Are dog-themed pilots and cat-themed pilots compatible?

Granted, B69 is much more similar to a dog who will eat your sofa if under-stimulated than like.... a dog that wants to be everyone's friend.

I haven't decided on the handler's name, but...

Should the cat pilot be named Gatti or Gatito?

Gatti

Gatito

#....do most of the independent handlers muzzle their pilots or is it just these two?

There are more well-adjusted independent pilots. They're just not as fun to draw. lol

since I am on momentary jet fighter brainworms because of Ace Combat 8.

FLIGHTSUITS HAVE TOO MANY DOOBLYDOOS

Heavily referenced from the Survitec F-35 Pilot Flight Equipment brochure.

Anyway, this is why my mech pilots just float in soup in relatively plain wetsuits.

That and Kergat is not as fun as a mechanic and she's too tall to fit into a two-seater jet as a wizzo or something. It turns out if you make a character 6'6" your blorbo is now banned from jetfighters and most roller coasters lol

I guess she could be an air boss or something.

[kaxenart]

Now I'm just imagining someone playing Filament Chicken inside the landship

when you got one spin of the spool left

[kaxenart]

Been watching videos of Ace Combat 8 and one video mentioned that the flying drone swarms coming out of the landships are 3D printed which is just making me imagine some harried soldier babysitting a print farm in some crappy overheated very dry room. and mulling upon the idea of it (since there's no footage of how they go about it/the interior of the landships)

……….my approximation of an enclosed printer just kind of looks like a washer/dryer combo.....

Also I think now I need a fucked up robot named Spaghetti somewhere in my comics.

My version of Walter could probably be described as "Too Preoccupied To Queer At Maximum Output."

He does not spend time deciding on the perfect label for himself.

What kind of packaging do you think nutrient paste ought to have?

capri-sun pouch

churu tube

canned

a 4th more cursed option (elaborate)

Finished this up after noodling around with it for so long.

Retired mech pilot Czes falls back into the business he tried to escape. Success is limited, competition is fierce, and his new pilot is missing several key parts.

Ok u know that like. Period drama shirt. The white shirt men are always wearing in period dramas. The Colin Firth jumps into a lake shirt. Are you visualising this in your mind? Ok now imagine: a butch wearing the shirt. And she has tasteful cleavage. Do you see my vision.

Everyone I know wants a Rocky and so I am gonna be printing so many Rocky's.

I tried some more optimized/simplified prints on Makerworld, but I like the official 3D model more because it has the textures for all of the markings on Rocky's limbs included, but ouuugghhhh it is time consuming to print it. The level of detail makes it a bit slower to print (it seems to look best when I either make it 200% or use 0.2 nozzle instead of 0.4, both options increase print time). My resin printer would do it faster, but the jointing is tight such that it is very unforgiving to how resin is less dimensionally accurate than filament. Also since I am printing at least five of them, I don't want to have to sand that much. Resin pockmarks from supports can be a real pain in the ass if you snap it off in an unlucky way.

Printing has also been a bit slow because I am trying to find the perfectest settings for supports that can hold the legs vertical but also be really easy to pop off.

I have the settings I use for easy to remove supports from some guy on Reddit, but it needs a little finessing between different models.

I don't have to watch my printer but also

riveting television????

[kaxenart]

The default size is rather fragile. I think I am gonna try 150%

200% is a lot lol
