With the exception of work, while in the booth, I haven’t been drawing much. Maybe the gradual change of weather, as Fall approaches, has been making me low energy? Also, worries again about life. Family on mother’s side has been passing on.
My Pica returned and I need to curb it once again. It’s really ridiculous.
Last week, I did sketches of Monster Rancher creatures. Next way, I may have an announcement. In the game world, I resumed playing Cuphead and restarted MARK OF THE NINJA.
From two days ago at work. I was focusing on faces and looking for weaknesses. What am I missing? What can I do to make my faces better? Especially my eyes and noses?
Simple. I did this last night before bed I think.
who does he remind me of?

HIGHLIGHT/PERSON OF THE DAY
Katsuki Masako (see Doggie Highlights | Katsuki Masako (勝生 真沙子). Recently on Twitter, this veteran actress/voice actress gives details on her experience with the COVID19 vaccine in hopes to extend awareness of its effects. She shows desire in protecting the Japanese public as the delta pandemic hits them strongly. As of yesterday or the day before, she has received her second shot. She had to go to work but remained conscious on keeping herself physically steady as she deals with a high fever. She seems surprised by her sweaty clothes.
モデルナワクチン二回接種後、今日は三日目。熱は37度〜36,8度。この熱だけならと、お仕事に。自然とテンションも上がり、大量の汗が💦帰りの電車内は、いつもより冷房が効いて、涼しさに喜んでましたが、帰宅して脱いだ服を見て(๑ÖㅁÖ๑)
多分電車内の周りの方は、こいつ大丈夫？と思った事でしょう…— 勝生真沙子 (@GAKOSAMADA) August 24, 2021

その命を預かっていると言う意識を持つか？持たないか？の問題。
Do you say to be conscious of keeping life?
UPDATES/OTHERS/VIDEOS
I’m starting to wonder if I can do this. How many hours do I need? Dedaleon and Grafden are in hiatus difficulty. I still want to keep at it. I might have to work on the geometric pieces separately again. The polygons for the armor for example. The issue is the placement of it all being correlated to proportions. Even the underbody has a ton of gaps and waves. Insane. How should I approach this? If anything, this is definitely better than any attempt I had in the past. That includes my cars. Maybe I’m not giving myself enough credit.
“WARNING: Mind head while leaving”
The Darius Burst series is a modern HD, but loyal follower of the side scroll shooter existing back since 1986. It still bears its spirit from Darius II, beginning as a large, wide-screen sitting chassis in the arcade, and its no different in console mode. Imported to console, I wonder if it was a good idea? In America, side scroll shooting arcades outside of imitation light gun games ala Time Crisis and movie franchises (ie: Jurassic Park, Predator, etc) are less recognized. I somewhat see potential in recent revival of classics such as Space Invades and Centipede, which are being modified for four player engagement. While Darius series has been a 2 player game, players taking control a red or blue ship, Burst has implemented 4 player gameplay with different choices of ships. Unfortunately, but traditional to the arcade, it only allows LOCAL MULTIPLAYER.

My week has been a bit uneventful. I’ve been worried about my health since Tuesday. I had to take a ride home form work after catching a dizzy spell. Michigan has been around 30 C (90f) humid weather throughout, with some rainy days and cool days that can surprise many of us after experiencing what feels like desert temperature everyday. With discussions of climate change, it feels like a natural every day thing to go through such heat, and just maybe, we all have a way of dealing with it. I came home Saturday with a headache, then today, I just decided to stay home after experience some aches and weakness. Do I not drink enough water? Or is there another underlying problem? (see Daily Life | Campus was great and I had a health scare (?)) Are my organs effected? Days later, I took a bus to get my car back. I had fun and was refreshed to just take a stroll.
Game-wise, I purchased Dragonball FighterZ, Darius Burst EX+ (this morning) and Who Wants to be a Millionaire (watch me play Millionaire on Twitch). FighterZ is at its end with DLC packs, and because of its e-sports and multiplayer exposure, it got a drop in price. I thought about it so much but was hesitant for so long to try it out. It really is a fun game after all. Never thought I would enjoy hearing “GOKU WINS!” I also has a arcade gameplay routine to it. However, I’m quite sure that I’m not using simple controls–isn’t there a lot of flashy attacks after a few button presses and easy guard breaks? My first experience online might be painful.
I played STORY MODE of Mario Party 3, recording it for Twitch. It was nice and refreshing. In addition, I played Pokemon Stadium and Ogre Battle. The N64 still works nice even if it needs a little bit of cleaning.
No updates on new books but my Saintia Sho collection is near complete. Vol 14 will come in November and Vol 15 is the last. I don’ think I’ve been reading much and focused more on work and getting an extra position, but will I have the stamina? I did update Dawn of End and I am still trying to do sketches every day. However, they are much like the couples I did before so I’m a bit nervous showing them. An occasional car or ship, especially at work. If I’m well, I’ll see if I’ll show something today.
My Couples series. I’ve a bit concerned as to which of these pictures show at the optimal image for when I share the entry on Twitter or any form of social media. These were experiments that reflect a fictional narrative stuck in draft about a couple, and I wondered how it would all look as a drawing. These are two things I hardly do or attempt — draw and write love scenes. I also thought that it might be a bit easy because I’ve been doing many fundamental figure drawings and focused on proportion and anatomy, and not just because I was being a pervert . Clothes are probably more difficult; they meld with the anatomy, and there’s also shadow and wrinkles. There have been cases where I thought “how can I remedy this posture? What is better?” Thus, more pictures. It was especially when I saw how the woman’s hands were touching? When it came to intercourse and love scenes, the hands had a strong, sensual language to them. They are also difficult to draw.
I think the 2nd one is the only one I did a “second take” on. In fact, I changed her hands a lot. then, I drew a different “angle”. I figured that this was how art passion was felt. I also realized that where the hands were positioned was important when she was holding him. Where the male was laying (or positioned) made me think about as to where her arms and hands would reach (so the 4th one looks weird to me). Trial and error fun. So I thought “Let me just erase it!”. It was at his head first, then it went to his back only. I want it all, the hands and faces, to say “I want to be with you.” Did I succeed?
I was like to announce that I drew a Kaiju and I am happy with it. it’s in my mecha book; I think I was doing for Mecha Godzilla but kaiju are equally well formed. I had a reference picture but can’t determine the monster. It really looks like something fought by Ultraman. Don’t wanna mess with it. I just did it earlier today. I think I’ll work on my Suparobo DD after my Twitch stream.
Going by a guide, this was a fun exercise–shapes and stacking. Of course, not without its flaws such as the chest piece leaning out of proportion. I’m getting somewhere. I just wish I had more time. The day before (or before that), I managed to create the frame construction without guidance in my 6×4 hand sketchbook during work. Is it all worth it?! When I get home, I’m gonna to try out some Suparobo DD models as another experiment. My aim is Dedalion and Grafden.
