One of the big kickers of the tariff situation is that """Liberation Day""" and the removal of de minimis both coincide with Chinese factory holidays, making dealing with the tariffs even harder than it otherwise would've been 🫠That almost feels deliberate

βˆ€ Gundam Charm Wip!! Gonna send out the new set soon, praying to mochi Lord's they sneak through customs

Daily G Gundam episode 43. Domon continue shis warpath towards the Devil Gundam, facing down the Grand Gundam, but Chibodee and George team up to stop it, sacrificing themselves. Meanwhile, Wong lets Allenby, who's been totally berserk-ified, loose against Domon who just says her name over and over.

I'll be posting a few more chibis in the next couple of weeks, but I don't know if they'll be charms (tariffed) or stickers... Depends on whether the removal of de minimis is so disastrous that the admin brings it back quickly Otherwise, I will soon focus again on illustrative work for new prints

I see now πŸ’€

Why did Honkai Star Rail put the Challenger space shuttle explosion at the beginning of their 2nd anniversary animated video πŸ’€

I'm almost done watching Escaflowne and I'm pretty certain I want to draw fanart Probably not a chibi, I actually want to do a painterly style illustration because the show's fantasy world and aesthetics are so beautiful

Xenoblade Chronicles X Elma + Verus chibis

I think XC3 and XCX have better side quests overall than XC2, but that one side quest in XC2 that reveals Alrest's Nopons used to speak normally until they decided to use babytalk to make humans underestimate them was really memorable for that lore twist alone

I'm not really into the main Arknights game anymore, but I may try Endfield when it comes out since I'm intrigued by mixing basebuilding with open world exploration

Name's Jed.

Tfw I just got the starting Skell in XCX, tried exploring with it, got attacked by a Tyrant enemy 10 levels above me, tried to fight it, and then my Skell got wrecked and I had to use an insurance ticket to get it fixed πŸ’€ We live in a society

Debating with myself how many of my keychain ideas I still want to do, bc at this point there's no way to do any more new tariff-free designs πŸ₯² I have a few Gundam and Transformers designs I'm still pretty sure about, and maybe MMZ Zero, but idk about Meiya/Takemikazuchi or Guy/Gaogaigar...

Updated my 2025 upcoming convention artist alley schedule yet again to include Weebcon Indy! I hope to see you guys at some of these conventions ❀️

If transformers are Hot Wheels with included Greek Mythology, are gundams Lego with included Space Anti-Colonialism πŸ€”

86 -Eighty Six- Lena and Shin + Juggernaut chibis

...I only just got my Skell piloting license in Xenoblade Chronicles X DE despite picking up the game on release πŸ’€ In my defense I've been very busy this past month

I always love hitting people with "The 'Is this a pigeon?' meme is from a mecha anime" (Also love hitting them with the extra nugget that the guy in the meme is technically both an android and a mech since he's the consciousness of the Fighbird aka the Fighbird's humansona)

It's funny to me how a lot of fighter jet media plays with the idea that being another pilot's wingman has romantic undertones And because most fighter jet media features nearly all-male casts, this naturally turns into genre-specific yaoibait (with rare exceptions like Ace Combat 4)

Redesigned my Miorine chibi so that she's now part of a Calibarn keychain design with Suletta on the reverse side! #GWitch #gundam #sulemio

While the 2010s are too recent to have a nostalgic aesthetic embedded in public memory (like frutiger aero now is for the 2000s), I'll always associate bombastic Hiroyuki Sawano soundtracks with the high-profile anime of the 2010s His OSTs always demand attention for better and for worse

Gundam Bluesky in a nutshell (compliment):

Big O -- Showtime! #thebigo

Big O -- Showtime! #thebigo

Ace Combat Mobius 1 (AC4) and Trigger (AC7) keychain designs #acecombat

Daily G Gundam episode 39. After Allenby is kidnapped by fake doctors, Domon is a total dick to Rain and goes to pout on some cliffs. Master Asia's horse, Fuunsaiki shows up and makes him take a boat over to a destroyed island. There, he meets with Master and unlocks the Sekiha Tenkyoken attack.

The Bravern ED performed live is maybe the greatest thing ever and has healed my soul just a little bit

Yet again I'm thinking about Buddy Complex and wishing that it was good (read: not aggressively mediocre)

Idk why people think that the mecha are incidental in Code Geass when they absolutely aren't? I saw someone say 86 and Code Geass are equally mecha, which makes no sense to me because Code Geass focuses a *lot* on the powers of its humanoid mechs while the Juggernauts in 86 are literally disposable

86 isn't groundbreaking in this respect, but I do like that it very much acknowledges that systematic oppression is often based on arbitrary criteria and rooted in exploiting the labor and resources of a vulnerable population Lots of other stories miss the mark by failing to identify the root causes

Didn’t expect to wake up to a Gundam Wing x Code Geass collab figure?! Via: tamashiiweb.com/item/15385/?...
