I actually do genuinely love when people make sincere angst art of children's shows. The depth people create in the things they carry close to their heart always inspires me. Like yknow what? What if it WAS that deep. And even deeper. Take my hand. Let me explore this topic with you
sorry didn't realize the bridge has to be plain beige concrete. that was a load bearing plain beige concrete if anyone tags it the whole bridge collapses

HURT (i don't think i'm pretty) - Layto
This was a project I concepted back in what,,, November? December? Of 2025? it has been sitting around unfinished for a WHILE. This was mostly due to the fact that I was not confident in my ability to render the finished piece to my liking. As pretty as my older rendering style for mecha is,,, it becomes cluttered and muddy. It is too shiny and doesn't have a very clear look to it. I don't know how to explain it. IT WAS JUST TOO MUCH.
Over the past couple of months I have been DESPERATELY wanting to change my rendering style. I finally took that leap and "studied" (read "as stared at their works for hours") some of my favorite mecha artists to try and figure out what they do when it comes to rendering!! Both artists I studied create adult content so I can't share their usernames due to that - Adults are more than welcome to ask me who those artists are privately! I do want to give credit where credit is due.
Anyways, after a lot of staring and yapping about what I think the processes are, I think I figured it out!! Of course I did it my own way so it's not one to one (Also because there is no guide from them on how to render like they do LOL), especially because I wanted this to be my own take on the style and have my own process! This style is MUCH faster than my last style and overall just looks cleaner!! I am very happy with this experiment and I will be making this my main mecha rendering style moving forward, especially since I will continue to refine it and develop my style further.
This is only HALF of the completed project I have planned. I have a second half of this which will feature Shadow X!! The two pieces will be pieced together in the end to make a full canvas with some special little extra details added! However, this piece alone took me over a month of consistent work since I had to chip away at it for only a few hours every night after work - while also taking some much needed breaks to work on other projects and enjoy other hobbies and my free time.
I look forward to slowly working away at the next part of this!! I'm hoping i can keep the two separate canvases rather consistent!!
Also yes, using this song AGAIN. I still love it a year and a half later.
Bonus Unshaded Version:
My Final Touches definitely pull my pieces together I find BUT, I did want to show the unshaded and un-pretty-ified version of this to really show off the rendering!!
I Still need to find the perfect colors for rendering on his purple-ish blue plating!! It was a bit of a struggle and I haven't found the perfect combo,,, In the end I settled for a yellow highlight color with a neon blue overlayed on top of that to make it not as jarring color wise!
I still don't know how I pulled this off I'll be honest,,, It was fun and I'm excited to see where I go from here!!

"only 90s kids remember-" wrong, if you're poor and/or rural enough, old tech and fashion doesn't just disappear when it stops being trendy. We had dial-up until 2012
it's okay if you as a lesbian want to fuck the straight blonde popstar but you can't be pretending she's a lesbian too girl at least make it a lesbian corruption kink or some shit
Once you start noticing how the incapacity to handle discomfort affects how people live their lives it's actually pretty shocking how it ruins pretty much every conceivable aspect of existence. Interpersonal relationships, romantic and platonic. Career and education opportunities. Your politics Your willingness to go anywhere. The kind of food you eat. The kind of art you expose yourself to and your ability to read it. It's never just one thing, it touches everything, and once you notice it it's like suddenly being able to see germs or something. Just this horrific catastrophe people look at you askance for screaming about. As I grow older and see what became of my friends and peers who could not learn to handle discomfort, the more I'm like. This is a genuine societal issue
i do always feel a little bit silly being deeply opinionated about media for little children but ultimately i think that children deserve to have good art made for them. i think children Especially deserve to have good art made for them, as an audience that is still in the earliest stages of getting to learn what art even is and what it can be. kids need bizarre and innovative and compelling and sincere stuff made for them too. otherwise you end up with adults who think you have to be on psychedelics to make anything that has a different narrative structure than a marvel movie.
you will see something that the us military has done and it will be the most horrifying thing in the world. something that should be the catalyst for a complete upheaval of the system, for riots in the streets, for national mourning periods and rewritten textbooks and decades of reparations. and the whole time it's just a normal day for them. they did something like it yesterday and they'll do it again tomorrow. the lucky ones even get to come home and spend the rest of their lives getting discounts at the movies and applause at baseball games. and if you try to express any this to the average person irl they will act like you shot their dog in front of them
