So if you think of the AEUG and Karaba as unions, Amuro Flies Again shows the importance of having strong community and family connections to spur reluctant leaders into act-- *dodges a tomato*

I'm allergic to sharing WIPs, but it's either that or not sharing art at all. Currently on a roll with my upcoming comic, FLASHBACK XX79

i am so beyond thrilled to launch my new webcomic: PRAYERS TO THE FUTURE! it's a muslim-themed post-apocalyptic adventure about coming together to breathe life into a struggling world. the first update is now live at prayerstothefuture.com - the comic is free to read + updates every monday. ENJOY 🧿

an illustration for the launch of my (iasmin omar ata) new webcomic PRAYERS TO THE FUTURE. the main character, irfan, poses with an obsidian sword. the rest of the comics cast (a mystery for now!) is depicted in various shapes behind her. the title of the comic is written outside of a circle behind irfan, with "by iasmin omar ata" written on the underside of the circle. within the circle, a post-apocalyptic desert is shown, with a tall obisidan obelisk at the center and a giant crystal floating atop it.

@escherbug.art I was looking at this setting art of the Ingram's reactive armor in Patlabor 2 and thought of you

I went to an industry networking event hoping to talk to an agent but instead I mostly just gave someone advice on unionizing their workplace. (I would still like to talk to some agents.) (But I would also gladly talk to you about unionizing your workplace.)

Consider: a Patlabor VR game from the perspective of the command car. Like a modern take on RAD, you have to use your greater mobility and awareness to issue commands to the Ingram. Labors have a stagger bar & fall hard, and your partner has to be positioned to prevent collateral damage.

Comics are great. You can make things that don't exist in real life. You can draw them in ways that aren't bound by 3D space but that communicate extra-sensory ideas or just look cool. This was probably building up to a bit but then I got sincere 🥲

More mecha fiction needs to put boy pilots in those saddle-style seats with their butts out "You could do that in your own comic" I spent a long time working out the logistics and unfortunately couldn't commit to the bit. I'm sorry to let you down.

The PS3 is still the best console because it can play every main series Metal Gear game (even the MSX games and Peace Walker, somehow even MGSV) and it still has pressure sensitive face buttons.

Seeking investors who want to pay me to draw gay mecha comics all day. The Deal: I get to draw whatever I want at my own pace. You get the satisfaction of knowing my emotional and material needs are fulfilled. Also maybe you will like my gay mecha comics.

In other news, I can't even say that new Patlabor game looks like a PS2 game, cuz at least licensed PS2 mecha games had pretty good texture work. The latest trailer looks like they took 3D scans of some Moderoid kits and called it a day.

Turning off reposts across the board has been great for me. It makes social media really boring and also I get to choose when I am ready to introduce new external problems to my sensitive little brain. That's a win-win. It does mean I really gotta work to see the gay anime drawings, though.
