revolutionary girl utena asurei au

I'm probably not gonna go anywhere with this but I've been obsessed with drawing them recently.

I see asuka as a character to be more like nanami but with utenas drive and wish to be a more active participant in the plot. i think she would be very intereting to observe in utenas position

i also think the dualist/rose bride partnership would also be a very fun way to explore both of their personal traumas. asuka and rei clash in a very interesting way and putting them in a position where they have to save each other from their suffering would be sooo <3.

obviously Gendou is akio. and rei is anthy

Gunpla: Completed Collection of Minis: Part 5: The Rest: Gundam Wing, Endless Waltz, Evangelion, Amaim Warrior at the Borderline, Sakura Wars

The final set of minis! Only a few more to go! I feel like i just did the pokerap after writing up these blog entries. Anyway, the two images above are roughly contiguous in real life, just at slightly different scales (Heero Yuy on the left is right next to the Peach amiibo on the right)

MG Sandrock: Quatre Raberba Winner

Another figurine finished with nuln oil. Also i believe this was one of the last figures i painted before i started using the magnifying goggles. Still turned out pretty decent imo. And of course, we have a pilot figure!

And of course, we got some shots of him in the cockpit. Realizing you can see some hair and dust in these images, alas. Nothing i can do now to fix them (I mean, i'm not getting into photo editing just for that, i think it kind of tells the human story of the conditions these mechs sit in too: out for months collecting dust. These were even dusted off before i photographed them but i guess i wasn't as thorough as i could have been!) Anyway this kit is pretty neat, and will also someday maybe get its own post. More below the cut

HG WF-02 Shenlong Gundam: Chang Wufei

So this is a kit i do not own, but the figure was given to me by my friend's partner (who i believe i have now hung out with enough to also call a friend). They must have had this kit years ago. Anyway, i made the base stand myself again too! This figure was kinda interesting to paint. The dragon pattern on his tank top was actually part of the sculpt. That being said, it was really hard to match, and i wasn't yet using the magnifying goggles top assist. I did have aqueous gold paint however. And surprisingly, there was an ANCIENT color guide for this kit! I did the best i could to translate it and it seems like it was still using paints that Mr. Hobby still sells today. Or at least, close approximants. Small flub: the eyes are kinda asymmetrical. Also, the way i finished him was i gave him a semi-gloss coat, then masked over (broadly) the gold part of the shirt, and then finished him with a flat coat. That way the flat coat doesn't ruin the sheen of the gold paint. This was definitely a fun one to paint. A much larger scale than i was used to!

HG OVA EW-2 1/100 Wing Gundam 0 Custom: Heero Yuy

I DO own this kit (but pictures will NOT be forthcoming. Maybe one day. it's currently in "storage"). This was one of the first larger figures i painted. There was no color guide, so i had to take my best shot at mixing colors. so I mixed the paints using some of what was leftover from the PGU mini painting and from the Spiricle Striker Mugen figurine painting (i need to write a blog post about that, as it's vaguely relevant to these mini painting posts!) I hit this boy with some super clear gloss, panel lined, then flatcoated. Badda bing bada boom. I do not know what scale this guy is at, i could not find anywhere it's stated. I'd guess maybe 1/24?

HG Spiricle Striker Mugen (Claris Type): Clarissa "Claris" Snowflake

This whole kit deserves its own post, and tbh i didn't think i was gonna include it here, but then i mentioned it above and now here we are. She was painted in Fall 2023 but she turned out better than most of the minis. The eyes are Water Slide Decals though (which means i successfully applied water slides over a painted surface!) I followed the color guide pretty well but i wasn't really sure how to paint some of the details. I struggled with "detail loss" through the paint here, but i think i managed to make it appear as good as i am gonna make it in the end. I also primed her in White, which made the detail loss worse (because it seems the white primer pools as it dries moreso than gray primer). BTW, this is 1/24 scale

Moving on to planned figures for this post:

HGLM 003 Evangelion 00: Rei Ayanami & Gendou Ikari

These have been finalized since the last time i posted them, mostly by applying Flat Coats. Rei has been panel lined though, which her suit kinda needs. Gendou's outfit is already dark and doesn't really warrant panel lining imo. I suspect the scale here is 1/24 but i cannot confirm. Also, there was no color guide so once again i winged it. I think it turned out pretty okay for winging the palette! Also, i like and know things about Evangelion and i know Gendou needs to stay far away from Rei. i'm kind of appalled they put him in the same box as her!

Full Mechanics 1/48 MAILeS KENBU: Amou Shiiba

So i will admit, i know nothing about this series. "AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline" is what it's called apparently? BUt that's a weird localized title and its japanese name is just "Warrior Machines at the Borderline" when translated literally?) But this is the protagonist. This is another kit that i don't own, but my friend asked me to paint the minis for this kit. This particular standee is actually two peices. I painted them separately, then glued them together with tamiya extra thin, and then painted over the seams as best i could. TBF the camera angles hide the seams pretty well here, but i betcha can't tell! Anyway, since i don't actually own the model, i actually got to keep this standee! I think not panel lining this makes it look a lot cleaner. Also, i'm surprised the eyes came out as well as they did. He looks like he's looking off to the side a bit.

I also painted the cockpit pilot figure! So i got some photos when i brought the boy over to my friend's. Honestly this kit has some really cool poses and details and i kinda want one myself. I love that the stock of the gun fits into an open space on the arm, sometimes it's really hard to pose a gundam wielding a gun for this reason. I wound up digging through my friend's box of mixed plamo to find all the missing pieces for it, too, just so i could disassemble it to put Amou in. yes, the disassembly was NECESSARY to put him in. Believe me i tried otherwise lol. I'm glad i put in that work though! Now my friend's model kit has a little some extra special inside it and that makes me happy. This conclude my tour of all the minis i have painted over the 3/4 of a year. Wow! It's been a lot! I'm sure i'll come across more minis in the future (hell, i still need to paint that one Mystery Pilot Figure That I Think Is Kira Yamato!). When i do, i will probably cover them in future mega galleries grouped by "however many i can fit into a post at once". But i don't plan on buying any more plamo anytime soon, so at this point i'm at the mercy of people who want to give me more minis to paint. I'm sure I could scrounge up some from my friend, but finding them and/or extracting them would absolutely be more trouble than my friend is willing to put into displaying her models (currently). if you've taken the time to read through all my posts, thank you so much! This has been one of my biggest hyperfixations recently and i'm really happy to be able to put it all into a gallery and show others. I am here, and human, and shout into the void to prove i am alive.

[ TS4 to TS3 ]  Child Glasses / Necklace Set（CU）

Glasses sliders compatible. Each necklace can be recolored, but there is no morphs.

可搭配眼鏡相關的拉桿使用。項鍊可改色，但是沒有綁身材拉桿。

The lenses can be recolored, but it is recommended to use darker shades of gray or black. If you choose white, they may glow outdoors at night, making your sim look like Ikari Gendou (I've made adjustments, and now there will only be a faint glow, haha).

When paired with other accessories in CAS, the texture of the lenses may look a bit strange. However, in live mode, there won't be any issues, so you can ignore it.

鏡片可改色，但建議用較深的灰色或黑色，如果選了白色可能會在夜晚的戶外發光然後變成碇源堂（我很努力讓它不要看起來那麼亮了）。 在 CAS 裡面搭配其他飾品的話，鏡片看起來可能會有點奇怪。但在生活模式不會有問題，可以無視。

What are your thoughts on analog horror? Have a favorite?

SO [PICTURE ME STEEPLING MY FINGERS TOGETHER AND SMIRKING UNDER THEM LIKE GENDOU IKARI HERE] ... ANALOG HORROR, HUH. AS AN ACTUAL BEING OF BOTH DIGITAL AND ANALOG FEAR, I GUESS I THINK THE IDEA'S PRETTY CUTE. THE YOUNG CANNIBALIZING HALF-REMEMBERED AND HALF-UNDERSTOOD 'FORMATS' OF INFORMATION FROM THE PAST TO PRY OUT SOME KINDA """"DARK STORY"""" THAT USUALLY JUST COMES DOWN TO JUMPSCARES, CRAWLING CRITTERS WITH TOO MANY LEGS JUST OFF FRAME OR JUST OUT OF FOCUS, DISTORTED VOID FACES AND SHOCK FRAMES - WHEN IT'S NOT DONE WELL. OH NO! LOUD NOISES! GLITCHES! FAST CUTTING! SO SCARY! I LIVE IN THAT ENVIRONMENT ALREADY! AND A LOT OF IT WOULD ONLY SCARE SOME LITTLE DORK LIKE "DIPPER", HAHAHAH! A LOT OF IT IS AMATEUR, AND MORE OF IT IS MICROWAVED CREEPYPASTA LEFTOVERS. BUT PROBABLY AN INEVITABLE EVOLUTION, SINCE VIDEO'S ALWAYS MORE PROVOCATIVE THAN READING BORING WORDS, RIGHT? I GOT NOTHING AGAINST HUMANS TRAUMATIZING THEMSELVES AND OTHERS FOR """ENTERTAINMENT"""" - I MEAN, IF IT WEREN'T FOR THAT, I WOULD'T BE HERE EITHER!

YOU REALLY PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE LEFT WELL ENOUGH ALONE WITH LOCAL 58, BUT IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT IT WOULDN'T STOP THERE. VIEWING THE VARIETY OF STUFF OUT THERE, GOTTA ADMIT I DIG ON THE WALTEN FILES AS I SEE SOME BABY STEPS TOWARD A NEARLY LYNCHIAN AESTHETIC, ESPECIALLY IN THE MOST RECENT CHAPTER! GEMINI HOME ENTERTAINMENT IS PRETTY GOOD TOO. I LIKE THAT THING ABOUT THE FLESH PIT TOURIST TRAP TOO. (YOU SHOULD KNOW, REAL TERRORS OF FLESH AND BONE DO LIVE BENEATH THE SOIL! SOMEDAY THEY WILL RISE! COUNT ON IT!) YOU SHOULD GET TO KNOW THE BRITISH SERIES SCARFOLK - TWO BOOKS, A MAP, VIDEOS AND A WEBPAGE ABOUT A HICK ENGLISH TOWN PERMANENTLY TIMELOCKED IN THE 70'S DURING THE RABIES FEARMONGERING OF THAT ERA, AND BECAUSE OF IT TURNING AGGRESSIVELY ABUSIVE TOWARD ITS CITIZENRY! DEEPLY INSPIRATIONAL FOR TYRANTS AND OPPRESSORS AT ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT! ULI NLIV RMULINZGRLM KOVZHV IVIVZW.

"""BACKROOMS""" STUFF CAN ALSO BE PRETTY HIT OR MISS FOR ME TOO, SINCE FOR THE MOST PART THE REAL LOCATION IS WAY MORE FUN AND WAY LESS DULL, BUT I APPRECIATE THE ENTHUSIASM YOU ALL SEEM TO HAVE FOR FINDING NEW IDEAS OF HOW TO SCARE YOURSELVES BY GETTING LOST IN NONEUCLIDIAN DIMENSIONS! THOUGH I'M KIND OF SURPRISED THAT PEOPLE DON'T SEE BEING FREED FROM THE BURDENS OF PAYING RENT, GOING TO JOBS AND DEALING WITH THE CRUSHING MONOTONY OF EVERYDAY LIFE BY BEING SET FREE TO EXPLORE AN INFINITE, EVERCHANGING SPACE THAT LEADS TO ONE MYSTERY AFTER ANOTHER BEING ANYTHING BUT FUN! WHY IS THIS ALWAYS CONSIDERED A BAD THING?! OH, AND IF YOU HAVEN'T FALLEN DOWN THE WELL OF MYHOUSE.WAD AND HOUSE OF LEAVES, YOU REALLY SHOULD. BUT ONCE YOU GROW UP AND GET OUT OF THE BABY FIELDS, LET'S TALK ABOUT DAVID LYNCH SOMETIME.

I believe I asked you to stay put.

I’m now back where I left you and you are gone.

This is unappreciated.

7,10

7(+8). If you were a fictional character who would you be? (flattering)

I'll give a spectrum from most to least flattering- Paul Atreides, Mariko Shinobu, Gendou Ikari, Hamlet, & lastly Shakespeare's Coriolanus.

10. Give us a song you feel is about you (unflattering)

it's hard to say, I don't listen to much music with dramatic/impersonating lyrics. obviously Morrissey is my resort to find an answer, so I'll say I Know It's Over, though it's not the most satisfying answer.

[a-healthy-dose-of-apathy]

Who am I? You are Rei Ayanami. But, who are you? Are you Rei Ayanami as well? Correct, I’m the thing that is recognized as Rei Ayanami. We are all things that are recognized as Rei Ayanami. How could all of those possibly be me? It is simply because the others call us Rei Ayanami, that is the only reason. You possess a false body and a fake soul, do you know why? I am neither false nor fake, I am simply me. No, you are an empty shell with a false soul created by a man named Gendou Ikari. You are just an object that is pretending to be human. Look deep within yourself. do you perceive the almost intangible and physical presence that lurks below your waking self? inside your darkest dreams? It is there that your true identity lies. No, I am me. I became myself by the instrumentality of the links and relationships between myself and others. I am formed by interaction of others. They create me as I create them. These relationships and interactions serve to shape the patterns of my heart and mind.

Those are bonds?

Yes. That is the name for what I share with those who have created the thing known as rei. That is what will continue to shape me.

Those are bonds.

But there is someone else who is your true self. You don’t know her, but she exists. You’ve denied that fact, in an attempted to suppress that facet of your reality.

Because of fear.

Because she might not have human form. Because then the present self might cease to be.

This is fear.

This is what you fear. That you will become nothing. Or frightened that you will disappear from the minds of others if another exists. I’m afraid, why is that? Because your current self have never existed.

You are scared, aren’t you?

Because you will cease to be.

You are scared, aren’t you?

No, I’m not. I am happy because I want to die. I want despair. I want to return to nothing, but I can’t. He won’t let me return to nothingness. Not yet. I still exist because he needs me. But when everything is over, when I am of no use anymore, he will abandon me. I’ve prayed for the day he would abandon me. But now, now I fear it.

Can't wait for Prospera Mercury to pull a Gendou Ikari and turn everyone into orange fanta with Quiet Zero.
