So I Finished Sonic Frontiers, And Now I Need Some Floor Time.

Manzanita the Wolf and Ava the Harp Seal.

Ava would be happy to listen to infodumping on ancient ruin zones, but work is work.

commission for @sweetcreme

thanks again for commissioning me!

I have a weirdly specific type.

More Old Frontier stuff

SAO but Zoids, more of a new century setup, Nascar meets gladiator system.

Information on specific character/Zoid combos after the read more.

Asuna is a high ranking pilot from the dominating team in the major league of zoid battles, KOB, but worries that her parents money and resources could be influencing her wins and starts moonlighting in the minor league to prove her skills. Her partner is a Lanstag that has been passed down in the Yuuki family for generations.

Kirito left his adoptive home and set out in the Blade Liger he was found in as a toddler, joining MBC, a minor league zoid team run by a group of lifelong friends and zoid enthusiasts. His skills as a pilot lead to a rapid rise in the ranks and he became very close with his doubles partner, Sachi, but an accident during a match resulted in Sachi being hospitalized. Kirito was unable to forgive himself and left without even learning if she survived.

Kayaba is the team captain of KOB, as well as the head of their R&D department. The Yuuki Conglomerate have been using the Zoids battle league to develop military Zoids for a potential future war but Kayaba seems focused on limiting or removing the separation between zoid and pilot. Mainly pilots a modified Sturm Tyrann.

Kuradeel is a mid ranked fighter in KOB, who pilots a Sword Wolf. If there was a ranking of Creepiest major league pilots he would be in the top 10.

Silica has a zoid, but is not a fighter. After getting lost in the forest outside her hometown she met Pina, her best friend and a zoid of indeterminate model or species.

Lisbeth is a travelling Zoid mechanic and Asuna's close friend. Her Gustav and Camper trailer have become the unofficial headquarters of Asuna and Kirito's as yet unnamed minor league team.

Sachi was never fond of zoid battles, but the lack of steady non combat work for Zoid pilots led to her and her friends starting the MBC. Formerly piloted a Rev Raptor.

Team PML is made up of pilots who could have been on par with KOB in the majors, but constant personal drama and repeated breakups and reunions leave them in the minors.

Llenn pilots a custom Leostriker, and is known for jettisoning her armor to rush opponents at incredible speed. Exclusively pilots small and micro scale Zoids and rarely talks to reporters.

Pitohui is known for using a wide variety of Zoids, but has recently favored a Liger Zero. Hasn't been reached for comment or photographed.

M is left picking up the slack for PML PR, and seems to be the most long suffering of the team, though he is the one member of the team to have never quit or joined a competing team. Used to pilot a Cannon Tortoise, but when Pitohui debuted her Liger Zero he switched to a heavily modified Iron Kong that serves to carry and swap Her Liger's CAS units.

Year In review type deal, it was hard finding examples that I can show publicly for some months since I've spent so much time on design documents and character sheets. this year has definitely been more of a shift in style and workflow, rather than a straightforward "improvement" and I have to say I'm alright with that.

Excited to see what catches my eye in art and multimedia going forward, and to make more progress in my work.

Also November has 2 pieces, but it was kind of a diptych, so what are you gonna do?

Trying to make a kind of fairytale, not sure what sort of format to use, just working on characters and main beats for now.

Recently came across the amazing Beast Wars Mirage design by @opalknights and had a go at drawing/tweaking it, they'd be an instant buy if they were an actual figure

Day 5-Relationships

Mary doesn't have any relatives to speak of, and couldn't tell you their neighbor's names, but they have a sense of camaraderie with other LOUP agents, and deep bonds with the other surviving members of the defunct LOUP Special Operatives such as their partner Issac.

Behind closed doors, She is becoming increasingly obsessed with the Red Girl case, and the Red Girl is obsessed with her too.

Day 6- Symbol

Little Red Riding Hood has always been my favorite fairy tale, and Machine Hunter LOUP is my latest go at playing with the themes and images from it, as well as classic sci-fi anime like Jin Roh, Armitage III, and Bubblegum Crisis.

I plastered the LOUP logo- an exaggerated, minimalist set of wolf fangs all over the equipment and uniforms, and tattooed it on Mary's right arm because subtlety has never been my forte.
