Icarus's blog: "Somantics"

Apparently while I was buzzed last night I ate about 1/3rd of the prosciutto I had.
Bummer.
I'm not going to remember most of that experience.

Anyway, last night I couldn't sleep (surprise)
I've been up a whole 20 minutes.

And someone told me I inspire them.
Aw. That's always nice.

But last night I also drew my old personalized suit Abgrund and in doing so, I may have come up with an existing bandai kit that might be modified into him.

See Abgrund is this big, spooky (I'm not bothering to scan and post the picture right now) faceless hulking gimp. He has a spinal column-like midsection supporting two huge arms with lode chains.
His eyes re 8 small rivets that look something similar to spider eyes, clawed fingers
etc.

I was trying to draw something that was the sum of my fears as a mobile suit, so I drew a blank (hah- get it? Cuz he has no face) and out popped Abgrund, now that I have him, I think of him more of an interdimensional pet with the ability to rip a tank in half with his hands.

The Gyan kinda matches his figure, so that's not terribly intimidating, but that spinal column would have to be scratch built, along with probably most of his head hands and limbs.

Oh well, its down the line a bit.
Still got quite a bit to do on my custom Gouf.

Also, finished Green Wing.
Sad face.

But I found Initial D (classic motherfuckers), Desert Punk (heard it looked better than it was), Mushi-Shi (highly recommended by my brother), and an anime version of the Count of Monte Cristo (I was curious).

I don't think I'll be bored.

I wanna say my shoulders are done, but I probably won't really know until I prime them and check for pumps crags and spots.

let's see... what IS left on Gouf Tetra Star?

6 Shoulder Jet arrays
4 Calf boosters
2 Achilles arrays
Butt thruster array
forearm weapon
anti material rifle
finish the grenade launcher (kinda plataued until painting)
Build a second torso segment

*whistles*
that's a lot actually.
