I want a set of ICO こけしnow.

Bonus follow up BattleTech post: Numbers 9-12 are Jeff Laubenstein's redraws of Shoji Kawamori redesigns repurposed as arena customs. Bonkers timeline. 1991 Solaris VII: The Game World box set.

バトルテックメック図鑑 1992 Contents will be in the replies but it will be a minute as I'm cleaning the pages.

Sprite comp at 4x scale of various BattleMechs drawn for MekHQ. Originally only meant to cover Technical Readout 3025, it grew quite a bit.

Today is Director Keita Amemiya's birthday. You should set aside some time to enjoy the beautiful cuts and designs of his 1991 SF film ZËIЯAM. It's not the greatest movie ever made, but it is immensely stylish.

平行線 I see all.

Frame two is the most important one.

Bladerunner is still a perfect film. Photoshop

...any mans death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankinde; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.

So much to adjust.

There is just something about the early 80's and B/W art. Tony Hough: unused Rogue Trader illustration Mamoru Nagano: panel from The Five Star Stories Hayao Miyazaki: panels from Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind Just gets the creative juices flowing.

Spending some quality time with Mr. Nagano.

Nice. Zeonic released their retranslation of M.S. Era. One of the most refined Gundam artbooks with a powerhouse team coming off their work on 0080: War in the Pocket.

Front Mission is one of those game series that just never quite made it. Niche genre (mecha) in a niche genre (turn based tactics videogames). Playing Pokémon again after all these years has really opened my eyes to some squandered potential in gameplay.

I still think that Steve Venters' designs of the original sixteen Clan OmniMechs remains a mostly unsung landmark in western mecha design. His conversion of the low poly Virtual World 'Mechs refined the limitations of 90's computer hardware into a sensible design language.

Do you ever wonder where past work you sold lives now?

Process - sketch - digital rough - finish (never finish)

Saw these stickers and thought of @androidarts.bsky.social counterfeiters.stores.jp

Sometimes I think that rendering metal is my favorite thing in the whole world.

Endlessly iterating in photoshop with classic concept art OODA process, old, never finished.

Akira Damacy, photoshop, never finished.

Thinking about bevels and chamfers.

Brian Eno, 77 million Paintings, Swarovski Kristallwelten, Austria. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
