Have you read more of Xmen? 😁

Not yet! I fell off reading the Claremont run right after Scott left post-Dark Phoenix since that was a natural stopping point for that arc. But that's not X-Men's fault, I was enjoying it. I also fell off reading '00s Fantastic Four after the end of the Waid run even though I wanted to read through Hickman, and I stopped just a few issues into Unbeatable Squirrel Girl. I am also behind on half of my current subscriptions other than Sonic, Transformers, Absolute Batman, and Fantastic Four lol. Just haven't been reading comics as much lately for one reason or another.

I can't find it now, but I saw a headline somewhere the other day from someone who said they were fixing their social media addiction by replacing mindless scrolling with reading comics instead. Maybe I should take that to heart. Just grab my iPad and read an issue or two when I've got a few minutes to kill.

"HEY EVERY !!", Spamton - Air Clay

Originally I was going to post a Yugioh classic monster, but it didn't come to my liking, so I'm posting another figure I was working on: Ev3ry Buddy 's Favorite [[Number 1 Rated Salesman1997]], Spamton G. Spamton!

Originally I made him in modelling clay, but he came out too [[BIG]], so I made another figure in air clay in a smaller size, which came better to my liking. My mother thought he was some weird deformed woodpecker.

Design based on his original sprite. My interpretation ain't much different than other fans', I personally enjoy their shoes. Wanna give a shout out to [ActualDavis] and [2 Cool 4 School] animations of Spamton, giving me some inspiration.

"[Trash Heap]!!! YOU KEPT IT!!! YOU REALLY DO CARE!!"

What are your thoughts on Dr Starline as a character?

He was a nice contrast to Dr. Eggman. Having Starline be this guy who was appalled at how reckless Eggman and cavalier was, only to basically commit the same mistakes in a different way was interesting. It was a fun commentary on, like, meeting your heroes, and how fans might misinterpret intentions.

By that I mean I feel like it's pretty common in fandom spaces to think "well I'd do that better" and then it turns out you don't.

Starline is, or was, just as blind as Eggman, just from a different perspective. And I like that. I like the friction he created in the world because of that. I like that he was trying to beat Eggman at his own game as a twisted way to prove his devotion. He was an enemy both to Sonic and technically to Eggman as well, something he passed on to Surge and Kit.

And, really, there was only one way that could have ended: with Starline facing reality and paying the price for that. But there's rumors he may be coming back soon, so I'm anticipating that.

Why do you have such a high opinion on Silver?

He's a lovable little doofus who balances out Sonic's snark and Shadow's brooding. He is simply trying his best

The Roaring Knight appeared- Air clay

I managed to make a floating figure. I'm unsure if I should feel proud or not.

A dark, yet darker figure, a first for me. It was very interesting to make. What do you think?

It isn't alone. It has a friend.

Size: 18.5 cm high x 8 cm wide

Materials: Air Clay, cold paint, acrylic paint, resin, wood.

So,uh... Jujutsu Kaisen! Do you like Jujutsu Kaisen?

I have kind of a love-hate relationship with JJK, but I like it more than I dislike it overall. My problem is that Gege has a tendency to get very bogged down in exposition about the mechanics of the power system, and to a lesser extent stuff like the off-screen hierarchy of the jujutsu world, that it can feel like he forgets to tell an actual story about the characters. This was most recently seen in the full episode of exposition with Tengen in the anime, and manga readers will know what I mean with that whole final battle arc, or the epilogue where it feels like more effort was put into creating an in-story FAQ about the mechanics of the fight than giving the narrative an emotionally satisfying ending.

That being said, when it's good, the series is still REALLY fun. Especially when Gege is just giving us eccentric characters with weird powers and sticking them in really cool fights. The tag team boogie woogie fight with Yuji and Todo near the end of the anime's first season will always be one of my favorite anime fights ever. I love characters like Todo and Hakari and Takaba. Honestly I kind of wish Gege was just doing a full-on action comedy series right now instead of Modulo.

And of course Mappa is doing incredible things with the anime, from the sheer animation quality to the many directorial flourishes that elevate the source material. That whole conversation with Yuji and Hakari that was depicted via a single held shot to allow the naturalistic character animation to shine was so, so good the other week. As was everything they did with Perfect Preparation. I'm not entirely sure how much the anime will be able to smooth over the ending, but it's definitely going to be a fun ride getting there.

Hakuri Sazanami (R) - Air Dry Clay

"I want to keep proving the value you saw in me."

I'm a bit late, but let's celebrate the announcement of the upcoming Kagurabachi anime! I was working on a remake of my old Hakuri Sazanami figure (gosh, the old one is ugly), and finished just a bit after the trailer came out.

I'll continue to improve. The new one is more anatomically correct, and the face isn't ugly. (Air-dry clay isn't like modeling clay...) I didn't bother making the mask for his eye this time.

"But this isn't a stab in the dark. Now, I got Hakuri."

I likewise changed the colors of his pants to reflect the current look. The white hair has a bit of blond too, but I don't think the photo quality shows it. Hakuri was blond before the sensei decided on giving him white hair ( To better contrast with Chihiro, I presume) but I can't help but remember Killua from Hunter x Hunter, another Shonen Jump kid from a famous clan.

Materials: Air-dry clay, wire, wood, a bit of aluminum, cold porcelain paint, acrylic paint, black fine-tip marker.

Size: 11 cm high, 3 cm wide

Queen - Deltarune

It has been a good while since I did anything. Here is Queen done with foam clay.

I hope you like it. I couldnt make her heels so, boots for now.

I want to give a shout out to L Void and his Deltarune memes videos, I absolutely adore his Queen voice.
