The Chinese fandom community is organising a drawing relay event, and this is my sketch; I’d really love to draw more 13cards fics, but I’ve got two major illustration commissions to work on at the moment…
I’m not sure if anyone here feels the same way—there was a time when I was obsessed with tanks, mainly because of their design; I loved drawing them. But I soon began to feel a strong sense of blame, primarily because I found it horrifying that weapons were being portrayed as cute and cool in streaming media, and I felt it was even more unacceptable that I had long agreed with this view. I’d rather not go into the rest of it for now. Last year, I took an elective course on ‘The Aesthetics of Weapons’, hoping to explore others’ attitudes towards the aesthetic appeal of weapons. Perhaps it was because my lecturer didn’t explain things very well, but I actually sensed a slightly unsettling undertone of incitement; the way he went on at length about their lethality made it impossible for me to view my past hobby in the usual light.
My first fan art of Kuromaku it’s the fx9 version of Kuro, and I actually prefer the clones from the fx9 version;It feels like… more complete, more personality. but I always feel awkward when drawing emotions, so the fx9 Kuro I draw lack expression.
