt the same way.
• you love how kind and protective he is, how he's willing to risk his life to save anyone in danger, even though that frustrated you to no end. You also love how much of a goofball he is, he always made you laugh just by being himself. You even love his dumbass moments, sometimes.
• Vash loved you because of how caring, strong, and sweet you are, you saved him from a group of bandits when you first met by finding him tied to a pole and freeing him, treating his wounds once you two were far away. Your hands were so gentle, he could tell you weren't a violent person.
• Vash loved your smile, your laugh, your voice, everything. He fell for you almost immediately. Like, hard. Smitten, infatuated, bedazzled, just head over heels in love with you. He could never say it though, for....reasons.
• you also loved everything about Vash. The way his hair shone in the sunlight, those smiles he always gave you each time you saw him, you even love that goofy 'love and peace' thing he always did.
• Milly was so happy that you were in love and wanted you two to be happy.
• Meryl wanted that too, but she didn't see what made you fall for that idiotic freak-o-zoid.
• Nick was going all, "Oh Jesus Christ, just PROPOSE ALREADY! I'll officiate it even, just fucking quit with the lovey-dovey shit, goddamn..." whenever Vash gushed about you to him when they were alone.
• Roberto said he didn't care and it wasn't his business, but deep down, he thought that as long as Vash didn't break your heart, he would give his blessing. If he did, he'd show up with a sawed-off shotgun. (You and Roberto had developed a kind of father/daughter relationship)
• everything changed one night when you and Vash finished helping people in a town and you both decided to stay at the inn.
• but it seemed someone already reserved a room for you two. Some priest with two women and a man drinking from his flask.
• you and Vash looked at each other and smiled, both thinking 'well aren't they so nice!'
• the issue was...when you got in the room, there was only one bed.
• goddammit, of course they planned this...
• Vash blushed and started to say that he didn't mind sleeping on the floor and wanted you to be in the bed.
• but once it was bedtime, you walked over to the bed, got in, opened the blanket up, looked at Vash, and patted the spot next to you on the bed. There was enough room for two, after all. And you didn't mind if it was him.
• Vash's blush got even redder and his heart started to race at the idea of being in the same bed with you.
• but after seeing your reassuring smile, he caved and got into the bed with you.
• you both just looked at each other, staring, both of your hearts racing and your faces were flushed.
• something deep inside you felt it was time, time to finally confess. There was no better time to do it.
• but neither of you could speak. You tried, but you ended up going silent.
• but you both inched closer to each other, your faces getting closer. It was like your bodies knew what to do, so they automatically did it.
• you closed your eyes, slowly leaned in, and finally...you kissed.
• it was a tender, slow, and soft kiss. One that wasn't intense, but oh, so full of love. You both melted into it and ended up wrapping your arms around each other.
• the kiss did start to get a bit intense as it went on, though. The soft moans escaping both of your lips drove you to the point where Vash got on top and where you started to lift his shirt and he started to unbutton yours.
• but all of a sudden, he stopped and broke the kiss, pulling back from you.
• "I can't..." he said breathily as his face started to look bereft.
• "Why?" You ask softly. You wanted to know what was stopping him. Was he scared? Was he nervous? Was it something else?
• That's when Vash started to cry, a few tears fell on your cheek.
• "I don't deserve you..."
• you were surprised, concerned, and confused at the same time. "Why don't you deserve me?" You asked.
• he then talks about how he feels he's not worthy of being loved, because of all the horrible things he'd done, including stuff he did before he met you.
• you knew about his past, but you didn't think any of it was his fault.
• but then you remembered something.
• you remembered a few times where Vash was forced to kill people who were threatening your life and/or other people's lives. He must've also had to have done that before he met you.
• then the memory of the time he tried to save you and another woman came to mind.
• a gunslinger grabbed both of you and tried to run off with you, but Vash wasn't letting that slide. He ran after the man until he got him cornered.
• Vash had his gun pointed at the kidnapper and the man had a knife to your throat. Vash knew there was no way to get you out of this without blood being spilt.
• so he looked for an opening and when he found it, he fired.
• but the man ended up quickly moving the other woman closer to him, using her as a human shield, fatally wounding them both.
• that broke Vash. You still could see him trying to fix the woman's wound and try to get her to stay alive. You remembered the woman putting her hand on his, stopping him, and smiling. You could still hear the painful yell he let out when she finally died...
• that night in your tent where you held him as he broke down crying, begging for forgiveness and begging you to not leave him or hate him was one of the most painful nights you've experienced.
• you knew he was a pacifist, never wanting to take a life. He understood that in certain situations in this world, it was necessary, but it still haunted him.
• no matter what happened, he almost always ended up with blood on his hands.
• That's why he felt he didn't deserve you...he felt he didn't deserve happiness and love for what he'd done...and it's haunted him all these years...
• you reach your hand out and caress his cheek while wiping his tears away with your thumb.
• you smiled warmly and kissed him again, as a way to comfort him, to tell him you still loved him regardless.
• once you both broke, he was stunned. He just stared at you and said, "Y..You still...after all I've done, you still love me..?"
• you nodded.
• he hugged you tightly and cried in your chest. In response, you held him close and petted the back of his head, letting him cry.
• you could hear him saying softly and tearfully, "I love you...I love you...please forgive me..please don't leave me.."
• you said you did forgive him and you promised that you'd stay with him forever, saying you loved him too, which caused him to hug you tighter.
• after a bit of hugging and crying, Vash looked up at you and you both stared at each other for a few moments.
• you both knew what you wanted.
• he wanted to repay you for your love and kindness and show you how much he loved you, you wanted to show him how much he's loved and deserves to be loved.
• and you both knew what could do just that.
• hey, sometimes sex can be a last resort to make someone smile.
• you said softly, "are you sure?"
• He nods. "As long as it's you, then...I'm okay with it.." His eyes said it all. He wanted you, needed you, and he didn't care how he got it.
• you pulled him to you and kissed him softly but deeply.
• During the kiss, you turned him over so you were on top of him.
• as some soft moans escaped your mouths, you both undressed each other.
• you then broke the kiss and see all the scars along his body.
• Large gashes, bullet wounds, knife marks, scars from stitches, and where his metal arm connected to his shoulder. He had been through pure hell just to save people.
• he always felt insecure about his scars, so he always kept them hidden.
• instead of trying to hide himself away, he just laid there, letting you look. It looked like he trusted you enough to where he felt okay if you saw them.
• you smile and kiss him again, this time a bit deeper.
• you could feel your lower half starting to warm up just from kissing this man.
• and you could feel something of his starting to grow against your leg..
• you broke the kiss to kiss his neck, then down his chest, then kissing each scar he had on his body, showing you loved all of him, imperfections and all.
• hearing his soft whimpers and moans of pleasure was music to your ears.
• "mm...ah.."
• you kiss down his abs, then start to go towards his groin, then you carefully pull his pants down and reveal his cock.
• you remember seeing it on accident once when he was changing, but never like this, and especially not erect and throbbing.
• you noticed how soft the skin felt in your hand, how hot it felt. You knew he wasn't human, so there was not a single hair in sight down there.
• it had a lovely reddish-pink head and a few visible veins, but they didn't pop out.
• and his size and length were pretty good too.
• with how gorgeous he was, it only made sense he had a cock to match.
• let's just say it's a 9/10.
• you saw his reactions were of embarrassment, as he covered his face with his hand.
• "You ok?" "Yeah..it's just...I'm shy..."
• with that, you started to gently rub the shaft.
• he started to breathe heavily and gripped the bedsheet. You could tell it felt good by the look on his face.
• you watched as a bead of precum dripped down his shaft and you gently lick it up, causing him to gasp softly.
• it was an oddly sweet yet slightly bitter taste.
• you decide to keep going and lick up his shaft slowly.
• you could feel his cock throb against your tongue and you could hear him moaning softly and trying not to writhe too much.
• "Y/N...*moan*..."
• you give the head a few kisses then you swirl your tongue around it, licking up any more precum dripping out.
• soon, you slide the head into your mouth and gently suck on it, to get his reaction.
• he gasped softly and he gripped onto the bedsheet harder.
• you slide more of his cock in your mouth, soon getting a good amount of him in your mouth without gagging.
• he starts to moan and as you suck, you feel him start to thrust his hips a tiny bit out of instinct.
• you start to bob your head up and down as you sucked on him.
• he soon put his hands on your head, cautiously trying not to grip, just keeping them there for purchase.
• soon enough, you felt his cock start to twitch and throb more and you heard him speak softly.
• "Y/N, I...I'm...nghh...HAAH..!"
• with that, he came, his cum flowing on your tongue and down your throat.
• you swallowed it all down, and if a few drops escaped, you licked them up because they tasted so good.
• he laid there, panting and trying to catch his breath. He saw as you licked your lips and he saw a bit of white on your tongue, which made his cock twitch and his blush grow.
• before you knew it, Vash had you lying on your back as he slid your panties down and tossed them aside, your cute pussy on full display.
• you had to admit, a part of you felt a bit shy about him looking at you nude. But the rest of you was too much in heat to really care.
• Vash grabbed your thighs and pushed your legs up so they were over his shoulders.
• then he dove right in and started to eat you out.
• but this wasn't in the masculine top energy kind of way, it was the 'pussy-drunk submissive femboy' kind of way. (..if that makes any sense)
• your mind started to get a bit hazy from the pure pleasure you were feeling, grabbing his hair to pull him closer to you.
• you could've sworn you heard him moan when you did that.
• this guy was addicted to your taste, like, he couldn't get enough. His eyes almost looked glazed over from how much he was lost in his desire.
• you softly gasped once he started to lick and suck on your clit
• he was relentless on your little bud
• soon enough, you felt your orgasm building up and then you saw stars in the back of your eyelids as you came hard.
• Vash's mouth was soaked with your juices and he drank it all up, licking up any drops he missed.
• now it was time for the main event.
• you had Vash lay back again and you got on top.
• you positioned yourself so your pussy lips would rub against the underside of his shaft as you bucked your hips.
• that's when Vash finally breaks.
• "Y/N, please...I can't wait anymore..please put it in..I want to be inside you so bad..please..I want you...I want to feel you..I want what only you can give me..please..!"
• tears are in the corner of his eyes, he was serious. Poor baby needed you so badly.
• How can you say no to that face?
• As you align his cock to your opening, he's watches with anticipation and amazement.
• and he sees as you slide him in with ease
• the shock of pleasure up his spine makes him turn his head from side to side, trying to handle the pleasure until he finally moans out.
• you couldn't help but moan too once you reached the base of his cock, feeling him reach so deep inside you.
• he puts his hands on your hips to keep you on, and also for him to hold on to something.
• you started to ride him, you started off slow to ease him in and soon, you find a pace that works great for you.
• both you and Vash were losing your sense of reality as the pleasure coursed through the both of you.
• it was like nothing else existed or mattered except the two of you, connected as one.
• it felt way too good..
• you can feel him hit the soft spongy bundle of nerves inside you that intensified the pleasure, causing you to moan more.
• and Vash was loving it.
• he couldn't help but thrust his hips to match your bounces.
• the pleasure was so intense that neither of you could say anything except moans.
• but it wasn't too long until he finally said something.
• "Y/N..! I..I can't..! I..I'm gonna..!"
• you tell him to go ahead and cum, let him fill you up, you needed to feel it
• with that, he cries out and cums inside you.
• each time his cum spurted out into you, your pussy convulsed as you came too, causing you to flinch.
• after a few minutes of the orgasm, you both relaxed and tried to catch your breath.
• you got off of him and laid next to him, not even caring about the mess you both made.
• you'd just pay extra for the cleaning once you left.
• Vash pulled you close to him and snuggled you close, his arms wrapped around you and his cheek resting on your chest.
• you pull up the covers and held him, your hand petting his messy hair.
• as you both basked in the strong afterglow, you hear him say softly, "Y/N..I love you so much..please don't ever leave me.."
• you kiss his forehead and say, "I won't. I promise."
• he smiles and quickly falls asleep, feeling so in love and so safe in your arms.
• you soon fall asleep too, feeling the happiest you've ever felt in your life.
• the next day, it wasn't long until the others found out about you two finally dating.
• the girls were asking so many questions because they knew you and Vash had done it by the looks on both your faces.
• Nick was just relieved that his plan worked. Roberto was just glad to see you so happy.
• later on, Vash had to talk with Nick about something.
• "Hey, um...if I asked Y/N to marry me..would you be able to officiate it..?"
• the smile on Nick's face said it all.

i answer your asks vol 4
-
I'm not american. I HAVE heard back from Inprnt re: the $180 i requested a withdrawal for in july. They say that this has been a common issue lately (no kidding). They cancelled my withdrawal request and made a new one, saying it was some sort of issue with paypal. Yeah idk I think I'll wait for this new request (and the final withdrawal too) to be fulfilled before they start to earn back any amount of goodwill from me.
-
I think that's an interesting progression for the technology but I don't believe it's the logical next era, even centuries down the line. What I see potentially occurring is the democratisation of smaller engines. The majority of Mercury enginesmiths make small engines - and bear in mind that an 'engine' can be thought of as a catch-all term for any magic device that runs on dragonsblood. Things like long distance messaging, basic calculators, astronomy tools, Sir Victory's arm, that sort of thing - any of these magics are built off the back of a small combustion engine. And these are far more easy to pass into the hands of the public (as many already are) than something huge and specialised that requires an army just to maintain it.
Think about the supersonic bomber aircraft race during the cold war that brought about planes like the valkyrie - incredible technology, sure, but it wasn't replaced by a faster better plane, it was replaced by long-distance missiles that fulfilled the role better. It is more feasible that the Mezian church would develop more efficient ways to get their dragonsblood fuel than using holy beasts at all. The holy beasts are more likely to be made obsolete by some kind of, idk, harpoon with siphon kind of thing than a zoid type beast.
I can't speak about the conservation status of dragons but one of the main duties of an alchemist within the church is to handle fuel, and lately there have been new orders to synthesise a viable alternative to dragonsblood. Not because of a dragonsblood shortage (although there is one, this order came before that) but because dragonsblood is still too accessible to everyone else. A fully proprietary fuel even more absolutely under their control would solve a lot of problems for the church.
-
Church doctrine states that it is bone ;)
-
if you mean Krokodilos/Crocodile, no, the size difference between Guinefort/Nosewyse and croc was huuuuge and their heads couldn't be interchangeable. Krokodilos is the longest (though not the tallest) holy beast and he's not a dragon, he is a crocodile :)
Saint Guinefort was beheaded for an unrelated reason.
Here I can make a little diagram. When I say Nosewyse is tiny I mean it is tiny.
Croc's head is small for his body size though. His skull was recovered only in fragments and the rest was artistic interpretation on the part of the armoursmiths who made the chassis.
I also discovered that Krokodilos's tail is exactly 1 Pantera long. The huge tail was shielded without the vertebrae left bare because it had to serve as a counterbalance for the rest of croc's body, so it had to be very heavy.
ngl Krokodilos was originally a joke holy beast because i saw that drawing of a crocodile where it looks Like That and went haha funny... I'm glad to get a chance to actually write some solid stuff about him.

🦈💕🎯 for the ask game!
🥰 An ask for me! Thank you so much I will endeavor to be entertaining!
For this ask game~ Here
🦈 Which character is the toughest to write?
//checks works// I have written exactly 5 character perspectives and honestly my beloved Jiang Cheng gives me the hardest time! He's always thinking and thinking and doing cost benefit analysis in his head for every decision, paragraphs will go by before I remember he's supposed to be responding to someone!! Help!!
Honestly I think the reason he's a toughy is because I am SOOO invested in representing him in a way that makes sense but is also doesn't bury the plot. Not everyone is into a downward spiral of paranoia and anxiety with sudden spikes of grief. Like I am the first one to say that he has normal days without rocking the scorned woman vibes every moment of it, but also when he's not Cursed Cassandra or triggered by his WWX-centric ptsd, he's just such a normal guy?? He likes people who are good/nice, he likes being good at what he was taught to do, he likes people relying on him, and he likes caring for his people... Like, when the narrative isn't against him he's just doing his thing trying to be enough for anyone willing to give him the time of day which is relatable as heck but also takes up 80% more processing power of the hamster wheel in my brain than it should and it's like... I had a plot here somewhere here but I just want to write him making the most mundane decisions. This is a problem!
💕 What is your favorite fic that you’ve written?
OoooooOooooOooooOooo wow yeah good question because I actually have some fics published now so I actually have choices to answer with but also the answer is that my favorite fic isn't even published yet and I have been writing it for years. "Mainfic" my beloved, soon...
Of everything that currently available to link, I think the Jiaoren!JC au is the best of my fics but my favorite these days as in fun for me to reread is the lil zoids au that's just WWX thirsting for JC with a mecha sport as backdrop. 😂 It's very indulgent. I put little images in it and everything. Like popping butterscotch candies when rereading and writing it.
🎯 Do you have a writing milestone you’re working towards?
Gonna be incredibly boring with this one because I think all my writing milestones I ever had I have already reached. 🙃 The biggest one before was just finishing a chapter fic, you know? I guess the next milestone is to do that but with something LONG and maybe that will be mainfic? Who knows. Ball of nerves on that one. It's probably going to get up to 200k if not more? That'd be my biggest achievement if I got that finished and all posted. 🙏
Aaah I love ask games, thank you so much these were fun to answer! My inbox is always open for anything, don't be a stranger~ 😉

One menacing little meitantei I finished back in September for a contest at Nan Desu Kan 2022 :3c He both lights up (shoes and glasses) and has secret definitely not evil details which can only be revealed under black light. He placed second in the "figurine" category!!
Base kit is this Bandai Entry Grade Conan Edogawa that can be bought very cheaply and assembled without any hobby-specific tools. But I am a hobbyist and I do have a lot of tools on hand so I went a little nuts (below the break):
Base is scratch-built from black acrylic and real brick and mortar (these little slips are the kind made for cladding dollhouses). Since the brick material is real, it's heavier than it looks. Box was designed to have a removable door on the bottom in order to access the custom LED wiring and the on/off switches. It's just a door with a notch in it that you pry off with any tool that will fit, as it's only being held in place with double-sided tape.
There are two custom LED circuits wired into the figure. One circuit controls the LED in his glasses and runs all the way from a tiny spot just above his left eye (the LED is very small! just .6mm) down through his body, to his feet, and into the base. The other controls the ones in his shoes. The wires are not visible except behind the door in the base, they are routed through many a hand-drilled hole.
The wires are incredibly fragile since they're so tiny... pieces fatigued off when I was putting this together since I was handling them too much trying to figure them out. I definitely could have done a better job here but I've given myself a pass since it's my first foray into this kind of stuff. It also works, so I can't ask for more, really.
The blue color in his eyes is hand-painted. The kit provides a sticker sheet for the details (below) but instead I opted to paint them in with my smallest brush because I'm a masochist I guess
For what it's worth, I think it paid off lol. I did try to apply at least one of these and I thought it looked incredibly jarring, plus I didn't really trust the strength of the adhesive to stick well while I hauled him around.
Similarly, the sticker that is used for the homing glasses radar on the lens that lights up is custom-made. The kit does not come with this detail and I wanted something to justify the trouble of wiring up his glasses. A custom waterslide decal would have been ideal, but the issue with this one would've been finding a vendor that can print white (most run-of-the-mill custom services can't).
Under black light, Conan is knee-deep in UV-reactive paint splatter. I wanted to mimic the look of a luminol reaction on blood. Yeah this might've been an extremely self-indulgent decision because the shine in his eyes glow with this same paint too LOL but there was no way I wasn't completing the look by going for some evil eyes >:) Makes him look like an animal at night and I'm very here for it and also tagging this as Evil Conan now hehehe
With the exception of his glasses, and his eyes, the entire kit is finished with a matte topcoat. Without it, he's got a very plastic, glossy shine to him. The topcoat protects the black light paint, too.
Anyway I'm quite proud of this and I'm glad I finally took good pics ;0; It's very different from my usual gunpla-adjacent stuff (Zoids) and because the kit is so affordable I was more comfortable with experimenting. I'm delighted to have placed at all in the contest, and now I have unwavering confidence I can carry this experience to other kits I have on backlog >w<

I loved Zoids as a kid. The toys, the shows, the one english gba game. Then I found out that the english patch for fuzors and the ds game was finished so I played them. Then, I ended up rewatching Chaotic Century and New Century. Then I got inspired and just did some stuff for fun hahaha. They’re not part of any specific zoids universe, just the idea of here’s a lineup of people who pilot some zoids, playing zoids tropes, thoughts on talent, prodigies, and found family.
I imagined the indigo guy piloting a shield liger. The Blade Liger is my favourite zoid, but I wish there was a more defense oriented “evolution” of the shield liger to suit him, but I don’t know how to design mechs. So if there was a shield-ier shield liger, that would be his zoid, since he’s more of a tank. Maybe he can pilot an Elephander, but I just love the shield liger-blade liger zoids so much. Plus he’s one of the “main characters”, so he must have a liger! 😂
The little girl pilots a Zaber Fang, because she’s also a main character and the main character usually pilots a liger so I thought hmmm maybe let’s subvert that while also being a callback to Raven, a prodigy.
Also, tbh I don’t know why I made a health bar sketch because if there was to be a health bar of any kind, it would be for the zoid and not for the character. But the idea came to me and I had fun 🤷🏻♂️
Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy it 😊 Maybe I’ll post my Van and other zoids character sketches one of these days (if i get around to scanning them 🤷🏻♂️)
