ah the joys of privatized public transport. The station staff will tell you that if the last train is canceled you can get a taxi ride paid back. They fail to mention that you need to call a very specific (and under staffed) service number first and get your full info logged to authorize it first.

I do not begrudge people having a cosy take on ghibil, taking hope and comfort in the small things despite the horrors is probably the right message to take from them! But... 1/?

Show me your tanks and other armored vehicles. Here's some from my narrative artbook TANKHEAD! #artbook #illustration #conceptart

We tried to only have limited hand held weapons on the tankheads, since their eh, tank heads are their main weapons. That means that when they do have one, it was something we just couldn't resist putting on there.

Some days, you just gotta to draw happy little trees on your stompy combat robot.

Show me your tanks and not-tanks ! Bonus points if they are extra tiny!

Reality has this tendency to give you real world people who actually existed but would just be too much if you included them in fiction "Professor Thaddeus S. C. Lowe, Chief Aeronaut of the Union Army Balloon Corps"

A quite leggy Gundam sketch from 2020. It's got fancy wheely-heels for skatin'. #mecha #gundam #conceptart

Since I'm working on model railroads, I can't help but mention the poster that legendary artist Don Lawrence made for the 100 year anniversary of the dutch national rail service, the NS, in 1989.

Offset cockpit, noodly-armed one. Rough sketch from... some time in the past. I forget.

#Gaurodan is out! The 2013 game has been completely redone to fit my current vision of traditional arcade game design. It's denser (more levels but less overall length), with better pacing, mechanics and a proper scoring system. Music by @gryzor87.bsky.social ♫ Info and downloads at locomalito.com

Most battleships have been showing their age for decades at this point, budgetary restrictions and lack of facilities prevent the production of brand new vessels. Those that are newly commissioned tend to be projects years in the making.

I keep telling myself I'm not tempted

"We'll only plough the with of our tracks, the rest just have to follow in our footsteps." Is one of those things done in history that always boggle my mind.

This is what they meant when they said "suit up" in the Toonami promos
