I like what you got out of it with GIMP...it made it  look like an encaustic.

SILENT NIGHT (even though I can hardly listen through, cause, sad), TABOO, and JUST ONE MORE KISS, honestly I prefer this album on live.

I've been listening to their latest almost every day when I go running...so I look forward to it. (Just keep out those songs)

That alert cockatoo hair is fuckin sweet

Just got around to checking out the MV, I'm always a sucker for "We Live In A Society" darkness so I translated all the questions and adverts. 1234 for the contestants, () for notes, [] for vid boxes.
 

I don't like the sound of most non-vk metal, aside from the stuff most everyone's covered, but Gojira has been memorable to me for a long time.

Assorted Mei cheki + I actually got the calligraphy a bit earlier in the year (Mei's time in Memento Mori), but I've had to keep it wrapped in plastic until I could frame it.....didn't want that lipstick imprint fading..l o l

I've been sick since the end of November but the good thing that comes of it is I got to do a lot of personal art. It only took about 5 months for my meditation landscape to become fucked lol

handful more of nama + misc since i last posted (large pic dump jsyk)
 

ok i'm sorry bu t

Oh thank god. Love all the other tracks...ballad just isn't my thing but it's better than the mv song. And agree on '...大人の戦争'

edit
really like 隣の席の卑猥ちゃん too ...and 粉砕するぞ！even more listening with actual bass now. Gonna actually buy these now.

I think most of these are too situational or depending on context...either way these are definitely vastly different than how I would've answered six or seven years ago.

All I know is I'd be on cloud nine if they collabed on a Sukekiyo-esque song. But at this point I'm not allowing hope for anything.

(famous last words x2)

this is why hope is bad

Godd I hope so...and glad u said it before me so I didn't sound like a degenerate alone recognizing his feet and thick fingers.

Finally a good day to log in (famous last words x2)

Can't wait to tell people about my new fav Guhzendahellhu

Liked the vocalist more in てけてけ single...but I feel like I would enjoy listening to this on a cassette stereo.

Welll that's depressing.  This falls under radio static "songs for the deaf" per Josh Homme.
I mean yeah it's not /technically/ abysmal, but it's boring and I could throw darts and hear 30 more bands that sound that way English or Japanese.
Sure hope Mei pulls somethin cause I'm running out of bands to stan.

Liked them specifically because they didn't sound like that awful short clip...if that's the direction they're going then rip for me I guess.

Reminds kind of Hysteric Panic at some parts. I don't hate it.

That looks sweet as fuck. Did you make it from scratch, or did you just buy stuff that was ready to be put on?

Thanks, about 80% custom.
I wanted to make my own mask but the materials didn't fit the budget. So I started with this latex mask, it was pretty deformed and had a shit paint job.
 

So I stuffed and melted it, fixed it to a foam head, then hand painted with watercolor and copic mix, some acrylic.

Aside from the mask I had a plain black sheet, and then bought white skeleton gloves. Painted those red and gold with fabric paints, tattered the robe and hand laid at least 40 feathers and lace strings with a net backing. Same for the neck feathers I cut by hand and laid all of them. Also cut wig thatches and laid the hair although you can't see it hardly in any of the pictures. I also sculpted the horns, painted them etc.

Finished project when it was fresh: (cause it's 4 years old now and kinda faded...and I ran into trees since then lol.)

It was my first time trying to put something together from a drawing on a 100$ budget so I am happy with it. Only downside is the head weighs around 15lbs and has to be balanced pretty precariously, so your neck is fucked after a couple hours.

My Halloween was pretty disappointing...had a lot of severe weather and tornado type stuff in the vicinity so only got to wear my costume an hour tops. (Well I like the severe weather...but not on Halloween come on!)

did you paint over a 3D base?

nah, just freehand with a sandpaper texture pencil in SAI and then I blend edges like oil paint using blur & airbrush.
I start with lines like these but just fill them in

paint sketch of meditation avatar...although i messed up the other eye, his hair should be middle part / sat far back on the top of the head lol (cause he's really bald).

Thanks a ton, if I can find the time again to translate this is #1 on my list.

Have the kanji always been available?...I felt like I used to not find it, or again I'm spectacularly blind.
