I got a bunch of interest here so I'll be going through responses today.

Some more detail of the job: I'm looking for wallpaper sized illustrations showing the RX-78-2 in a classic pose against a simple background. Lots of possibilities but one example would be a redraw of this shot from the OP!

I'm a little bit sorry for this

Spirit City: Lofi Sessions is adorable! I don't know if I'll use it's productivity tools but decorating a room and hanging out with cute critters is more than enough for me!

Visited a Gundam today! Also briefly visited Star Jaburo but a Zeong related emergency cut the trip short.

I think it's important to know that these dogs are the pilots of that robot

Ah yes, let's build Australia with hard work, innovation and non-progressive Gundam ideals like *checks notes* dropping a space colony on Sydney.

Thanks for the bot bait! @pmctrilogy.bsky.social

Please don't ask me how many attempts it took me to do this in Super Video Golf, lets just pretend this happened naturally and randomly due to my amazing skill.

Today's gunpla build:
The Gundam Base Limited RX-78-2 Gundam (The Gundam Base Color) Entry Grade

I like Entry Grade kits, they're very chill and you can finish them in a single short session!

The Suletta P-Bandai jacket is already out of stock only an hour after preorders opened. Guess I just saved a bunch of money!

Byte Breakers is fun and I'm not just saying that because I'm a dev, and I'm not just saying it because I won, but those are contributing factors!

If you'd like to play a platform fighter mixed with a battle royale, you can play it by going to our steam page store.steampowered.com/app/2503080/...

I'm the worst Byte Breakers player of the whole dev team but for today, the first public testing day, I've ascended all the way from terrible to pretty good!

P.S you can come test Byte Breakers by signing up on our steam page, the test has started early store.steampowered.com/app/2503080/...

I Am Your Beast - a fast-paced covert revenge thriller FPS from Strange Scaffold - came out today, you should check it out! Also if you're a big fan of Strange Scaffold like me they effectively do choose your own pricing lol
