Recent drawings. Guns and swords make good warmups since they let me practice basic shapes and line control.

A drawing of a knife surrounded by various flowers, done with a fineliner pen. (From bottom to top): A desert dweller swinging a scimitar! A woman wearing sunglasses scowling and holding a small bardiche. A scarred warrior cover his face with a blade held in his gloved hand.

Remember when the Ay'denn declared war on nature, established a frontier line that would one day circle the globe?
When the floating cities of the Elyah'nor gleamed bright in the harsh sun?
Or when the Log'hann burned them in the first righteous fires Earth had ever known?
Remember well, Billy'jane.
A screenshot from twitter of a quoted tweet and quote. Quoted tweet form Nikolaj: A picture of a car window with the names Ay'denn, Ella'noä, Lilly'maë, Elyah'nor, Noéz'lou, Log'hann, Brenn'ley, and Billy'jane over a hashtag momlife. Nikolaj: Why are white people in America like this" Quote tweet from Haydn: "These names bear an eerie similarity to Proto-Indo-European root names. The only conclusion that can be drawn here is that, after a few centuries away from the civilizing influence of the Mediterranean and Middle East, American white people have started going feral again." (And thus, here are the exploits of the ancients from before time itself. Know the Noéz'lou and Billy'jane, for their history is yours as well."

I love you, Star Trek matt paintings.
A frame from Star Trek TNG. A Klingon city shrouded in haze and baleful light. A frame from Star Trek TNG. The haze remains yet it seems brighter. Has day dawned on the planet of warriors?

These guys are peak faceless goons. The stormtrooper influence is obvious, but looking at them made me realize Amemiya's impact on Warframe and the Combine in Half-Life.
Parliament's elite soldiers from Mechanical Violator Hakaider. White armor plates, tall helmets and three eye lights on the forehead. More of Parliament's elite soldiers from Mechanical Violator Hakaider.

Finished off The Day It Rained Forever, one of Ray Bradbury's first short story collections. Most of the stories have Bradbury's expected emotional depth but also aren't very good, often feeling simple and unpolished.
Good if you are trying to learn from them, less so for general reading.

By complete coincidence my first Lupin of the year is also a new years episode #LupinII
Mobster to Zenigata: "I'm one of the members of the Kyoto branch of the Mafia." Lupin dressed as a padre giving a new years sermon in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Jigen (voiceover): "...together was to steal the cat's eye from the church in Santa Fe!" A split-screen shot of a sniper getting his ears shot off and Jigan getting shot in the arm. Padre Lupin is also there. Four out of seven lucky deities.

An art appreciation episode #LupinIII
A background cell painting of a pallet and various painting supplies. Zenigata resting on his hands and knees, a block of ice being held on his ass. Zenigata: "Hum, with this trick, even Lupin will be unable to steal the Mona Lisa!" Lupin to the Mona Lisa: "Hey. It's tiresome being on a date with you, you know!" Lupin resting his chin on his hands. Lupin: "It must have been done by the goblin of Leonardo da Vinci."

Top: "Gob contemplate the meaning of life - Gob have to quit when head don't feel right." Bottom: 60's revival, Gob get groovy - Drink too much punch, L.S.D. doozy."
