I found stuff I drew back from 2002. Hard Agree. Seriously: woof, younger me. Kinda tempted to do a redraw now, though.

It offered that suggestion using a memorial photo of my late mom, and if I had laser vision, I would have incinerated my phone with how much that pissed me off. Goes to show: anything with a modicum of actual intelligence would have thought better of its selection.

These "Making of" pages were some of the best parts of the books, because getting the thought process of how some of the scenes came about make them more enjoyable to read through.

So the news is going around that Discord is being blocked in the Philippines (along with Reddit) due to a local government crackdown. I'm not too sure about the details, I haven't had the time to really sit down and collect the news. So basically sharing my apparent unavailability for a time.

I, for one, would be VERY interested to see if they could pull off a Pretender as a Blokees figure, WITH removable shell. And yes, the shell should be able to stand on its own, too.

Scary Glowy Eyes being doubly scary at the moment. The people at the merry-go-round caught a glimpse, and actually tried riding away on the horses.

"Cosmonatrix" sounds like your older plan for Sunstone before you made it a more grounded, no-antagonist story. Also, interesting way to find out your partner might be a touch arachnophobic!

Woke up with a realization that being exposed to the regurgitations and hallucinations of generated AI slop is essentially the human equivalent of shadowplay; it is likely punishable by Section 19 (80) 4 of the Tyrest Accord. #Transformers

This reminds me of the tutorials I used to read and follow on ImagineFX magazine. Man, those were the days.

Had me a pretty stressful week, what with illness in the family and dealing with the hospital, but now that is pretty much sorted, I can catch up on the game stuff I missed out on, and WOW. Metroid Ravenous is hitting the fanart nerve pretty nicely, and OHH, do I want to have a Switch 2 now.

Happens sometimes. You get sloshed on a tank of Old Corroder, next thing you know, you called in a cop to help you home.

Much like it's the same fruitcake being passed around from one home to another every Christmas holiday. No one knows where it came from, it's just this (allegedly) edible brick that came to being and travels from one house to another. Which is probably a Christmas miracle in itself.

That box of chins and chainsaws is a horror scene waiting to happen. Or you could use it as a title for an artbook or something. JetpackBraggin: Chins & Chainsaws Yeah...

YouTube is hiding ‘The Lovers,’ an adult animated short that took four years to create, from search results due to an age restriction.

I loved Willow until THAT THING showed up. I was such a weaksauce when it came to scary beasts on the big screen when I was a kid. I now like rewatching old "hide my head in the popcorn" moments, just appreciating how effective they were, and in many cases, still are.

Give me some of the more horrific scenes of Unit 01 ripping an Angel apart, but instead of The Beast, they play The Touch.

Was lucky enough to get the battle-damaged version of Studio Series #Megatron, and as per usual, I had a run of fun playing with possible fan modes and poses. Need to think of some kind of flying mode, though. #Transformers #ToyPhotography #Maccadams

The previously posted "standing fusion cannon", based on the first Bay movie's Megatron.

Taking it a step further with a (really loose) gun mode. Used additional accessories, including other fusion cannons from previous toys for the scope, etc.

One-upping Tarn with a triple fusion cannon setup. From top to bottom, that's Titans Return Megatron's cannon, which serves as the main attachment, then the Mechtech cannon from DOTM Voyager Optimus, and finally, his own fusion cannon with the extended barrel (otherwise, it barely lines up with the other cannons from where it mounts on the Mechtech cannon).

Whaddaya know...? Studio Series really CAN recreate those movie moments! "JOIN THEM IN EXTINCTION!!!"

Studio Series Megatron (Battle Damaged ver) half-transformed to mimic the extended cannon form of Bayverse movie 1 Megatron. (Have to consider Megs has a different body for Every. Single. Installment!)
